SLAM!

In the midst of teaching Shakespeare's Julius Caesar to my freshmen students. I'm aiming to possibly completing Caesar the Friday right before Memorial Day. That's two weeks or 10 school days. 

I want to try and squeeze a third literary text before the last day of classes on June 13th. I'm leaning towards the Chocolate War. It's quite the predicament I am trying to get into. Insane, right? 

I'm reading Nick Hornby's Slam for pleasure. It's good. British first person narrative works well. Hornby's definitely got a talent for writing male confessional lit. The guy is good. 

I'm also playing Skate on PS3. It's good but it takes some getting used to. I have the Tony Hawk's  Pro Skater game controls so imbedded in my brain that I just assumed Skate's control scheme is the same. It's not though. Not in any way. 

So it goes. Five weeks of classes left then two weeks of Regents exams and grading and then It's summer. Since beginning college, I have developed a real sense of how fast time flies. It's almost a year since I graduated college. It sure doesn't feel like it's been a year though. Simply mind boggling. 

So it goes though. So it goes.
