JustPoesieAlong Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 @FreakyFoucault btw, speaking of reading materials, I started The Bell Jar. It's been sitting on my shelf for over a year now, so I figured it was time. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think they’re a good complement to the series—and so far I kind of enjoy what HBO changed... haha. His writing is also excessively macho, but well it’s relatively old The weird macho tone is I think part of what got to me. I felt like the show did a great disservice to Catelyn Stark, but I love where they've taken most of the other female leads. I'm totally team Cersei most days (I literally cheered with her "I choose violence" scene. YASSS QUEEN.)

"Buddy Willard went to Yale, but now I thought of it, what was wrong with him was that he was stupid. Oh, he'd managed to get good marks all right, and to have an affair with some awful waitress on the Cape by the name of Gladys, but he didn't have one speck of intuition. Doreen had intuition. Everything she said was like a secret voice speaking straight out of my own bones." ^I'd say pretty darn good for being primarily a poet...

ashley623 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Not really sure where else to put this without making a whole new topic, but... did anyone bring their dog to grad school, or plan to? midwest-ford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Two dogs and a cat, actually. Oh, and a husband and kiddo. So maybe it doesn't count ? Really though, I can't imagine not having my puppers with me during grad school. They're very supportive of my academic endeavors. bumbleblu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashley623 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Here's my problem. I have a horse and a dog. The horse I board and the dog lives at home with me, my dad, my sister, my niece, and the other dog. Originally, I was going to take the dog and leave the horse for a little while. Then, my dad convinced me to leave the dog saying I would be very busy in grad school and it would be hard on the dog to separate from the other dog, and my dad promised he would bring my dog up if I decided I wanted him, so I agreed. But I just had surgery and have been recovering at my mom's house, and it's been a total sh*tshow with my dad taking care of my dog...he's kind of special needs, in a way. My mom convinced me to go ahead and just take my horse, so I'm doing that, and now I feel like I'm back to square one and having to take both! I'm just a little nervous about it, both with time and expenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yanaka Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Dogs are so much more work than cats—and my cats are already work. I planned on getting a cat or two, and I did! I couldn’t resist. But I should have xD I’m often gone all day, I’m already sad to leave the cats, and they are two and can play and go to the bathroom inside... a dog, I can’t imagine! Although I’m sure people work it out. Also I have to have them looked after when I plan on going to conferences and stuff. I should have taken just one antisocial cat so I would have been able to travel with it. Two aren’t allowed on trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started my MFA I transported two chihuahuas - one fairly ordinary, playful dog, and one with an anxiety disorder so bad our vets keep asking if he'll take medication (Matzo's really only that bad IN the vets office, otherwise his fear/anxiety are manageable) - from Southern California to Philadelphia by car. We'll call it an experience. We got one of those hammock things that covers the whole backseat, just for Matzo to spend the whole time looking out of it and crying like he was being kidnapped (see below). 0/10 stars. Do not recommend. clinamen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
