Taking a shortcut to Main Street

I've been struggling to get Main Street read over the last several weeks, and it's not that it's a bad book; however, time has not allowed me to complete the required readings. As a matter of fact, I was speaking with some of my colleagues the other day, and I decided that I wouldn't read anything at all if I had that option. Reading for fun is no longer something that strikes me as enjoyable. It seems like an oxymoron. So it looks like Sparknotes may be the answer this week, since I will simply be too busy today to finish the other 400 pgs. First of all, I have a fantasy baseball draft at 2:00, I'm picking up two children, taking them to soccer practice, going home, watching Lost and Invasion, then I'll probably go to bed.

As you can tell, there's simply not time to get it all done today.

I sat in class last night, a little bored, so I wrote a lot of dark and angsty poetry which I do not have on me at the moment. I will post some of them shortly, though, along with a bit of other random misc. nonsense.

Yesterday on campus, the a/c went out (I understand that it's only February, but we are in Texas: Today it's supposed to be about 85 degrees), so I went outside before class and napped on the front steps of the building. Luckily, the students stomping to class helped me wake up early enough to be there on time.

More later . . .
