Yesterday, in between the horror of going to the Pentagon City mall, spending a lot of money on a computer, and coming hme and unnecessarily reinstalling the computer's hard drive (! I though those disks were something else), I fell in love with my MacBook. It has a webcam! I can take my picture right now, but I won't.
The other day I gave my students a new syllabus, for the fifth time this semester, and I told them I wanted to promise I wouldn't give them any more new syllabi, but I might break the promise. I want to make the same kind of promise to my blog. It seems like things just keep getting so busy. But I have blog friends I miss. Anyway, I know no one really cares that much-- it's just a part of my life that I really like. So I've been missing it.
As JW commented on my last post, though, you can't be perfect. I just get really stressed out by school, especially this English class. People spout theory and comments and I just don't know all that stuff. (And a lot of times, I don't want to know). It's a cool class, though, anyway. LV, we are reading books like Open Me Carefully: Emily Dickinson's Intimate Writings to Susan Huntington Dickinson, and Leaves of Grass, and William Carlos Williams's Patterson, and Hart Crane and Alicia Ostriker.
I have to do a post to the class's Blackboard discussion board every week, and I always get grouchy because I can't write on Blackboard like I do on my blog.
In conclusion, I would like to abruptly propose that we all go on strike for a three-day weekend. Is anyone with me?
P.S. Blogsspot's spell check won't work on this new computer, and all the little buttons for italics and such are gone. Does anyone know how to fix that?
