Another Day Another Dollar

Well, it's been over a year since I last posted anything, but I think it would be fun to keep blogging... This is my second year teaching in the US, and I think it took me, like 11 months to get over that whole Ecuador experience. For better or worse. I'm going to start off as if I'd been updating, because one thing that always gets me down about blogging, or keeping a diary or anything is that, if you miss a month, or a year, or two (!) then I feel like I have to update the important details of my life. I don't feel like it.

Right now I'm on my prep, and taking a short, but necessary break from grading papers! Actually it's my fault- I should have had them all graded, and I KIND of told the kids that I'd graded them all, and there were still 25 or so that I haven't finished up. They're good, though. We read "The Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock" and analyzed how Eliot's use of figurative language reveals Prufrock's character. I enjoy reading short, well-supported essays.

I am somewhat dreading the rest of the day. Between 4 more classes, grading, attitudes, and then play rehearsal (Which is getting deadlier and deadlier) I am hoping to have the energy to take care of it. Oh man.
