ah so nice to have someone to start this together

English majors don’t care about good grammar. Written poetry isn’t even grammatically sound. They write how they want it. We just analyse.

Ft. This evening’s skies

I don’t know how to analyse poetry and this is concerning. Father. Teach me please. It falls under my degree. The comments on my essay are always “needs close reading” or “what is the significance”, to which I have no other response but ‘ I really don’t know how’

not here to excel

My faith is not cheap. I will be prepared because he’ll help me face my fears.

“I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

In a station of the metro

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;

Petals on a wet, black bough.

Now, what if they feedback on my grammar and writing? Any criticism on my writing is akin to criticising me. You’re judging me. ouch. What do I do when my work is so closely related to my being? Should I hide my true self away from those judging? Should I improve myself until my flaws are really to the minimal?

There is such a thing as analysing too much. I think there’s a limit to it. My brains are fried from thinking too much.

Tuesdays are a routine of attending the 11.30am class, attempting to join people for lunch, socialising with groups of people, then eating alone. Tuesdays are also days where R goes for class so I have time to myself. Today I studied French for the most part. Walked and bought pasta for dinner, had it in my own room. Slacked. BSF. Slacked. Slacked slacked. It’s 1am. Goodnight

Assuage: make less severe. Assuage my fears of the unknown

Dictum: authoritative announcement. We await Lawerence Wong’s dictum

Taciturn: uncommunicative. My grandfather is a taciturn man. If I ever stay quiet, I would be called silent, not taciturn because I am temperamentally talkative.

Unsullied: not dirty or tarnished. Unsullied reputation, unsullied till marriage (stay pure).
