Semester OVER! What should I do with my SUMMER VACATION? (evil laugh) |
|
Haaaaaaa Haaaaaa.... no work until August 29th.
SO, I'm headed for England for that Women Writers program for two weeks. And I wanted to teach an Artist's Way group all summer, but so far have one person interested.
"Oh Rhett, whatever shall I do?"
Besides the initial shots of tequila and dancing on tabletops (which seems to get old after a few weeks)....
Whatcha think?
Daquiris on the deck!

I still have a week left. Five finals next week!!!
When do you go to England? Are you a journalist or??? Sounds fun!
Anyway, my recommendations include:
Sleeping in late. Taking roadtrips. Drinking like a fish (OK, it does get old). Spending time in the sunshine!
Wait, sounds like my summer :)

2. Okay... secret of my success ----> I don't give finals. |
|
I figure I've stuffed my students with expertise and ideas, they've had tests, given reports, written a ZILLION papers.
What will one more 2 hour test (w/o using the actual writing process that I teach!) show me? Nah... how can I test in complete contradiction to what I've taught? No way.
So... my students are finito.
Meanwhile -- I'm a writer, so off I go to the UK.... to write. Currently working on yet another novel.
And... a road trip does sound tasty. Sunshine -- YES -- whenever the sun decides to shine again (w/warmth) in VT... I'll be the dudette in shades with a book or laptop and a glass of something imbibible (is that a word??)

6. Hey! I do like her -- a guilty beach-read pleasure. Title? |
|
Isn't she on #11? I'm assuming a Stephanie Plum? #10 wasn't her best, but I live in hope.
