my undergrad institution is where they keep jeremy bentham's beautiful mummified corpse on display. i still think about him wistfully sometimes - we shared a lot of good memories, him encased in his glass cabinet, me proudly showing him off to uneasy prospective students...

I saw him at the Met Breuer last year. It was like...WE were panopticonning HIM. poetic justice.

Anyone else had more than a few frantic conversations with telemarketers recently?

Omg same I keep picking up unknown numbers because any call could be *the call*, but the more you pick up the more they call. Ughhhh.

does anyone else have senioritis bad? barely a quarter-way into this last semester and my brain checked out already. thinking about apps/moving/health insurance/medical issues and moving... there's not a lot of space left over and my brain didn't have much room to begin with.

on a happier note, i just had a fantastic vegan donut. probably not what my body needed after the gym but very soothing for the soul if anything.

Y E S. The amount to which I've been phoning it in in my classes is extreme. In one of my classes I literally just peruse GradCafe for the entire hour. The other day I said to my housemate "I don't have any homework!" and she said "Listen. I know for a fact you do have homework. You're just not doing it!"

I graduated last spring, and now I spend time wishing I were back at school, talking theories with my classmates, doing research in the library,  and crashing my professor's office hours to pick their brains.  Haha, the grass is always greener, I guess.

anyone read some good poem lately?

I've been digging back into the work of Czeslaw Milosz, who is a particular fave of mine. 

Also, I bought Ocean Vuong's Night Sky with Exit Wounds at a Planned Parenthood used book sale in the fall, and just now got around to reading it. It's AMAZING.

I'm also a huge fan of Chen Chen. These three are probably my favorites of his:

Poplar Street: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/58154/poplar-street

Poem in Noisy Mouthfuls: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/143242/poem-in-noisy-mouthfuls

I'm Not A Religious Person But https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/58152/im-not-a-religious-person-but

Also recommend signing up for the poets.org Poem-A-Day thing--sends one poem every morning to your email!

I’m so jealous of the scientists rn 

Yeahhh but I am not so jealous of how most have to apply separately to work in particular labs first, and then apply to the program!
