So today was great, and I loved the UN.
Then I came home.

The Motive for Metaphor, by Wallace Stevens
thespacesamidlove:
You like it under the trees in autumn,
Because everything is half dead.
The wind moves like a cripple among the leaves
And repeats words without meaning.
In the same way, you were happy in spring,
With the half colors of quarter-things,
The slightly brighter sky, the melting clouds,
The single bird, the obscure moon--
The obscure moon lighting an obscure world
Of things that...
No Ideas About The Thing But The Thing Itself
hearsir:
by Wallace Stevens At the earliest ending of winter,
In March, a scrawny cry from outside
Seemed like a sound in his mind.
He knew that he heard it,
A bird's cry at daylight or before,

It's really important that you do this stuff and not fuck around, just sit down and power through it. It's going to work out really well and you'll feel really accomplished and you should just really take initiative because honestly if you don't you're going to get super overwhelmed and then you'll end up stressing on Sunday night and not getting any sleep and then you'll be tired during school and it really is just a vicious circle so, come on, you got this, you can do this.
On Sunday night: Well, fuck.

I have so much fucking work, holy shit.
Why do teachers think it’s okay to assign 10x the work because we had a long weekend?

One of the greatest things in life is driving alone at night with the window down and the music blasting.
Really, no matter how cold it is out, it just always feels awesome.

Two scientists walk into a bar
The first says “I’ll have some H2O.”
The second says “I’ll have some H2O, too.”
Both of them receive water because the bartender is not irresponsible enough to serve concentrated hydrogen peroxide as a drink.
