My Toil

I would like to meet the
Deity that decided that
I would spend my life
As a Sisyphus in
Purgatory, trying to be
Joyce, Kafka, Fitzgerald, Hemingway,
But not even coming close.

Not to mention
Bard, Dante, Vergil.

But no, I will futilely try
Until I die,
To be one of those guys,
And one cannot deny
That while I
Will write until my pen goes dry
And while I will barely get by
And the odds try to defy
That I may be esteemed so high
To be among those gods above the sky.

Going to Waltham

The college application process is completely over, and I will be attending Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. I suppose that I am pleased with this fact, but I am unsure of how this will impact my future as a writer/academic. Regardless, Brandeis is a decent good with a pretty good reputation, and I am hoping to make the most of the opporunity. Granted, there a few schools that I got rejected from that I do not think I will ever go over, and I am considering transfering to a top top school, but overally I am satisfied with Brandeis.

I am also working on an extended prose work, and I am considering posting some of the details. AP tests are over at the end of this week, so I will have more time to blog soon.
