Obligatory Post

The Thanksgiving Break really threw me off. A week off of work doesn't leave one with the urge to get things off one's chest.

Work pretty much sucks, and as another coping strategy, I'm going to continue a quest that I began in high school: I'm going to memorize The Raven. I never forgot the first two stanzas, although I was working on those nearly ten years ago. It'll give me something to do and feel like I am embarking on some sort of scholarly pursuit.

It's sad when you are a teacher by trade and yet you do not feel such a scholarship gap in your life that you have to create your own intellectual rabbit trails.

Such is my life.
