They never fail...

[A lot of catching-up posts to get through. Sorry about that. It's been a strange week...this stupid tooth thing is really cramping my style.]

10 June 2014: The summer schedule means that I have to cover a lot of material each day in class. Tuesday brought us to Dickinson and Whitman. It's a bit overwhelming and exhausting to cover them both on one day (and no, it isn't even close to actual "covering"), but it's also always exhilarating. Easily the highlight of my day.

All of Dickinson and all of Whitman in one day? Because that seems absurd. Is it an 800 hour day?

It *is* absurd, but no, it's not all of them. Just highlights from both. It's a 2 hour and 5 minute class period. And we had to finish Dickinson the next day. In a class like this, though, the idea of "coverage" is problematic. I just try to give them tastes of the good stuff--whet their whistles, so to speak.
