Indefinite Articles, Lip Gloss, Epic Poetry
Indefinite articles, lip gloss, and epic poetry.
Well, I think I can say that today was just a complete waste. I worked with two kids, both ESOL. I'm not really good at explaining grammar in non-technical terms, but I think we worked through it okay. Explaining articles to Asian writers is extremely difficult, and basically it just comes down to practice makes perfect.
Other than that, my colleagues and I basically goofed off all afternoon. I accomplished absolutely nothing. The tendency for laughing uncontrollably is something that apparently most English graduate students have in common. I still have 200 pages of Spenser to read, and I still have a book to read for pedagogy tomorrow. Great.
I feel like I'm chronically behind on everything. I'm not sure if I really am, but I always feel rushed and I'm always exhausted by the end of the day. I'm already dreading being there until 7 tomorrow. This nasty weather doesn't help. It looks like February or late November. It's just really icky.
In any case, I'm going to go get some thai food and come back home to get some work done, then I'm almost positive I'll be in bed by 1030.
