Is this really my fourth post today? I don't remember. It's now coming on 6 and it's been about another 3 hours since my last entry. I'm still on the first page.
Just so you know.

What a waste of a day.....wow...haha

w.w. on the hillside
Would Walt Whitman be happy about me writing an essay on his work?
Because of you, but really because of myself, Whitman, I am unable to go to that empty bench on the white hilltop amongst the trees.
I am stuck with you, even though you claim to be connected to something beyond your written word.
I am stuck on you, and can't run and dance as I should. I must write of you, and me, and in being the "you" you describe attempt to connect and understand you through the text; through your text.
Curse you Whitman, you are dead, yet alive, and haunting me from beyond that window as I sit here writing of you, but not living as you live.

here again....
Ok so I'm back. It's currently 2.20pm, which is prob about 3 hrs from my previous post. *points down* I've written about 2 sentences for my essay. Woo. Shaw. If I don't hand it in for tomorrow I'll have to submit it to some sort of office to get a date stamp...sounds complicated and I don't want to. Goddammit I just need to start, just need to get a running start. Why are all the topics so complicated and yet so specific? How can I write five pages on the word "you"?
We'll see....
We'll see....
Another one....
No need to read this post - it's basically just me bitching about the topics that our prof gave us for an essay due tomorrow that I haven't even started. I can't do an essay unless it's presenting to me something that I can argue as a thesis. This one is strange, it's saying take diff. parts of the poem and analyze them individually. What does that mean? how exactly to I put that into a essay format?
That's all I have in me right now. We'll see how far this can go...
