I’m Back

Hey everyone out there,

So I’ve been out. Combination of spring break and catching up on midterm work for classes. On top of that, I decided to give myself a bit of a mental break and have been reading a lot. I finished Middlesex, The Importance of Being Earnest, Pride and Prejudice, and A Farewell to Arms in the past week. But good news, I haven’t been neglecting poetry. I’m finishing up a reread of Marie Howe‘s new book: The Kingdom of Ordinary Time.

In the meantime, I thought I would share some of the unbelievable springtime growth that’s been happening around me. Namely, bluebonnets:

More posts soon to come.  Till then, take care and enjoy the springtime.

Aphorism Challenge – Week 5

With slight delay, here’s this weeks Aphorism Challenge.  With spring break and sxsw growing ever closer, crunch time is starting for most of my classes.  I’ll post when I can.  Without further ado, here’s the aphorism I picked for the past week.

Life is like an apple.  Sometimes it’s sweet, sometimes it’s sour.  But at the end of the day, you can’t resist taking a bite.
