Tonight in class we read a story about Poverty. The article is “What is Poverty?” by Jo Goodwin Parker. Read it. I just want to run off to West Virginia and give away money. Seriously. After reading the story, I wanted my class to write a response, but I needed them to take a moreContinue reading “Poverty”

Perfection and Happiness
I feel older. I don’t know if that’s quite right. I feel changed. Age doesn’t have anything to do with it. I’m just older. I am letting my nails grow out, which makes typing a beast. But, it’s just one little thing that makes me feel better. Sometimes I get depressed reading old journals becauseContinue reading “Perfection and Happiness”

Midterms
This week I’ve been torturing my students with midterms all week. I feel like midterms should be used to teach rather than punish, but if you haven’t paid attention to the readings or lectures for the entire class, then I imagine a midterm that reviews those things could be considered torture. At the end ofContinue reading “Midterms”

Lucky Me
I was thinking about the good friends that I have this afternoon. Sara is an amazing mother. I talk about gardening, but I keep forgetting to water my plants. And then they die. I imagine that someday I might be able to take care of living things, but right now–I’m just happy to feed andContinue reading “Lucky Me”
It’s hot in here, It’s hot and It’s monotonous
I am so hot right now. I spent the morning canvassing. I’m trying to put my money where my mouth is and volunteer for the Democratic Party. I knocked on 50 doors. I had a nice time. People are really taking ownership in this election, and that’s exciting. I am home now. There are twoContinue reading “It’s hot in here, It’s hot and It’s monotonous”
Politics of Eve
Four years ago, I lived in Iowa City. Iowa is a hotbed for primary political rallies. I went to a rally held at the University of Iowa campus. I went with Randy, a lifelong mormon democrat, Mike, a conservative, and Dan, a moderate. We were excited to be a part of the political process. WeContinue reading “Politics of Eve”
