16th April 2024

29 days till first exam

I’m gonna be honest!!! I completely stressed out about thinking about revision which is why I stopped posting/ doing anything in order to avoid the problem. I’ve started buckling down again so I figured I would start posting and see what happens :3

I’m going to stop volunteering over the exam period which will feel weird but grades are important right now. Anyway here’s my work for the day:

Write an essay on the US presidency, To what extent is the president imperial?

Write up my Pulp Fiction essay, To what extent is narrative an experimental device in Pulp Fiction

Play some animal crossing (I need a break 😭)

Do my second to last volunteering session :3

I also got my grade back for my Film studies coursework, I got 33/40 which is an A so I’m very happy with that, we have a write up to do for it so I still have a chance on making that grade slightly higher. I’m glad it’s over because it’s been so much work and honestly I have not enjoyed it 💀

For now I’m staying at school to get my essays done and listening to the study with cats pomodoro timer (I’m obsessed w these atm)

Hope you’re all doing well and have a lovely day <33333

Does love bring, even if unconsciously, the delusional arrogance of expecting never to be touched by grief?

Quote

We lay in the snow next to each other and made our angels. I was going to get up, but Martha took my hand and held it. She was wearing these red mittens they'd found for her, and I could feel her fingers gripping mine through my gloves. We just stayed like that, looking up at the sky while the snow came down. It kept falling, and for a little while it felt like we were flying through space and the snowflakes were stars rushing all around us.

All people are complex All people want to be loved However, I’ve found that simple people are a gaggle of unicorns Who have cut their complexities in half They still exist as their whole selves Just maimed in sad ways

4.28.23 @ 2:20 p.m. -> I’m working on my Early American Literature presentation that’s due on Monday. I’m reading Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs. It’s heartbreaking and deeply moving. She’s an amazing woman and an amazing author.

Day 3 of my 41rst Win A Commission Contest! If you guess what story this is from before I post the title, you get a commission! Click the link or check out the tag #wac for more details! :) This one ends on September 14th, 2022.

Hint: CF was being kept in a pig pen because the Lord Pharaoh is a cruel person, but luckily the court jester helps him escape.

#win a commission #american literature #childrens literature #I really dramatized this scene but the rest are pretty simplistic so I don’t care #cabbage face #coincidentally his name can be made out of music notes ;)

I love inscriptions on flyleaves and notes in margins, I like the comradely sense of turning pages someone else turned, and reading passages someone long gone has called my attention to.

Saul Bellow // Humboldt’s Gift 1975.

I’m rereading this masterpiece and at least one or two phrases a page make me sigh or gasp or sniff or guffaw with baffled wonder or riotous laughter; with awe, above all else: awe. Marvel, for example, at this exquisite set-piece on Art and Culture in a modern society:

— At this point Humboldt generally spoke of Antonin Artaud. Artaud the playwright, invited the most brilliant intellectuals in Paris to a lecture. When they were assembled there was no lecture. Artaud came on stage and screamed at them like a wild beast. "Opened his mouth and screamed," said Humboldt. "Raging screams. While those Parisian intellectuals sat frightened. For them it was a delicious event. And why? Artaud as the artist was a failed priest. Failed priests specialize in blasphemy. Blasphemy is aimed at a community of believers. In this case, what kind of belief? Belief only in intellect, which a Ferenczi [Nb., Sándor Ferenczi, Hungarian psychoanalyst] has now charged with madness. But what does it mean in a larger sense? It means that the only art intellectuals can be interested in is an art which celebrates the primacy of ideas. Artists must interest intellectuals, this new class. This is why the state of culture and the history of culture become the subject matter of art. This is why a refined audience of Frenchmen listens respectfully to Artaud screaming. For them the whole purpose of art is to suggest and inspire ideas and discourse. The educated people of modern countries are a thinking rabble at the stage of what Marx called primitive accumulation. Their business is to reduce masterpieces to discourse. Artaud's scream is an intellectual thing.”

"Never" has come to stay. "Never" feels so unfairly punitive. For the rest of my life, I will live with my hands outstretched for things that are no longer there.
