Sad to say, I am no longer funny. Or rather, amusing. At least not at this time of night when I have just remembered to do the blog now that I have picked up kids from school and daycare and made dinner and unloaded the dishwasher and helped do the dictee and read Olivia the Pig stories and brushed teeth and hugged and kissed three kids goodnight. And I haven't even started the laundry yet! Not that I'm complaining; this is my life, and truth be told I love it, but my goal here is to give you a glimpse, a mere glimmer, into a world that is not your own, to in some small way explain my "other life" to you, so that when I forget the blog or seem a bit dazed, you will understand and cut me some slack and not make comments about how my not writing the blog stops you from doing your homework. Get it?
To recap in detail, but quickly because I am tired and want to go to bed, in today's class Stephanie gave an extension on the book $, so you can bring your $17 on Thursday if you like. We came to a consensus on the day for the next in-class analysis - that would be Monday, November 7th. Then you worked on the paragraph exercises, and then we began to read Ralph Waldo Emerson together. Hopefully by reading the text out loud and discussing it, I will help you transcend some of the impenetrable qualities of his writing to better pursue your "naturel" and achieve your preordained genius.
HOMEWORK: Complete the paragraph exercises (#1-6) on the photocopied handouts I gave you today in class. For exercise 6, you do not need to complete question C because it is cut off.
Goodnight; Sleep tight; Don't let the bedbugs bite.
Lorimey: picture of the furniture to be posted later. Sorry ... too tired.
