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

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.Â
jadeisokay Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) 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!" jadeisokay and mustmatatus 1 1
placeinspace Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 I'm not in school anymore but at this point I am officially checked out at work so I feel your pain. victoriansimpkins 1
havemybloodchild Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 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.
pdh12 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 I'm riding a motorcycle across the country the day school gets out. feel free to join! planning for it is therapeutic (on that note if anything particular Definitely Needs to be checked out, let me know!)

pdh12 Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 @kendalldinniene oooo ever read her Ode to the Douche? It breathes new life onto anyone you then deem worthy of the term

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!
