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
5/6: things done
I did a variety of things today: I proctored the Latin final, reading Myth essays while the students took their Latin test; I spent my remaining free "dining dollars" in the campus snack shop (I bought lots of little bags of potato chips!); I drove across town to get a book from storage to loan to a colleague who is going to read it out loud with his daughter; I did some grading and grade-calculating; I met with a student; I wrote some emails; I talked with my mother about visiting Pennsylvania this summer; I tinkered with a pamphlet. Sometimes I don't like the random texture of these exam-period days (with no classroom teaching yet plenty of stuff to do), but today it felt fine, maybe even good.
