Song: Chandelier x B.O.B
So where have I been? With fall came a tremendous amount of work, two workshops, and only time for a single blog rant that honestly had no point besides me being upset. But right now, I have a few minutes to spare before MOFY, dinner, and returning to the mountain of homework I have to scale over the next 9 days.
The semester is coming to a close. Wild, isn't it?
As I coolly did all of my work and somehow managed to have a social life, an academic life, and get enough sleep - which never happened at Elon until I was a senior and hit hard by senioritis. I keep telling myself "I chose the MFA life" instead of it choosing me (even though it did, but you get what I mean right?). Basically, it's a constant reminder that this is a privilege and that I shouldn't take it for granted, that even when it gets rough (and trust me, I had a coexisting virus and infection this past week, so it was rough), I need to just hold my ground, do my work, and grind hard right now, so I can relax when I'm older.
I think the best part of grad school is that I'm actually working towards my passion. In undergrad, sure, I was following my passion in humanity by double majoring, but here all I have to do is write, read, and repeat. No one is pushing math into my face and expecting me to do it. It's all about the words, making sentences, getting freaky with imagery, and I love it.
I wish I was better at keeping up and running this blog, but shoutout to all of you that read this...Let me know who you are if you know me, let me know if you've read my work, if you want to collab, etc.
Look forward to a more in-depth piece about how I feel about workshops in general and the end of my race to the semester.
