Thursday is usually a long day for me because I have all five of my classes. Today my Lit of the Vietnam War class, which is actually turning out to be pretty good, was cancelled so I had a free hour and a half.
Right now the class that owns my soul is English 305. It’s pretty much an analysis of grammar and I do not understand it. English grammar is screwed up anyway and trying to understand it is like looking for meaning in a Pauly Shore movie (Thanks Clueless).

All the professors that teach 305 operate on this principle anyway without informing the students and those who are unfortunate enough to sign up for 305 without having taken 303 first are screwed. And guess who falls into that category? You got it. Little old Invisible Girl.

… Five (or you know, two) hours later I finish cleaning and then am too tired to study. So I put it off until the next day.
The next day, I realize that there is WAY more material here than is possible to cover in one night! So I frantically read all the while cursing myself for cleaning when clearly, that could have been put off another couple days.
So here we go! Before:

I don’t care how sappy it is, I LOVE IT! The poem is “Sonnets from the Portuguese” by Elizabeth Barret Browning.
Elizabeth Barret Browning is for lovers.
Here are some of my favorite passages (it is quite long):
