The sun is shinning, there are still some green patches of grass, and the pond is not frozen solid. It does not look or feel like January. Is this because of climate change? Who knows. I just love sitting here in the sun writing in my blog for the first time in many months. Teaching first-year writing is frustrating, energizing, and demanding. The grading or assessing of the student writing can really become tedious, but I’ve learned to only do no more than six in one sitting. Six is the magic number otherwise I become very crabby and it shows in my comments.

Another semester, only this time I’m driving to a new campus. It takes about forty-five minutes, I think I’m going to start listening to books on tape. Maybe this weekend I will visit the library and see what I can find.

Enjoy the Sun!
