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
3/14: good timing
...for the Homeric Hymns in the myth class. We've been in the difficult stretch before spring break, so the hymns have been a relief. There are a lot of interesting ideas to discuss without the reading being too difficult or taxing. Today was our last hymn, the Homeric Hymn to Hermes. I tried a different way of setting up the conversation, and I think it worked well. If someone had been observing today, they wouldn't have thought the students were as worn out as they are.
