my fiction/drama class continues to be fantastically good. we are still talking about frost’s poem and touched a little on dfw’s speech today, only spent like 10 minutes on it but it made me so happy to hear everyone’s thoughts, they liked it and all that, since it is so special to me. we are moving on to mrs. dalloway now and i don’t know if it’s because i’m in the kind of groove where i just really really want it to be good, but it is so good. maybe not good but it’s killing me, being in each character’s head, especially clarissa and septimus, it’s just ridiculous, so hazily exactly how i feel or think or work through stuff or something, the way woolf says stuff, every thing is totally bowling me over and it’s hard to read, like comprehension-y read, it’s taking me a long time to get through it, but man. i hope the other books for this course freak me out as much as this one.

god man i love this so much, i could sit in there all day and listen to him get so excited about stuff and talk about bridges and metaphors and symbols and dance around. people in the class too say way smarter, more insightful things than any course i’ve ever taken before

and

UGH IT’S THE BEST
