I have been grading for hours, but happily, I got the first essays from my online classes graded. I feel a bit brain dead, so let me just capture some snippets from the past day or two that I want to remember.
--This is the kind of week that makes me wonder what I might accomplish if I wasn't trying to accomplish so much. I've got a full-time teaching job, a part-time teaching job, a part-time pastor job, and my MDiv program.
--That said, I am coming up with interesting ideas. My English 102 classes are looking at works by Susan Glaspell that have plots that rely on a knowledge of quilting, which no one has these days. I woke up Tuesday morning thinking about a quilting bee that could be open to the whole school. Yesterday, I sent out this e-mail:
--I've been enjoying hot tea with a bit of warm milk and sometimes sugar. I still drink coffee in the morning, but I often switch to milky tea.
--I went to a bricks and mortar office supply store to buy paper and printer ink. Not special paper--basic paper for printing out the occasional document and my weekly sermons. Wow--paper has really increased in price since the last time I bought it. I got a special deal: 2 reams for $16. Wow.
--Here we are at the last day of the month. Let me check in on my 2025 goals:
--I have done a bit of strength training for 20 days this month. It may not have always been 10 minutes each time, but I came close.
--I did a lot more poetry writing. I finished 7 poems, along with a lot of shorter pieces in my sketchbook which I'm not sure how to count (5 of them).
--I've worked on sketching hands and faces. I'm impressed with what I can do if I pay attention. Hands are still harder for me than faces.
