bearshortyI did wake up at 6 and graded six papers by 8:10 when I had to get up. Somehow I can focus more grading in bed that early in the morning. That class is done. New papers coming in on Friday. Plus I need to start grading Gilgamesh papers for history. Grading never gets done.
Since I’ve been teaching writing for a long time now, today I realized just how comfortable I am teaching this course. I feel like I can explain things better and really teach them something. This class is second nature now. Grading is annoying but I like the class itself. My actor kid, who already missed 5 classes (and this is his third try at the class), finally showed up today and turned in the first paper. I don’t know if he’ll make it, he can’t miss another class – I really thought he gave up. Fingers crossed he can manage.
I got the local jury duty notice yesterday in the mail – my name just keeps cropping up. I copied my letter from Federal Court – I don’t have to serve for four years.
One thing I do like about Netflix online other than TV shows is the lots of independent movies or movies I would never have heard of otherwise. I’ve watching lots of small but interesting movies lately (and lots about father – son relationships for some reason – I just realized this pattern right as I type). So as much as I grumble about Netflix and despite the fact that I will probably drop the DVD option, I will be keeping their streaming.
