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
3/16: a good day before break
Things have been tough and busy for quite some time now, but today felt different. I took a break mid-morning to get a coffee with Chris; read Gareth Hinds' graphic novel of the Odyssey during the Greek midterm (I'm teaching it in 2 weeks); designed a Latin course that would keep us doing Latin but not be frustrating while the students were preparing for papers and tests in other courses; got some good news about a committee I chaired; designed a flyer for next year's course offerings; worked with a student to make a prototype of her chapbook; did quiet writing. It was an upbeat way to move into spring break--which is different from the limping-my-way-toward-break that I was expecting.
