life of a georgia Artist

So I have the more amazing professors at university. They talk in class about things on the syllabus, but after class, or before, they will talk to me about playwrights and poets and writings other than those that apply to the class. One such professor turned me onto loving Irish poets. In a recent used book sale I got a book called, " Irelands Love Poems" for $3.00.In my modern drama class one of the persons we speak of is Oscar Wilde. Now I admit I knew a smidge about him,, a very small smidge before this class, but guess who wrote a poem and is published in my new Poem book. Oscar Wilde.

Happy February to you all. I am up late as im studying my français and determined to get it or at least get what I don't get hahahah. I wanted to check in and see how the years going for you. Mine is smeh!! (bad), but you know,could be worse. Im trucking along ever so slowly. The cold is almost done here in GA. Maybe another month then it will be warmer and full of yellow pollen blowing by. I am really enjoying my classes this semester. Each brings with it new challenges and new possibilités. This is the first semester, that on the first day of classes, I felt I belonged and I knew what professors were talking about. Usually first days I think oh lord this is now where I belong. I am getting into my upper English classes and are really enjoying them. Tons of papers to write,sonnets to pick apart and poems to write. For the first time I feel like I belong in class,that I can contribute and I understand all the terms my professors are using. Thank you to all my professors that I had ...
