Nothing humbles you more than hearing your students say, "You were born in the late 1900s??" #95baby

The rumors are true. It actually takes 2 hours to get to Atlanta from Atlanta.

My dissertation adviser is a saint because he read my dumpster fire of a conference abstract, and he took the time to give me feedback.

I was so tired that I forgot Robert Browning's name and referred to him as "Elizabeth Barrett Browning's husband." That's how my week is going.

I thought the Macbook spinning wheel of death was the worst, but getting stuck at the Middle English Compendium page (10 days before your 2-page paper is due) takes the cake.

On the train ride home, I laughed because I didn't expect to see this in a book on Paradise Lost.

I love being a student because I just learned there's another way of pronouncing Aeschylus that wasn't "iːskləs" or "ɛskiləs"

13 years ago today, I was a community college student, who didn't plan to go to college, and today I'm somehow a second-year Ph.D. student. (I'm eternally grateful for my education.)

Tfw you love a poem so much that it inspires you to create a major assignment for your composition 2 class.

Send good thoughts to my wonderful Renaissance literature professor because I'm going to refer to Richard III as Richie Rich in class discussions. #thisisajoke

I've reached the copyedit phase for my first publication and I'm still in denial (and extremely grateful).

I'm finally reading "The Canterbury Tales" and I can't believe I've deprived myself of this joy.

One day, I'll write a paper the proper way instead of writing it like a feral ADHD squirrel 🥲

I decided to revisit Victorian Poetry notes before reading Aurora Leigh again, and I found this gem of a comment: "Tennyson is not okay."

Yeah, the Roman Forum is cool and all, but have you ever driven through the Tappan Zee bridge during rush hour?

Taylor Swift? Olivia Rodrigo? Nope, I'm listening an MP3 of Chaucer's "The Former Age" on repeat.

"criticizing AI use in journalism or other creative industries is classist" NO IT IS NOT there is a class that benefits enormously from cognitive surrender, epistemic warfare, and the enclosure of all hitherto produced culture and it is NOT THE WORKING CLASS

A 359-year-old poem by a dead white man? Good thing I've NEVER gotten over anything in my life.

There is a pile of books against a white sheet: two copies of Paradise Lost and three academic books on John Milton.

If donate to my alma mater, I might get a water bottle sleeve in the mail. What a time to be alive in this body, in this timeline.

Never settle, y'all. My best friend's spouse drove through Atlanta traffic because she left her Literary Theory textbook at home, and he wanted to make sure she had it for class that night.

You know it's finals season when you start deep cleaning your house in NJ instead of completing the last 2 pages of your Shakespeare final.

No words can describe how much I dislike Brightspace D2L, the LMS at my current institution. What do you mean I have to click an additional button to submit this paper?

Will I finish this 8-page paper on Hamlet and disability by Wednesday? Who knows? (Shout out to my grad school adviser for recommending Richard Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy because I was struggling)
