I'm sitting in my poetry class


and I can't decide if I should drop it.
My teacher is clearly crazyish.

Her class will be super hard.

BUUUUT, I WANT TO TAKE THIS CLASS.
This class is writing and studying contemporary poetry.
I want to read the books that we have to buy. I want to write poetry and have it be critiqued, because I am good at reading poetry, but I'm not very good at writing poetry.
I love to read poetry, and I love to write it, but this class seems to go beyond what is okay, or sane.
Sane at all.
Crazy.
I think after I check out my Hemmingway class that I will choose between them, and decide which class will be harder and which teacher is more crazy.

Also, that is a picture of Mary Oliver, one of my favorite contemporary poets.
