The Poetics of an Odd (wo) Man out

I never thought that fixing graduate school requirements will be sooo 'toxic'. There are just so many things to do: getting a copy of your TOR, look for professors who will do the recommendation letters, xerox this and that, go to former school, deal with menopausal staff and do the recommendation letters yourself.(and I'm not even in gradskul yet.. .. GRRR)

Even though the whole experience is time-consuming and tiresome, I felt glad (in some ways) because fixing these help me reconnect to a certain part in my past: college days. It also awaken my interest to study again by just meeting my professors.
