Who am I?

GSU requires an insane amount of paperwork. I am currently working on filling out my G.T.A. packet, which seems to be getting bigger each time I complete a form. The really fun part is that every single piece of paper asks me for all of my demographic information--the address I don't live at yet, the office phone number that I don't have yet, my entire educational history, and more transcripts. I am becoming more convinced that my Ph.D. may be in Paperwork, instead of Literature.

My favorite form so far is the "I am not a subversive person" form, which needed to be notarized.

Despite the redundancy of all the forms, or perhaps because of it, I have been pondering on the summation of my life and identity. It's amazing/disturbing to be continuously reducing my graduate work to one line that reads "VCU 2001-2003 MA English--Literature." What I really want to do is to construct bizarre and astonishing origami creations out of each page, or fill the envelope with glitter and silver stars, or answer each question in haiku. Since I'm not sure what GSU would make of that, I have limited myself to completing each form in azure ink.
