Some things that have been on my mind

[rhyll]

* I'm making about six of my students resubmit their essays, as they contained no references. This seems a trifle harsh. But, on the other hand, at least I'm not failing them.

* I think about haikus a lot these days. And writing more (haikus and otherwise) than I have been.

* I am not very good at friendship, yet. I only have a very few friends who I actually see on anything like a regular basis, and at the moment I feel like I'm not doing much for the friendship with any of them. It makes me uneasy.

* Sunshine!

* I enjoy breathing.

* Still want to see only the strong. *sob*

* I am absurdly proud of my mother.

That is all, for now. Perhaps I'll do some work on my first chapter today. Since it's spring and all.

I'm still a little unsure of my haiku-writing abilities. I need a lot more practice.

Here is one from my office wall that i wrote a while ago. (I'm not so scared of posting it because it wasn't a 'serious' haiku.)

dressing the turkey
suddenly i remember
the wet slaps of sex

hahahahahahaha!!!

Here is one that I wrote in all seriousness, but it came out kind of funny:

Although quite blameless
Many people are ugly.
Life is not so fair.

It's true! Very sad.
