Good class, but I noticed I answered one of the reading questions completely wrong. Crap.
He did a class debate last night, and it was incredible to actually see people saying out loud, in front of other people, that the US was in Iraq for "humanitarian reasons", and that the US does that "all over the world".
*boggle*
Oooooookay. They're young. Just keep repeating that. It's NICE, and QUAINT to see they still think we're the good guys.
On the plus side, I got more writing done last night before class, so I'll type that today if I ever get a fucking minute. I'm trying to type envelopes and the printer refuses to cooperate. I even deleted EVERY FUCKING ONE of the envelopes EXCEPT the one I wanted, and it still printed a different envelope.
Yeah, I'm a little short on temper this morning, so I don't need that shit from the piece of shit printers we have here.
The whiny story of slogging through writing my first novel.

Yeah, painful ain't it?
Like my student who is suddenly enamored of the John Birch Society?! Ay yi yi -- how can people be so deluded?
Man, that was a scary thing. Every time you begin to think maaaaaaybe young people are getting smarter and paying more attention...
*snort*
Well, I do have to say I was cheered by the spirited feminist analysis some of my students gave to the Beowulf film -- they had no need to be coached or prompted. Their disgust was quite genuine.
I do still despair that we are teaching in modes that no longer make sense, but I persist while trying new things.
