Q: What do I hate even more than doing 65 loads of laundry a week?
A: Not being able to do them.
Yes, once again, our "new" (four years old) dryer is broken, and thus I am laundry-less! It looks like we probably have to buy a whole new laundry pair, as they are called in the appliance biz, because the dryer is costing more to fix than it costs to get a new one. What life lessons are there for you in my troubles?
1. Technology ain't all it's cracked up to be - all the repair folk assure us that the older machines were better.
2. Sometimes older is better, which is kind of like number one, but not.
3. Once you are older, and it's coming, you'll see, you spend your weekends looking up washing machines and dryers on the Internet instead of whatever you're doing now.
If anyone is looking for a good used washing machine that still works well, get in touch. Maybe you need one for university ... who knows? Once you have to do all your own laundry, you will feel my pain!
As for the rest of my weekend, I have been feeling your pain. I have spent much of the weekend doing "homework". For the book I am working on now, I have to basically write all the answers to all the questions in an English anthology. So, I have done a lot of question answering, and now I am on to the marking of your work and the grade 8 poetry projects.
As for your HOMEWORK, make sure you are reading The Things They Carried (up to page 154 for tomorrow) and continuing to complete your research project.
Due dates: Project June 12th. Lates will not be accepted because of the tight timeline for year end reporting and because you are in grade 12 and graduating now! TTTC novel test is June 14th, and all novels must be handed in that day.
We are off to the library again tomorrow and Friday. We'll talk TTTC on Wednesday and Tuesday the 12th. Then ... that's it! We're almost down to the last blog.
Gotta go mark! See you tomorrow.
