room K215

Just returned from a delicious dinner at Su Casa on Main St. with Sarah and Elina, my two favorite faculty members. Today was very hectic- STAR (the California standards test program) examinations were all morning and then all of the seniors rushed in after their mandatory meeting. Today, as I looked up at my classroom during a moment of relative calm and lucid thought, I realized that it is starting to feel a bit like home. ..included are some pictures of my space.


Tomorrow is the English department BBQ at Ray's house and then Friday is my departure to San Francisco for the long weekend. I cannot wait- Amy has the entire weekend planned, including shopping, dining, hiking in Muir Woods and probably meeting up with Letitia and her sister as she will be visiting the same weekend. In other news, I have joined a writers circle, which I have been assured is equally an opportunity to convene and drink wine. Some of my favorite people from the Fine Arts and English department will be meeting and sharing original writing over wine and cheese. It has been so long since I have sat down and seriously wrote, especially prose, so I am equally excited and apprehensive about the idea. I will probably include any writing here before I submit it fresh to the entire tenured faculty of my school. I had initially intended for this site to be a place to exercise my literary muscle but have found that I have regressed, as per my usual routine, into an obnoxious journal-like account of my daily banal existence.
