20.04.21 / found an antique shop on my way to the bookstore yesterday. everything that needed to get done most certainly did not get done but I still made progress, and that still holds as much merit regardless of pace or outcome. i just have to try again today. hope you have a lovely week ahead. take care ♡

I’ve been so over the moon for the last week because I found out I got into my top choice master’s program! One step closer to becoming a Latin teacher :)

Went to the opera this week! Big fan of Sarah Ruhl’s work in general, and I can’t wait to see the play version when my school does a production later this spring.

you may have seen achilles in his miserable blanket burrito but have you seen odysseus Sitting Like That while appealing to achilles in his miserable blanket burrito

achilles looking all "make him stop make him stop make him stop"

it's so great that in greek tragedy there are only three paradigms for a woman leaving her house (her wedding, her funeral, and maenadic rites) and they're all kind of the same thing also

Seneca: It’s much more manly to be dry and sober while the rabble are drunk and vomiting, and it shows your control over yourself if you don’t excuse yourself from festivities or stand out from the others while not blending in with them, and doing the same things they are doing but in a different way; since it’s perfectly fine to party without extravagance

Me, drinking a mimosa on a Sunday afternoon while doing my Latin homework: yeah for sure dude

so don’t get me wrong because a lot of arthurian stuff is super misogynistic. but it’s never really in the damsel in distress way you expect. like the most helpless damsel is lancelot trapped and crying in a tower, completely useless, until this random girl who made him behead a guy in front of her fifty pages ago rolls up with a pickax and rope and is like “ok I’m minecrafting you out of here.” and this works.

I have been so bad at posting on here consistently but I took these pictures while visiting my cousin in Philly this weekend and they were too pretty to not share!! If any of you are in the area and like old books, I highly recommend touring the Rosenbach Museum and Library. Full of old books, from Cicero to Cervantes to Lewis Carroll to Dickinson to Joyce. The second picture is a recreation of Marianne Moore’s living room. She was the editor of the Dial, a poet in her own right, and a friend and mentor to many literary figures of the 20th century, like Elizabeth Bishop and Allen Ginsberg.
