what do i really want?
i want
a MA in Pop Culture Studies
a MA in Poetry
a MFA in Poetry

I don't want some custom program that rolls all of the above into one
I want dedicated time to think and explore and work my brain into those directions
I want to study poetry so that I can have the base core of knowledge around the writing i love the most.
A base core of knowledge that I have always managed to get away with not fully learning in the classes I have taken that only gloss over poetry as part of creative writing. I want to study form, and poets, and know writing, and the history and intersections and writing movements and and and.
I want to study my own work. How to craft. Revise. Push myself. Analyze what I am trying to say, the how and why of saying it. Really dig in to the craft of it.

These degrees, this time, this debt, would only be to feed my heart. There is no economic impact that I could rely on from this study except debt. And yet my heart wants it. I don't even know where I would want to go. But when I look at what I want in my life. I want this. I want it sooner then later so that the thoughts and time and words that this study will breed starts sooner than later.

and yet.

wholly impractical.
