My first week of sophomore yr as an English major is complete!

I have so much shit to do. For my British lit class I have to finish reading Beowulf which is insanely long for an epic poem. This is my first ever time, reading an epic poem. Along with that reading I have to analyze and write a short paragraphs with textual evidence on wether Beowulf is a hero or not.

Other than that the rest of my assignments are pretty short! Beowulf is just taking up too much of my time especially trying to make my brain process the storyline which I don’t know half of what’s going on either.

I’m reading sweat, a play in my global dramatic lit and it’s so fucking hilarious. It’s great!

And then I have yet to start my philosophy science class, its interesting but I plan of starting today.

ughhh, my pile of readings and assignments keep getting bigger after I finished my longest readings.

One step at a time I guess

When he’s Jacks, The Prince Of Hearts <3

“Do you want to kiss me, Little Fox?”

“I like you right now. I like you a lot. In fact, I can’t think of anything I like more.”

“I do not want you dead, and I’ll kill anyone who tries.”

“Don’t fret, I won’t tell your husband that you’re obsessed with me.”

“Little Fox, Had to leave. Things to do. Try not to die while I’m gone.- J”

“I was killing innocent maidens and kicking puppies.”

“It’s all right. I’d probably kill another man if I found him with you like this.”

“If it’s easier, you can pretend too. You can pretend that I’m still Jacks of The Hollow and that you want to be mine.”

“There is nothing of equal value to me.”

What Is Writing?

Writing as many people assume is someone who tells stories in the form of books. But, what many don’t know is writing and being a writer can be in a multitude of different ways. You can be a writer by posting blog posts of your day, diary entries, thoughts, poems, short stories. It can be anything. 

Moral of the story do not let someone tell you who is a writer. As Mia Thermopolis would say miracles happen!

After my freshman yr. This post speaks to me more than ever. I have brown as a writer, and realized that despite academic standards. Writing is subjective and personal, humans are not perfect and we grow and learn.

Shakespearean Insults:

All eyes and no sight

LUMP OF FOUL DEFORMITY

Thou art a boil, a plague-sore, an embossed carbuncle

Not so much brain as earwax

ANOINTED SOVEREIGN OF SIGNS AND GROANS

A fusty nut with no kernel

SERPENT HEART, HID WITH FLOWERING FACE

Crusty botch of nature

HIGHLY FED AND LOWLY TAUGHT

You scullion! You rampallian! You fustilarian

Idol of idiot-worshippers!

No kernel in this light nut; the soul of this man is his clothes

All the infections that the sun sucks up from bogs

Infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise-breaker

i’m so fucking sick of people (say, the people currently winning the lawsuit) claiming that the internet archive infringes their precious darling copyrights—if they want individual books taken down, why should the trial not only be about those?—why must they punish the entire catalogue? i use the archive primarily for old historical books, academic books, many books that are niche or 100+ years old which no one can buy anywhere, nearly no one would buy even if they could, and which the vast majority of real libraries do not even carry. i use the internet archive practically every single day for research and studying and it is my #1 resource by far. why do people value profits over knowledge? why do people value profits over accessibility? this is a library and the publishing companies are mad because it allows people to read their works for free. IT’S A FUCKING LIBRARY! poor people deserve to read and access archives. poor people make up the majority of the human race. all this trial is accomplishing is making thousands of great books inaccessible to poor people because publishing companies want to save a few bucks. sure, you can borrow books from other libraries via interlibrary loaning, but doing so takes WEEKS due to shipping. the internet archive saves people an enormous amount of time and money. this is a major case of book burning being put into action and practically no one outside of academia gives a fuck or even knows about this issue because journalists know this story won’t sell well and thus aren’t bringing attention to it. i am disgusted and my hope for humanity is in the gutter.
