Teaching was fun today. I handed back papers & was a bit nervous about that. What if the people who made a D+ were terribly upset? It seemed okay though and I am sure they can do better with more attention and effort...
We broke into groups & I went around and talked to everyone - for the "process writing" brainstorm. I think it went well.
My virtue of improvisation is also a flaw. Flexibility, but uncertainty.
Next week, more process writing and then a summary day to look back at what we've done and what we know. The week after that, I'm hoping for computer lab time to do blogging (we'll sign on and make accounts, do a one-sentence test post, and then a writing exercise online, posted, & then another exercise to comment on other people's posts.) I'll go to sxswi then for a week - And March 14 class starts up again with the unit on research & argumentation.
A lot of physical pain today. I had a long nap in the afternoon. The winter is definitely getting to me and my joints aren't happy. My whole left leg, foot, hip, etc were fucked up today. My knee is swollen and starting to make grinding noises. I need to get on celebrex as quick as possible. Allergies are bad too.
