1/31: many thoughts
A day of thinking: about the Iliad and the Odyssey, about philosophy and poverty (prompted by Chris' reading/thinking for one of his classes), about what it is to teach and learn an ancient non-spoken language, about moves people (in literature and in life) make to shore up their identity.
1/29: sun, sound, and remembering
Walking in the afternoon sun while listening to (and still very much enjoying) Wintersmith. And remembering that I saw an eagle on Friday afternoon.
1/27: sorting and straightening
No one came to my office hours this afternoon--which is kind of sad. But I used the time to do some organizing and clearing that really needed to happen. I'm glad I'll be returning to a tidier office on Monday morning.
1/26: starting and finishing
...the workday with Homer: the Odyssey in the morning, the Iliad in the evening.
1/25: unexpected
A spur-of-the-moment end-of-day conversation with a colleague. And we kept realizing that there was more we wanted to talk about together.
1/24: a few postcards
...written during quick breaks at work and dropped off at the post office on my way home. They were all for really nice people to whom I owed mail, and it felt good to be sending something their way.
