a small collection of things my lecturers said/did this year

• “you didn’t really get off on yeats, did you?“ 
• “just google it on the internet" 
• reading out a six stanza ballad and explaining every line

• “L… G… i can never remember what comes next”

• tearing up while reading an auden poem aloud
• an american lecturer: “it reminds me of a snow globe. you guys have those here, right?”
• asking me if i have a catholic background due to my in depth knowledge of purgatory
• upon asking a question and getting no answer: “you know, i get paid a salary. i can stand here doing nothing and still get paid”
• “this girl from shakespeare’s time probably doesn’t want anything to do with the men because she’s a lesbian”

• “i’m sick, i’m really sick. so if i die, that’s that. very appropriate for a gothic literature class" 

• “whatever language you young people use these days to talk about giving each other blowjobs” 

• “those of you who are my age or older may remember something called the cold war”

• “you’re in the court, a king’s there, he looks better than you because he’s a luxurious god”

• “this is what what us academics do, we have no lives and we hate ourselves, so we go to academic parties and hate each other”

• “cato the younger commits suicide, which is good for everybody”

• “my own view–and i’m always astonished that this isn’t everyone’s view–”

• “people don’t really like being slapped around… i mean some people do, but most people don’t like it”

• on exams: “don’t pull out your notes and start thumbing through those, that looks suspicious”
• “diomedes announces ‘i have come too late’ 

  – there’s blood everywhere, a sword’s sticking out of antony’s body, diomedes is a perceptive guy”

• “because the best way to cure a hangover is to kill yourself apparently”

Life really isn’t what I expected it to be

less quicksand

almost no quicksand to be honest

lots of metaphorical quicksand tho

bpd-entity:

it’s not a real party until you sneak away to the bathroom to question your existence as you stare at yourself in the mirror haha

fabulusly:

i hate it when songs are 2:59 seconds long like you’re telling me you couldn’t hold a note for one more second

being a maladaptive daydreamer and getting into a new fandom is a wild ride bc ur entire mental world just kinda shifts into completely different territory
