My demanding public is clamoring for a post. I feel like a rock star (Where's the new album?) or a serial novelist (What's going to happen to Araphashel and the magic Coat Hanger?) Actually, I am none of these things. I am, instead, a lowly student who is about to finish up his last day of class. So, needless to say, I am very busy.
Today I read my students a brief, blatantly ideological piece I had written as a "send off" for their next four years of college. I was stressing the different interpretations of a college education and then offering my personal interpretation as a challenge. Some parts were obviously cheese-ball. But I guess that's ok. I think I'm starting a tradition with this one; it might be a cool thing to end each course with a brief essay written specifically to that class. Sure, some things may sound the same, and it probably has a "graduation speech" feel, but it was also kind of cool.
In other news, I turned in my first seminar paper. That was scary. But I feel ok about it.
Also, Capria and I are going to see Iron and Wine on Sunday night. (Andrew, are you interested in coming with us? Tix are $15. I got mine at Rudy's here on the Ave. It's at some club in Capitol Hill . . . ) So that should be very cool.
OK, I'm going to do other things. I'll try to post more regularly, I promise.
