Television and Common Knowledge
been trying to get to this for a year or so, but even though it's an e-book, I never think to "read" on the computer....
It's a sad day. I cannot believe this Alfred E. Neuman of a guy is gonna be our president again for 4 more years. What is this country coming to? It is SO depressing! At least PA was not a guilty party. That's one consolation. I moaned and groaned about our fate for about 45 minutes today with Nick at the art store. Man, oh man. I can't stop shaking my head. What fools these mortals be!
It's been quite a while since I posted on here. I guess that's because October is always such a hectic month for school, with papers flooding in, presentations to give, deadlines to meet, etc. Plus, I've set up my students' blogs at http://writinghomeworkblog.typepad.com and have been keeping busy with that. Last week I gave a presentation to the Share NW school librarians biannual (does that mean it meets twice a year) meeting/conference about plagiarism, and I hope it went well. The person who asked me said it did, and it seemed to be received well, but what I said was, well, rather controversial, I guess. Then 2 weeks ago, I had to go to Georgia for a similar presentation, and this week I need to edit my book further! Whew! Plus, I need to write this letter/form for Finx's scholarship applicants, plan my texts for spring, grade papers (ALWAYS), get my promo packet together (if I am actually going to bite the bullet and apply, still not sure but only have a few more days to decide), organize student evaluations, ......and man, I'm gettin' tired just thinking of all I need to get to.
Meanwhile, I sure hope they don't end up electing that dumbbell Bush again. But that's a whole other can of worms.
I think I'm going to skip the March conference this year in San Francisco. Conferences are getting me more tired now than they used to, plus, I don't think I can afford it. It'll be a relief not to get behind in school work if I don't go.
Oh well, I'll sign off and drive home. Gotta pick up another book on tape. Wish I could blog while driving.....I guess I could if I took time to tinker with my phone, train it....oh, I'd rather listen to a mystery instead anyway.
