Saturday I spent pretty much the entire day working on the presentation for Thailand about diversity in the American literary canon. It was a bit tough because the Internet kept crashing on me; this limits my ability to do research. I then sent my basic rough draft to Jeff, who's going to pretty it up a bit with borders and colors and animations and images and such. We had pork chops, potatoes, and broccoli tonight--it's nice to have fresh food, particularly where veggies are concerned.
Sunday, our major activity was going to the Westin Brunch again--Kerry's idea. The food was better this time than last time, even. They were celebrating St. Patrick's Day--a bit early. They had reuben casseroles and corned beef, along with the usual fare of Indian food, guacamole, Beijing duck, and yummy Italian (including a lamb and pasta dish to die for!). Topped things off with blueberry ice cream. So good! For talent today, they had a juggler, which was a bit unusual, but fun to watch. We took a cab both there and back--no problems. We were so tired when we returned home that we took a loooooong nap, but I managed to be a bit productive after that. Worked on my plan sheet for the Short Novels class, updated a lecture, and worked on a handout. I also found an old presentation I did on
Persepolis for CCCC that I think I can use part of when I go to Bangkok at month's end. Great!
Probably will do more work tomorrow from home.
