Ok, so it's good that I'm finding good things happening in a row...and that I'm finding time to write a short snippet about my life after getting most important work out of the way. This morning in 19th century American we were finishing up with Whitman and going over passages basically about him touching himself, orgasming and then basking in the afterglow. We then had discussion about that and a lot of people were saying it was awkward and embarrassing and knowing me, I was loving it and felt it made Whitman more accessible to me. LOL. No, but I might write on him...also I think I kind of got over the awkwardness of hearing KL say "oral sex" because after we read the passages today he was just like, "What was Whitman ON when he wrote this????" It was great.
Also today, I had my tutorial with LT (I almost want to put her whole name in here but I am respecting privacy for once). Talking about my story took only like ten minutes and part 1 of goodness was that I used to be afraid of writing a story with sex or even swearing in it for her but I got over that and so she was talking about my story today, about one character and saying, "That bastard did this to her and ...!" It made me really happy. And then I asked her about the internships I'm applying for/about my future and she just gave me more insight into each of them and I'm going to make another advising appointment with her for Friday hopefully so we can talk about my future and publishing and so I can be on top of my shit. I just love LT, for realz. She keeps it real and I feel comfortable and happy and it was a good day.
