Aequitas
Finally saw Boondock Saints - thought provoking tale well told - plus irish accents, and nostalgoc Boston local
ah, southie
not much to report -
low key day
went awalkin in the cold - and saw some birds (an osprey was the most exciting, course I can't actually definitly confirm it was an osprey, only most likley candidate
hitting a low for the day - trying to rally before bed time - emotions are quite the interesting ... or maybe moods, or maybe state of mind - language falling short here, as it so often does.
having difficulty focusing to read, so, that slows the redirect a bit
i am trying a very philosphic topic of discussion in class tomorrow. it strikes me a philosophic, not quite philosophy, but with pontificate tendency
my hope is to lead the students in a reflect by answering these prompts to self, then facilitate a large group discussion based on what i had them reflect on - course these are the same students who frequently do not do the assigned readings (or papers, or...) so I wonder and the depth and breadth of the discussion. If i can't open mental pahtways, that alone will be worth the effort, i hope. We shall see how I feel after the endeavor.
Sometimes i think i am spot on as a lecturer - other days i wonder how the hell did i score this gig and when are they going to you the shepard hook to yank me off stage, or beat the gong. Is it normal to regularly have such profound self-doubt? I doubt it.
