quandry
it's green, and as long as something's sweet and limey at once, it'll taste like the filling, but there's no specks of brown or anything. it isn't like there's essence of graham cracker in this yogurt.
probably it's honey or something similar. all it says on the label is natural flavors. i'm guessing honey's pretty natural...
on a side note, i really am going to fail this assignment. i've compiled my list, annotated it well, provided clues for use, offered some header material explaining my rationale for choosing these texts as opposed to the others our guide listed.
all that's left is thoughtful reflection on the process. and my brain is fried.
the only reflection i can think of at the moment is that i spent the better part of my weekend alternately freezing my ass off and soaking my wrist in hot towels, guarding a meticulously collected book-hoarde, torturing my wrist typing cap letters for call numbers and parantheticals, and all i've got to show for it is a few creases in our literary reference guide.
that's likely the kind of reflection that lands a person in f-land.
i've got the lesson plan for tomorrow. it involves pairing them up to talk about imagery and detail in specific paragraphs of the text, and having a long talk about what actually happens to a body when it is hung by the neck until dead. i love this story. so far this semester, we've talked about porn and insanity, and now we're adding methods of execution and capital punishment. i could also go into slavery on this one, since there's some of that in there, too, and without reaching a whole lot.
but that's not reflection. the real question is whether i trust myself to get up in the morning and do this, thereby sending myself to bed right now; or do i trust myself to get up in the morning in time to make my class if i stay up and do this tonight? at the moment, i don't trust myself to do either, and the third alternative which is still somewhat palatable is to stay up until it's done and then spend the rest of the wee hours reading articles until it's time to leave for school. sleep would then take place tomorrow evening.
or i could just accept failure. and that's not really an option.
i'm going to work until 1, see what i get, and go to bed. if i've got more to do in the morning, i'll just do it then. but one hour of good, hard, quality [we hope] work, and that'll be the extent of my ability tonight.
love and peace
