"We used to think...when I was an unsifted girl...that words were weak and cheap. Now I don't know of anything so mighty." -Emily Dickinson

A little bit of everything...
26 April 2021: Little bit of everything today: grading, course prep for the summer, committee work, conferences with students, a college meeting, and even a bit of research/writing stuff. The highlight might have been those student conferences, both with ENGL 204 students who wanted to talk about their final exams. It still gets to me sometimes how much fun it is to talk with students about their writing and help them see the smart ideas they've got in their heads. One guy, for instance, is writing about four poems whose concision and diction opens up meanings for readers. Such a delight to talk to non-majors about this stuff.
