seethingblue's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- agenda The rain here stops by noon. I drag the large wooden-handled umbrella with me to class and never have to use it. One of these days I am going to buy a small portable one that fits neatly in my bag. Today I go to meet a professor. I have a list of books and articles to ask about. I am making up for all those patches in my education--the things I've never read. I am not well-read, I confesss. I am not being modest in the least. I like the television, leaving it on while I'm alone so the voices fill the room like real conversation. And today I go and teach another class. We're reading Huckleberry Finn. I've read it three or four times by now. Not enough, I think, to lead an entire discussion on the significance of cross-dressing. My overanalysis fills up the room and my students try hard to avoid eye contact. I will give them a quiz in a few days and they will secretly hate me. I have an ear infection too. Lovely stuff. And today is going to be a good day. 11:46 - 08 July, 2009 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
