Sorry I didn't post yesterday, but you should be proud of me. I was out celebrating St. Paddy's day instead of curled up at home blogging about it. I'll post a picture or two when I get home tonight.
I'm still at work, and I should be finishing my grading. But I'll tell you, having 9 classes all do the same assignment makes grading really, really boring. I just couldn't look at one more "Island Poster" and brochure. I only have 2 classes left to do, so I'll just take them tommorrow. Yes, it will be Saturday and we're being required to spend 10 hours of it doing unpaid work for "the company." I'm not happy about it, let's leave it at that. So I've decided that although I'm required to physically be there, I will take a variety of things to keep me occupied, so that I will at least be able to spend my mental time on Saturday as I please. Grading will be one diversion, as will reading my current book Reading Lolita in Tehran, a very thoughtful gift from my cousin M.
*****Disclaimer - Any complaints I have about my job are always about "the company" and not "the school." Almost everyday I leave work I think about how thankful I am for such a great school with wonderful co-workers, superiors, and students. Just thought I'd clarify.**********
Anyway, so instead of spending my last hour of the workweek grading, I thought I'd read some blogs, and reading Emerging Sideways linked me to Wes Roberts, who had a very interesting quote from Madeleine L'Engle as part of his post on the death of Stanley Grenz. Later tonight, I'll put in on this blog along with the thoughts it got me thinking. But right now I'm going home, because it's 4:41pm!
