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
4/29: long but successful
My afternoon and evening, that is. I had to keep the Myth classes to a tight schedule so that we could touch on all the day's topics. It's the end of the semester, so there's no time for later follow-up if something is left hanging. I managed to do a decent job of setting up questions/activities that were clear enough, scalable enough, and thought-provoking enough. And then a student gave a presentation on their research project, and so many people came that we had to move to a bigger room. The student did a good job, and the audience seemed pleased. When I got home, I had to do some frustrating (and unexpected work) on some advising issues, and it delayed me from starting in on my own work. But once I did, I got a full draft written of the final writing prompts for the Myth class. I closed up shop much later than usual, but I think it was worth it.
