I have a quite irritating tendency to learn things the hard way. I suppose I never quite figured out how to avoid sticky situations without getting into them first. However, before, the majority of those mistakes were linked directly to my personal life, and, so, I could easily move beyond (in a sense). This time, I've managed to muck up my ( Read more... )

So, it's been quite a while since my last update. Though I realize this forum is no longer really used by anyone, it's a nice place for me to leave my thoughts ( Read more... )

There's something about death that'll make a person think and feel crazy things. I suppose I have to admit that I'm not okay. I'm not okay and I'm not sure where I'm taking those feelings ( Read more... )

Well, it's been an embarrassingly long time since I last updated. Or perhaps not embarrassing, but long. I was finally done with school for the semester, if a tad late, and it was the day after Christmas, and, well, I'd finished downloading songs to amuse myself with, so I began to write poetry. So...here it is. Just a bit of poetry to send out ( Read more... )

Can't sleep again. I'm anxious about tomorrow, despite the fact that it's only an orientation, meant to prepare me for the upcoming week. It's the study session, not the test...or something like that. But that anxiety is also excitement; I can do it ( Read more... )

Let's talk, if we can, about plans. About my plans. My good, comprehensive, pragmatic, safe little plans. My treacherous, traitorous, ill-meaning plans. Okay. Maybe not ill-meaning, but certainly traitorous. Yes, that's right, they take my intentions and throw them out the window, replacing said intentions with pitfalls and curve balls. I suppose ( Read more... )

Oh my. Oh Lord, what can I say? Finals went well, somehow. Despite my need to do everything last-minute. And when I say last-minute, I mean writing a paper until 3 am, getting up at 5 am to go to work at 6 am, getting home at 3:30 pm, finishing my paper, and turning it in around 6 pm. Ouch. Other than that, things went pretty well. (Okay, so I ( Read more... )

Finals are here. I have two very large paper projects due next week and another one the week following that. I haven't even started writing any of them. Today was meant to begin writing and transcribing and translating my translation project for my Old English Prose class. I got all of my work done for the law firm. I even cleaned the kitchen ( Read more... )

So, I'm taking a class on Prose Styles, which is proving to be quite intriguing. I've finally begun the research for my "pound of flesh," as "Papa Shea" calls it, which will have to do with the strange and heady phenomenon of "prose poetry." An oxymoron to some, but apparently a very real and very valid genre. Some even go so far as to deem it a ( Read more... )

Here's just a little something I wrote for an assignment (on cumulative sentences a-la-Christensen), and I was fond of it ( Read more... )
