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
12/23: experiment over
This past semester I taught an Introduction to Gender Studies course for the first--and probably only--time. I decided in mid-2009 that I would be teaching it, so it's been on my mind ever since then. I lived with thoughts about what to teach and how to structure the course, and then I finally got to put those thoughts into action. I finished grading the students' last assignments today, and I'm pleased with how the course went. It wasn't always easy to teach what can be such a charged subject, but I think I can count the experiment as successful, for both me and the students.
12/23: My good thing today came from the postman: a postcard from the USA, a blue one, with Christmas wishes and some nice words from you, Rebecca.
ReplyDeleteI wish you and Chris a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, greetings from Holland, Willemina.
my good thing of this day was a beautiful card from you! So, as I read the comment of my fellow dutchie, I see that you made at least two people (across the ocean) happy today!!!
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
