I Like The Cold
When I was walking home from teaching class last night, I realized how cold it has gotten here in the city. And I like it. Maybe all those years at Syracuse are starting to have some effect on me. Or maybe I just have a really good coat. It was, after all, made in Belarus.
Today seems to be an exercise in just getting things done off a checklist in front of me. There are cards to mail, articles to finish and a class to prepare for next week. I'm a little sad that class is officially over on the 19th. I really liked this group of students. They were all very talented and asked really great questions. I was but a secretary, reading their stuff and telling them it was good.
I also started re-reading Anne Lamott's book, Bird by Bird yesterday. Initially I bought a new copy for the lesson on the writer's voice, and now I can't keep my nose out of it. It's funny how a book as popular as hers can still actually be very true about the craft of writing.
Tonight there are an array of parties I could go to, including a fashion show. I think I will check them out, if only for the goody bags. My enormous Christmas tree is also doing well. It just needs some sparkles on it.
