Hey everybody,
Alas, another acedemic update. I finished my first summer session - Issues in Literary and Cultural Theory - and just stared my second summer session today. I'm taking a Restoration/18th Cent. Brit. Lit. class with Dr. Candace Ward. We're reading some crazy texts (a woman claiming to give birth to rabbits, a "feminized male traveler," Dryden's great praises for the London fire of 1665, and stuff like Baubard's polemic poem against the slave). I'm also teaching a section of ENC1101. I have 17 freshmen in computer-equipped classroom. Ah, it's good to be back in technoland ...
I enjoyed doing a lot of reading, documentary viewing (like Scorsese's No Direction Home) and spending quality time with Katie last week. She's thinking very hard about coming with for Jesse's wedding on the 8th if she can finish some big projects and stay afloat with comprehensive exam studying. She's doing very well under the pressure, I'm proud of her.
Yes, so I will be up in VA on and around the 8th. Sadly, you all will be in NYC at that time from what I've heard - is this true?? Shakespeare in the park?
Okay, I need to look for some lane tickets for an August trip ...
Love to all.
