So Far
So good, I guess?
This week in classes has included an analysis of Cee Lo Green’s 2011 hit “Fuck You,” Kid Cudi’s “Soundtrack 2 My Life” and a Megadeath song, saying sodomy like 5 times in class, having to explain why we thought laws banning the sale of sex toys were “absurd” and not doing a good job, TOLKIEN TOLKIEN TOLKIEN (“hater’s...

This "Spring Break"
Is really fucking bizzare. Serious, earnest during the day, way too much Mezcal at night. I feel like I have two different, awesome, lives. I know more about Mexico than I ever wanted to know, and two people have told me that I have given them the best tours they have ever had. I am also working through The Simairlion. I AM COOL!

I definitely didn't mean to say that UChicago isn't hard for you or you don't have your own horror stories about going here. Your posts just seemed like a good jumping off point.

"God's Work" by Anne Carson
Moonlight in the kitchen is a sign of God. The kind of sadness that is a black suction pipe extracting you from your own navel and which the Buddhists call “no mindcover” is a sign of God. The blind alleys that run alongside human conversation like lashes are a sign of God. God’s own calmness is a sign of God. The surprisingly cold smell of potatoes or money. Solid pieces...

This is the most UChicago thing I have ever seen.
I just received this email from the Dean of Students:
On December 6 during the opening of the Winter add/drop period, the University’s registration system was overwhelmed by scripts that were launched by students attempting to gain seats…
I know someone who promised to show me how to use the script. WHOOPS. NEVERMIND I GUESS.

Ladie's Night! Day? Whoo!
It was/is International Woman’s Day! I have the same mixed feelings about this day as I do with Black History Month. On one hand, it is awesome to see marginalized groups get the spotlight that they are actively denied every other day of the year! Ladies are 50%ish of the people on this planet, but you could have fooled me! What have they done for me lately? A Lot! Let’s talk about it!...

Feminist Coming Out Day.
I realized I was a feminist when I was 14 and doing some construction on a mission trip. I was having trouble hammering, which was very frustrating. My, male, site lead told me not to worry because “you’ll always have a guy around to do all of your hammering for you. You can tell him where to nail, he can do the hard stuff.” Well. By the end of the week I could get a nail flush...

WatchSo. A few things.
This song has been my jam for like, the past 2 months or something. His whole album is great, actually, but I want to go back home so I can drive my mom’s car, and sing this out the windows.
Yes it is Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy. And? Come talk to me when you’re half as talented as he is/have a cooler looking jacket. That’s what I thought.
