Educational workshops and beer

To recap the latter half of the week, I showed Lost in the classroom as a visual bridge to Golding's Lord of the Flies. I'm excited and I managed to get 45 of my students hooked on Lost. I renewed my interest in the show. Everyone wins!

Went to an educational "code switching" workshop/conference yesterday afternoon...yawn. Afterwards I hit up TGIFridays and then a bar called Ulysses off the financial district. The bar was totally awesome. It had the whole Irish Pub theme going with a framed photo portrait of our most drunk president, Ulysses Grant. WOOOO! 

Left the bar 'round midnight but I missed my LIRR train home so I had to hang around Penn Station for about the time that it would take me to watch Monster Squad. 

Simone's birthday dinner/bash thing is tonight. Need to finish her mixtape and then it's onward to a few more pints of Guinness. 

Workshop tomorrow morning, ugh. It's the penultimate one though.
