We Shall All Be Healed
hello, it's me
Everyone around me seems to be helpless right now. Everyone I care about (including myself) seems to have a plethora of problems, some worse than others. These last couple weeks are killing me.
The worst part about being here isn't the repetitiveness of the days, it's the lack of trust I have with everyone here. There's probably one person here that I actually trust. I'm tired of the joking around with the other guys. I have a pretty thick skin, but it gets old sometimes.
The one class I thought I had wrapped up, English, has come crashing down the last couple days. The in-class essay I did today, well, I was unsatisfied. I have a chance to re-do it Wednesday, but I really don't feel like it. My portfolio is also due Wednesday. The one essay I need to turn in for it -- well, my professor completely destroyed one of my main arguments. I don't even know how to revise this fucking thing.
I need to have previous copies of other essays (which I can't find), and the portfolio is a damn good part of my grade. I was convinced I was getting the 4.0 in the class, now I'll probably end up with an A-minus, which is a 3.33. And when I might fail Human Biology, that matters.
Econ and Pol. Science are going okay. Should get A's and B's in those classes, respectively.
Oh yeah, I broke part of the wire on my retainer, and I can't seem to get a job for when I go back home. I have $0 left on my meal card.
The only good part about this stupid week is the big $10 poker game we're doing Thursday night (Friday we have off, it's a "study day"). Should have about 16 people, with 3rd getting money back, 2nd a little more, and 1st taking a hefty prize.
I'm ready for this semester to end.

I'm Kevin. I attend
Buffalo State College in The Empire State. I'm your normal teenager who's secure enough in his masculinity to do things some people may find a little
odd. My turn-ons include long walks on the beach, poetry, and percussion.
I enjoy the music stylings of (but NEVER limited to) Morrissey, Coheed and Cambria, The Marleys (bob to ziggy), The Heptones, The Toasters, Pietasters, Queen, Luciano, Junior Murvin, NOFX, Mountain Goats, Rufus Wainwright, Death by Stereo, Passion Worship Band, Switchfoot, Five Iron Frenzy, The Darkness, CSNY, Virginia Coalition, Alexisonfire, Hopesfall, Buju Banton, Bounty Killer, MF Doom, RJD2, Kool Keith, Aesop Rock, DJ Shadow, King Geedorah, Why?, Bright Eyes, Wilco, Tom Waits, Talib Kweli, Neva Dinova, Beastie Boys, and even Jay-Z.
I enjoy reading The Bible, Dan Brown, CS Lewis, John Steinbeck (favorite author), Dean Koontz, Stephen King, and Eugene Peterson.
I'm an avid poet (not so much anymore) and reader of poetry. My favorite poets are Stanley Kunitz, Alan Ginsberg, Tuli Kupferberg, Bret Hubinger (AACC Professor!), Walt Whitman, and Edward Thomas.
