What was especially cool was the way that the whole class really let go of their inhibitions and allowed themselves to be moulded and carried by him. (what was his name? I’ll call him Tom..because I’ve forgotten…a name is but a name really..) Anyway, Tom really had the class in the palm of his hand and knew to to get us going.  We’ve been ( Read more... )

 Such a fun entry Callie! The repetetition of the "-ass" ending at nearly every line makes for a really great steady rhythm. It's almost like by repeating the "-ass" you show a growing respect for the grass. Yet at the same time an almost tongue in cheek quality comes shining through.
As many others, I enjoyed your Ode to Grass very much.

 Anyway, I guess we can always find something positive in any negative situation.  So here’s mine.

As the lectures on the Tempest are not something to be missed, I decided to sit down and listen to the recordings of the lectures and tutorials.  (MG’s efforts really are appreciated..)  As I was listening I got enthusiastic as to the delivery of ( Read more... )

 Cheryl, thanks for posting these clips up!! i would have never known of them otherwise. I love these old fasioned plasticine style animations, personally I think they're so much better than the ones we have today (even though you like Family Guy..)
Even though I'm not studying to be a teacher right now, there is a possibility that one day I will ( Read more... )

Here is what I think he may feel within himself:

Perched upon my throne of grass

I look upon my kingdom

I have been here.....so long!

I am the foundation, the core.

Gliding like water over stones

Let them try and stop me.

I fly

Alone.

Reading over my previous weeks entries, I decided to write a poem - inspired by my entry, inspired by Ovid's Metamorphases ( Read more... )

 Elise, as always, a great creative piece on your behalf. I've spent quite a lot of time thinking on the question of whether or not it is a "blessing or a curse [to] miss the opportunity to reflect" upon one's life before death. I would definitely prefer to be able to prepare myself for my death than have it spring itself upon me unannounced. I've ( Read more... )

I sat down this week to write about Ovid's Metamorphoses.  I wanted to reflect on the amazing images that Golding conjures up in his explanation of the degradation of the relationship between humanity and nature.  As I sat down to do this, I found myself picking at a pomegranate.  Besides the fact that the pomegranate is a favourite fruit of mine, ( Read more... )

A thoughtful and honest lilttle entry you have there Shadi.. 
Personally, Time and I are in a love-hate relationship. I think I will only be able to have a friendship with Time once I come to the terms with the fact that the friendship has to be on her terms. I know that once I establish a solid friendship with Time, there will be benefits. However ( Read more... )
