Currently Reading: The
Nether World by George Gissing
I received confirmation of my classes for next term. I’ll be
teaching advanced reading, writing and a vocabulary elective. These are exactly
the classes I wanted, and I have more than a month to organize materials,
review new resources, create lesson plans, and take care of some administrative
details. So, this morning I began as follows: get darling daughter off to
school, return home, make tea, start up Mac, clean stove top, read Facebook
updates, look for advanced reading binder (unsuccessful), try on new pants –
fit!, eat rye toast with peanut butter, put pajama pants back on, read email
(check links to MTF Price Matters Flyer, Banana Republic, and Coudal Partners),
tidy up stuffed animals, take photo of self with Mac Photo Booth, edit
blemishes from photo, email photo to
friend for feedback, wait for feedback, post photo on Match.com, rearrange
mantle décor, shower, tweeze, put nice pants back on while watching Restaurant Impossible, google ‘Kermit
origins’ and read Wikipedia entry, fetch
mail, read Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue, and pick up my daughter from school.
Time wasted: Approximately 5 hours
Work Accomplished: None
Plan of Action for Tomorrow: Proceed directly to university
office and locate advanced reading binder, and try to do it without being
distracted by pants, grease, or knick knacks.
