Back from class – full of delight! I am so excited by the stuff we’re reading this semester – TOO excited – I need to calm down so I can go to sleep! Enter Monk’s Mead! The chamomile is making me feel a leetle calmer, and the apple and mango flavors, accompanied by the squeeze of honey I put in, are soothing and delicious. I am going to try and get to bed now!! :)

I want to see your reading list! I am in withdrawals because the library that is in walking distance from my house is closed for months for renovations – alas! But it is fun to drive downtown to the main library where they have lots more…
If you’d like to PM me your email address, I’ll attach a copy of the syllabus because it’s so lovely – she put all kinds of quotes in it, you can read about the projects we’re doing, etc – I think you’d appreciate it as a teacher as well as a reader :) We have a book list but we also have tons of e-reserves and articles. I’m so excited!!! We already have a short paper due monday! We have to choose a picture book that represents something about our selves, summarize it, and explain what it reveals about us.
Regarding Monday deadline take the advice my son gave me when I was beating my head on the keyboard over meeting word count on a writing project (and he was a very authoritative 6 years old at the time): “Just put in lots of adjectives and adverbs and stuff.”
It dawns on me I’ve probably told that story before. Now, not only do I see my son rolling his eyes for sharing it, I hear him warning me I’m turning into my mother by repeating myself…. (swigging a stiff drink of Ceylon and being quiet now :)
gmathis – it’s advice worth repeating! This is a wee paper so I think my wordy self will have plenty of adjectives and adverbs and stuff for this one :) :) :)
