Reading Hurts
treesquirrrel: That moment when you finish a book, look around, and realize that everyone is just carrying on with their lives as though you didn’t just experience emotional trauma at the hands of a paperback.

Notice how I haven't updated in awhile?
It’s because it’s Winter Break and I’ve been out—doing things.

I just keep asking myself:
“Why don’t you own a history of German verse yet?”

Last night, I threw my secondary literature off the bed and cuddled up with Seamus Heaney. I read the collection Death of a Naturalist (1966) and a few poems from Door into the Dark (1969). Needless to say, I slept well, and more eloquently.

Dodgeball was fun
Now it’s time to research my way through that mountain of books.

Dodgeball
This Thursday I managed to beat myself up quite a bit. Not only did I bruise my knee and jam my pinky finger (on my throwing hand), but I was also simultaneously elbowed in the head by a teammate and hit by a ball. The beer at the pub afterwards helped a bit, but my pinky is still swollen and a little purple. All in all, I still had a lot of fun. ‘Til next week!

I'm slowly becoming an expert in German literature...
Never saw that coming.

Symptom of Burn-Out?
It’s Friday night and I really just want to go to a Halloween party instead of sitting here with a Heineken reading about theories of translation in early German Romanticism.

The Ta-Ta Tournament. A Quest for Breasts. →
I was on a team called the Pro Motorboaters. As costumes are mandatory for the dodgeball tournaments, we all dressed in maritime fashion—complete with colored sunscreen on our noses. I also had a Sharpie tattoo of an anchor and a friend of mine brought a life jacket (not recommended, actually). We lost. Horribly. But it was still a lot of fun…to throw dodgeballs with nipples.

3 months of summer
and my students’ spelling goes out the window
Oct 22nd
Over the summer, my free time had free time. I had the desire to write and to paint, but every time I shook my aerosol can of brain, all that puffed out was air. Now, I’m four weeks into the new school year. I have piles of books to read and a dozen assignments to grade. Yet, what do I want to do when I get home? Write. I read how Borges translated other poets, more as a creative exercise...
