Box 8 "Questioning Your Fieldnotes"

When observing the objects laid out along the front board things did surprise and intrigue me. The two most intriguing objects at the front board for me were the journal and the book "A Bullshit night in Suck City" by Nick Flyn. The journal intrigued me so much because I absolutely love to write and love to be creative with my words. I used to spend a lot of my free time at night writing poetry and that is something I have let slip away from me in the past few years. Opening the journal I then saw there was a page of scribbled notes. I did not read the page but remember the first words being something along the lines of "I am addicted to her" and it sounded like a thought on how to start a poem. I was also surprised that this page was left in here because I am very protective over my writing and keep it to myself; very rarely did anyone ever read my poetry. The novel at the board somewhat surprised me because it was a funny title. It intrigued me because like writing, I love to read. I read the back of the book learning that it was about a boy in a homeless shelter receiving letters from his "stranger dad" and one day meeting him. The book sounded good and as I got to my seat i immediately looked on Ball States Library website to see if it was in their collection. Unfortunately It isn't.
