Even though it's still summer here, the school year has clearly begun. Traffic is a bit heavier on our street, I assume with UW people. And there are kids wandering back and forth to the high school down the road.
Somewhat inexplicably, I'm also getting ready for the semester to start. I really didn't think I'd find a teaching job so soon after moving up here, but I did, and my first class is today. It's my first evening class ever--in a three-hour chunk. Sounds brutal if you're used to two 75-minute classes.
Let's see how it goes.

WELL?!?!?!?!
On that note, btw, I just tried to teach a bunch o' first-semester freshmen (well, "teach" is such a strong word sometimes for being a TA) Raymond Williams' "Art and Society." They all hate William Morris, and I got my first taste ever of the pretty-boy-know-it-all-jerk-disrespecting-the-young-teacher-because -he-thinks-he-can-get-away-with-it-because-he-always-has experience. Fun, that one. (Did he REALLY just try to argue with me about whether or not Abstract Expressionism is a product of the spirituality of the artist, while in the same breath name-dropping Joseph Cornell? And was that me actually taking the bait? Ugh.)
