Free Time is for Losers, Anyway

So, we're starting week five of the semester. All three of my Comp II classes are going well, and my Fundamentals class is going smoothly. I've been getting my materials together for the online Philosophy class I'll be teaching starting in mid-October, and I can't wait to get started on that.

And just last week I was offered another mid-semester online section--this time for Mythology. I took it, because I love mythology and I could use another course for my CV and because the money will be good. And the school is acting like I'm bailing them out by teaching this, even though I feel like they're doing me a huge favor.

And the night job at Book Store is fine. I'm reminded that people are really lazy, and that gets aggravating, but hey--it's books, right?

By mid-November, though, I might be institutionalized.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

You'll do a good job, but if you end up in an institution, it has to be up here so we can visit you. And bring you cookies and vegetables.

Is it a survey of mythology or a specific culture's mythology?

Nik - You could enroll. There are still 16 seats open. (Damn--they just opened that section yesterday, and there are nine signed up already. Popular class).

Mom - I'll be sure to tell Michele that if she has me committed that she should do it over Thanksgiving break, so we'll be in MN.

Jim - It's a survey. Looking through the assignments, I see units on Greece, Rome, Egypt, Native American, Indian, Chinese, and Norse myths. I don't have the text yet, though.

Jas - if you could email me the info, I'm there. :) My address is on my profile, or you could get it from Jer.
