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
11/8: a confectionary touchstone
Sometimes I get to know students through extra-curricular activities but never teach them in a class. There's one such student who has been abroad for the past two semesters. Today in the cafeteria I suddenly thought of her because the dessert on offer was a kind of cookie she really, really likes, and I remembered her telling me about them. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed our occasional interactions until the cookies jogged my memory. I hope she's having a great time abroad, and I'll look forward to seeing her next semester. In the meanwhile, it's nice to have such a sweet association for the cookies.
Hi, I'm Katrin from Germany. We've just met on Postcrossing (koenigkallewirsch61) and that's where I've got this link from. I do not understand everything you write but from now on I will have a look now and then. Right now (you're still sleeping, I suppose) it's early in the morning in Germany, kids are gone to school and I do enjoy the quiet house. This morning, after a weekend full of work, I will do exclusively things I like: drinking coffee, reading, learning Icelandic a.s.o.! I wish you a wonderful start in the new week, friendly people all around you, and lots of good moments and things. Katrin
