Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
10/18: an afternoon of latin
It's Saturday, and it's fall break--a perfect time to go into the office for some uninterrupted work. I spent five afternoon hours there today, working on arranging the second half of my Vulgate Latin course. I chose texts, wrote assignment sheets, typed up some commentary that might help the students, drew up schedules for them (and me), and copied CDs with manuscript images of the passages they'll be translating. It was a luxury to allow myself to get consumed by it all, to have such fun with teaching preparation and with Latin.
