Grades got posted. "A" in Music in America and Sociology of Gender. "B" in Intro to Women Writer's. And "C" in Intro to Sociology and 400-level poetry. The last two grades are attributed entirely to absences. Who knows what it'll take for me to step up my game on that. I got wonderful reviews on all but one of my poems, but I easily missed a third or more of the classes. What explains that – laziness? bad sleeping habits? no motivation? the price of presence?

Imagine if all communication was written, meetings and exchange of information conducted only in text.
