Pictures

I have about nine million pages of reading to do. It's all in Spanish and about either genocide or avant garde-poetry. Here's a sample of a translation of Trilce, a poem by César Vallejo that we're reading in my Literatura Latinoamericano II class:

Finished the heated afternoon;
your great bay and your clamor; the chat
with your exhausted mother
who offered us a tea full of evening.

Finally finished everything: the vacations,
Your obedience of hearts, your way
of demanding that I not go out.

It goes on like this for 150 pages. I think that explains pretty succinctly why I decided to make a shutterfly account. You can access the pictures here. I'll label more of them after I'm done. Or after I decide that one more page of impenetrable babble about night-flavored tea might turn me off books for life. Whichever comes first.

Love the photos. And if it is between labeling the photos and being turned off books for life, even I would say you should dodge your homework
