Another semester down and done - can it be 2014 on the way?

Hello dear you!

Yes.  Here in the Panhandle, I wrapped up a full fall semester at the new college -- composition, American Literature, and some sort of strange reading-prep course (which was peopled with many adorable types who really didn't need remediation).   This is another show closed (until spring semester gives me another gig and gaggle of students) and it featured:  bad girls who fought each other Jerry Springer style in class, literature students who didn't find it necessary to read the texts, formidable paper writers among the "let me pass this course" crew, and a generally surprising success rate.  According to me.   I may or may not be teaching this coming spring -- enrollments and the usual factors to be considered-- so I press on to the 2014 project.  Any suggestions there?



Today's posting photo:

  Yes, I am one of those shoppers who randomly purchased something at Target between Nov. 27 and now.  And yes, that puts a target on me for identity theft etc. since the newsworthy break occurred.  Something like 40 million shoppers got their card numbers (both credit and debit) hacked.     I have no concrete news of strange transactions, but I am screaming with my 40 million friends:   OH HELL NO!!!!!

Bad time of year to be checking your accounts every three seconds.

Tra la.

Seeing Mom for Christmas, in her Rehab-hospital world.

And then, the New Year here in Beach World.  The theme for 2014:  the year of inappropriate behavior.  Why not inspire something out of my current busy-survival-but-chilled-out mode.

Continue the struggle :)
