Another semester in the books! I genuinely didn't think I could do this (I wrote 120 pages of essay this semester, not including works cited), but I'm stoked! And I'm officially done with 5 class semesters! (At least until grad school?)

I still have 2 take home essays for finals (1 is a full research essay) and then 2 sit-down finals, but I'm finished all my coursework otherwise!

I have, so far, written nearly 100 pages of essay this semester (97, to be exact, not including my works cited pages). Summer can't come soon enough.

I cannot write poetry for the life of me why in the hell did I decide to write an 8 - 12 page poem-essay for my final project worth 40% of my final grade what is wrong with me. 😭

Finished my Defense of Fiction and am actually kind of proud of it!

Seven days left of the semester (not including finals). Four more papers to go (also not including finals).

Let's go. 😤

My time has finally come!

Someone decided to listen to their music in public over their cellphone speakers. There is no one else around us.

Please enjoy your introduction to Fleshgod Apocalypse, bro.

Today's the kind of school day I have always dreamed of. Pirates class we watched a bit of the silent film The Black Pirate and Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, my Queer Theories class is cancelled so we can work on our final papers, and my Horror class we'll be watching the last of Annihilation.

I've done it! I'm officially done all my assigned reading for the semester! 🥳🥳🥳

Time to get to work on those 7 writing assignments I have due before the end.

Prof: How is this critic (Cleanth Brooks) like this other critic (Saussure) we've studied?
Me: They're both talking about like, the technical aspects of writing
Prof: What do you mean by that?
Me: Well...it's like... See... *Flounders* So in like, Technical Death Metal, you get...

Managed to read 509 pages today (464 of those pages were for school, the other 45 for book club). Feeling pretty accomplished about this today.

Y’all… please don’t stop creating.

I know the economics aren’t currently in our favor.

I also know that if we let the value of the arts be consumed solely by those who define it economically, we will be even more profoundly fucked than we are now.

The fight for our humanity needs the arts.

The extremely annoying moment where I read/skim through an extremely academic intro to a book of poems only to discover all the poems are still in Latin.

I'm actually pretty good with money as long as I don't go outside where all the stores are or stay inside where my phone is

If you're confused about who I am, I used to go by ~poisonnenvy here. As you can see, I have now changed my name to the very different ~poisonenvy. I hope I have managed to clear up any confusion.

SUCK IT, TREBEK! After five days, I have FINALLY finished this History of Criticism paper (and at 1002 words, which is almost the 1000 upper word limit we were given). I still need to edit it because it's a piece of crap right now, but I'm going to leave that for tomorrow.

9 more assignments to go!

I have been working on a three-page paper for FIVE DAYS and I only just now finished the first paragraph I hate it I hate it I hate it.

And so the crunch begins. A little more than a month left until the last day of classes. Ten writing assignments to go. Can I make it? 👀👀

Speaking of terrible academic puns, I submitted a paper that looked at John Gay's The Beggar's Opera and Polly through a queer lense today that was called "John Gay's Gay Plays" and even if it was probably a terrible decision born from 3AM brain, it still amused me why too much to resist.

Got back my Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde paper today.

I have never been so proud 🥲 (first footnote is attached to the word "hide," second attached to the word "hidden.")

Strength is not measured by how much you can lift or how many trials you can endure, strength is measured by how long you’re willing to stay twisted up like God’s most uncomfortable little pretzel to avoid waking up your pet

Me: Oh goodie, a book about lesbians that has a whole section dedicated to lesbianism from the 16th - 18th century!

The book: But of course these relationships were non-sexual, because women didn't realize they enjoyed sex until men like Freud said they were allowed to.

Needing to forcefully remind myself that they're not using 21st century slang in an academic text written in 1954.
