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
5/3: everyone passed
My Greek students took their exam on Friday afternoon. It was a very comprehensive test--it needed to be. I finished grading it this evening, and not a single person failed the exam. Not only that, but every single one of them did fine work on the section of the test asking them to translate a passage of "real" Greek which they hadn't prepared in advance. A year-long adventure ends with success. I hope that they are pleased with the results of their hard work.

ReplyDeleteto know that there is a deeper truth and being granted the willingness to remain in the tension until it finds its expression, thankyou, thank you, thank you
ReplyDeleteOh, remaining in the tension can be so hard; I, too, am grateful for the willingness to stay "in there" until what comes forth comes forth.
ReplyDelete... and you are please as well because you have taught them well.
