BODIES: Chapter 6

March 19, 2022 ~ thecrazedpoet ~ Leave a comment

Walking my suitcase to my dorm, I spied familiar faces scattered across campus, re-energized and ready to take on a brand new year and semester. Off in the distance was Alex’s girlfriend, so I took that to be confirmation that Alex was safely back on campus. Samantha came by to spend the last few days … Continue reading BODIES: Chapter 6

American History and a Hmong Girl

June 14, 2020June 15, 2020 ~ thecrazedpoet ~ Leave a comment

Learning American history as the daughter of Hmong immigrants, of refugees, and as a part of the very first generation of Hmong in America, I can tell you now, I have zero memory of the first African slaves to dock on American soil, stolen from the country of Angola, in all of the history I … Continue reading American History and a Hmong Girl

Coronavirus: The Frustration.

April 14, 2020April 14, 2020 ~ thecrazedpoet ~ Leave a comment

Every writer plots a critical moment of decision for their characters, and I guess, though I knew I wouldn’t be plotting my own, I anticipated it, a critical moment of decision for myself in my own life. Enter: Coronavirus, COVID-19.  “This is it. If not THE moment, A moment. So the decision I’m going to make … Continue reading Coronavirus: The Frustration.

Coronavirus: The Infection.

March 31, 2020April 1, 2020 ~ thecrazedpoet ~ Leave a comment

I know I’m about to sound insane, but I’m fairly certain I contracted COVID-19 in mid February, and on February 18, 2020, started to show evident symptoms of the virus. How do I know? I documented it. With random one liners and short entries to myself about my body's state. Did I know then I … Continue reading Coronavirus: The Infection.

Coronavirus: The Escalation.

March 20, 2020March 31, 2020 ~ thecrazedpoet ~ Leave a comment

It’s almost silly the shift in my life from a night, to a day, to a week ago. Literally, a week ago, I was planning my next steps, my next location, my next transition. Poof. Gone. In a matter of minutes. Update after update. Numbers after numbers. CORONAVIRUS. SERIOUS. BRACE YOURSELVES. What? As the whispers of … Continue reading Coronavirus: The Escalation.

BODIES: Chapter 5

March 17, 2019March 24, 2022 ~ thecrazedpoet ~ Leave a comment

 Instead of going home for Thanksgiving, I spent it on campus, working on projects for the science department. Somehow I managed to plant and nurture just the right relationships with peers and professors alike to become a trusted pupil of the department. Nathaniel and Ana were not thrilled about my campus break stay. Nathaniel: Wooooow … Continue reading BODIES: Chapter 5

BODIES: Chapter 4

March 10, 2019April 16, 2022 ~ thecrazedpoet ~ Leave a comment

Awake with festivities to finish the excruciatingly long month of October was the entire campus and all the blocks in between. I, on the other hand, laid in bed, scrolling news articles online and clicking in and out of sitcoms and documentaries. “Come out with me,” Margo tried for the hundredth time to persuade me … Continue reading BODIES: Chapter 4

BODIES: Chapter 3

February 16, 2019April 16, 2022 ~ thecrazedpoet ~ Leave a comment

 The entire campus exhaled as the first of many weeks of doom passed and most of us managed to come out unscathed. I passed all three of my exams and my papers awaited grading. In reflection, I was actually grateful for the week. When I thought I was at the very end of my capacity, … Continue reading BODIES: Chapter 3

BODIES: Chapter 2

February 6, 2019March 19, 2022 ~ thecrazedpoet ~ Leave a comment

Jubilation and expectation for the college career before me was… short lived. After a week of the college life, I was appalled by my reality. “What’d you expect?” said my roommate, Margo. “This is college.” I stared at her, wide eyed. I don’t know? Human decency? Lingering consciences? But the more I experienced the humans … Continue reading BODIES: Chapter 2
