I don’t even know what I’m looking at right now.

[vincentharvey]

This is why I choose to grade instead of come on here in the evenings. 

[nikovaduva]

The beauty around me? Have you seen Colorado, domnule Harvey? 

YOLO definitely has nothing to do with opening your eyes to the world’s beauty. 

[vincentharvey]

I have, Mr. Väduva and I believe Colorado is quite beautiful if you let it be. 

Is it not? Perhaps the word I'm looking for is swag. Surround yourself in swag and you will find beauty even in the most mundane aspects of life. 

[nikovaduva]

… It’s just… 

I feel this way and I can’t see beauty in anything anymore. I don’t know what to do. 

[vincentharvey]

It sounds like you're worrying too much about things that are out of your control. If you open your eyes to the beauty surrounding you you'd figure out what to do. As you kids say, YOLO.

[nikovaduva]

There is no ‘meant to be.’ The universe isn’t kind like that. 

[vincentharvey]

I suppose I can't force my ideology on you but I disagree again. 

[nikovaduva]

Then what would you say if I told you I was terribly lonely, and afraid to go home? To be alone for the next few years without someone I love? I don’t think there’s a lot to say. 

[vincentharvey]

You're right, there isn't much I can say on the matter being an outsider. All I can assure you is that you've got a long life ahead of you and I'm sure love can withstand a few years apart if it's meant to be. 

[nikovaduva]

Not entirely. But I suppose I shouldn’t bother you with it. Your job isn’t to counsel students. 

[vincentharvey]

I disagree.

[nikovaduva]

Unfortunately, they look terrible. I couldn’t draw a line as of late. 

[vincentharvey]

Is everything alright, Mr. Väduva? 

[nikovaduva]

I’m assuming ‘artist’s block’ won’t be a reasonable excuse to salvage points? 

[vincentharvey]

I'm afraid not. 

The most recent assignments have only been exercises. I'm sure with enough time devoted to them you can crank them out fairly easy, even with artist's block.

[vincentharvey]

I've extended the deadline for your sketchbooks to be in to Friday.

 Starting Monday I will be deducting points.

Well, like I said that’s good. It would be a ridiculous way to die after everything. 

Yes, I’m the English teacher, but I’m not sure about the ‘favor’ part. Mostly I think they like that I don’t give a lot of homework and we watched a movie in class today. I know that your students admire you very much. Mr. Väduva speaks very highly of you.

[vincentharvey]

You'd be surprise how many ridiculous ways people have died out there. We've watched movies in my classroom but the students don't seem to enjoy them as much as I do. Mr. Väduva? I think he's just very fond of art, I certainly haven't taught him any of his talent. 

[qivdtje]

That’s good to know. Not dying is good. Who would drink 150 shots of espresso. I’m pretty sure you would throw up before you could consume that much. 

I’m sorry my memory is awful. We’ve met before right? You’re the art teacher?

[vincentharvey]

It'd be quite difficult to drink that much and I don't think anyone has actually died from a caffeine overdose. I believe we did, briefly. You're correct, you're that english teacher all the students favor?

[qivdtje]

Ran into a student at the coffee shop where he works and told him I liked my coffee very very dark. He doesn’t particularly like me very much and he gave me this thing that he said had 8 shots of espresso in it. I literally did not sleep last night and I think I’m having heart palpitations.

[vincentharvey]

Too much caffeine could kill you, however, it would take close to 150 shots of espresso to do so. You'll be fine.
