i had an interview for adelphi's honors college today...totally nerve-wracking. she kept asking me what i've read and what i've written about them. ugh. i was so tongue-tied at teh beginning...but i sort of got lucid and able to put idea together by the end, i guess.
haha -- my favorite part was when i told her we just finished heart of darkness...that i "read" it. (mistake) this was the first book i told her i had read, and i wasn't ready for the interrogation and delving into my ideas on the themes within the TEXT. she asked me what i thought of the beginning passages (which i SKIPPED CUZ THEY BORED ME SO MUCH)...well, they were interesting. oh god...that's probably the worst thing you can say, haha! she jsut went on and on about the beginning, and i just sort of hemmed and hawed. then i told her about my approach paper about the skulls...sort of pulled her away from the parts i didn't read to the ONLY ONE I DID. whew.
it was nice, though. we talked about anne sexton's poetry when i told her about my ca paper, she told me to read adrienne riche's work, too.
this is it. they took him off of everything saturday, and it's just a matter of time now. she says that he accepts it, that he knows his time. the only problem is...
that i haven't accepted it.
i hate death.
it's just so...stark, and final.
