Too Cool for School

Lairin and I were gchatting today (as we do) and we really hashed a lot of great stuff out. I feel like if we were in the UN, in some capacity, a lot of shit would get done. And by "shit" I mean "existential ramblings about nothing." Allow me to set the stage, Lairin is in the midst of applying to MFA programs:

Lairin: oh god UT Austin wants my "hours earned"

for college

I DON'T FUCKING KNOW

Kleine: what?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Lairin: use units like the rest of the civilized world!!!!!

Kleine: you should just write

"suck it, trebek"

they'd be like "WOW SUBVERSIVE, GREAT REF, SHE'S IN"

Lairin: YES

I think they mean GPA?

or units

IT IS NOT CLEAR

Kleine: would infinity be an appropriate response?

i think it could work for all of them

because

you want to continue school

so, infinite units

Lairin: FOREVER

Kleine: EXACTEMENT

OH NORTON

HOW I MISS YOUR GIRTH

(that's gross)

((didn't realize that gross double entendre till it was too late))

Lairin: I just spat coffee onto myself

Man, Bitches love Norton.

Sigh

Ok I really suck at blogging, clearly. I'm finishing a book of poems for my MFA program. The final draft is due next week. I vacillate between thinking I have to do a lot to accomplish this, and thinking I have to do little. Everyone tells me that I'll be working on this book for two years or something after I graduate. This is the last thing you want to hear when you have been living and breathing a project for almost 10 months. This is why I'm not a novelist (because they live and breathe projects for 10 YEARS). So it has been consuming my life, and will continue to consume my life until the end of the year, probably.

Anyway, so because I can't actually post something interesting, this just made me super happy today.
