11/8: talking about Apocalypse
...with my Greek students and how some of its language works in a literary way.
11/7: being lucky
...that today was a day when I only had to sit in the audience of my co-taught freshman class. My friend was teaching today because I had taught on Friday, and all I had to do today was take note of who participated. I'm very under the weather, so not having to be "on" in front of the class was a welcome thing.
And when I got home, I was greeted by a wonderful smell of lemon and mint. Chris had used Aunt Fannie's Carpet Refresher in the bedroom, and the effect lifted my spirits (and senses).
11/6: being unexpectedly and really moved
...by Sarah M. Eden's Romancing Daphne and its representation of the continuing echoes of a difficult childhood.
11/5: calling
...a friend whom I hadn't spoken with in some time. She was asking for some particular advice, but we also just talked about general things, and it was nice to fall into our usual rhythms of conversation.
11/4: talking about
...Antigone with both sections of the freshman course I co-teach. We all met together in the theatre for class, and it's a stage I really like being on. Something about it just feels good. The conversation felt good too. And I got to see the students who had worked with me in September but who had then been working with my co-teacher for October. Many of them were very sweet to me, and one even said that she had worn a vest today because I often wear sweater vests.
11/2: grading
...tests and writing assignments for my Greek class more quickly and smoothly than I had anticipated.
