1/24: reading at home

I usually spend the whole work-day at school because it keeps me focused, but this morning I had to read Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound and I decided to do that here at home before driving into campus.  I love that play, and today I got to read it in a new translation (and in my pajamas).

This evening I realized that I wouldn't be able to get all my work done if I stayed on campus to hear a lecture I was looking forward to.  I'm a bit bummed, but it did mean that I could finish my work the way I began it:  curled up in a comfortable chair reading.  This evening's reading was the second half of Marilyn Sachs' Fat Girl, a young-adult retelling of the Pygmalion story.  We'll be discussing it in one of my classes tomorrow.
