I battled executives today, diversified my portfolio (seriously), managed $1.5 billion in potential construction, translated a poem in Yiddish, got totally fucking freaked out about HOW INSANE my next semester is going to be between my mega-intense super-legit poetry workshop and my seminar in translation (omg, 200 pages of reading a week and multiple translations and translator’s notes and maintaining syntax and structure and rhyme and meter and omg), I’m going to be in NJ every weekend this month for various reasons, and multiple men rose from the grave and started talking to me again.
Holy fucking giant glass of wine for dinner. Love you dudes.
GIRL HAVE YOU READ ‘AFTER BABEL’? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_Babel I just took it out of the uni library for like the fourth time and I’m determined to read it - they talked about it a ton in my comparative lit class last year and it sounds pretty relevant to my interests. BOOK CLUB BOOK CLUB BOOK CLUB (if you want).
PS. I had popcorn and a can of red bull for dinner - I think my body is about ready to finally. just. DIE.
UM THE FIRST THING ON MY SYLLABUS FOR MY TRANSLATION SEMINAR IS A QUOTE FROM AFTER BABEL. I’m pretty sure I’m going to up to my gills in reading for the semester (Celan?! Lorca?! IN THE ORIGINAL GERMAN/SPANISH?!) but I’m totally going to read it over the summer / between classes. If you get through it let me know how it is!!
I will get back 2 u. Or, you know, what is more likely is that I still won’t have read it by summer and we can just read it then, togethah.
Wait, do you know German/Spanish?! If not: how is that going to work! If yes: WHAT ARE YOU LIKE AN IMMORTAL OR SOMETHING HOW DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH!!!
