Long, Hard Thursday

6 p.m.: It's been a long day, and I still have my evening class to teach. I shouldn't complain though. The two day classes were fun and games. I took both classes on a "haiku hike." We went for a silent walk around campus and then returned to the classroom to write haiku. I even pretended it had something to do with the curriculum! Actually the skill of writing short succinct messages is very important for both English Composition and Journalism, so it is relevant. But mostly it was a lot of fun.
But now I have a night class, and I am very tired.
I'll make it.

Wow! That's quite a haiku. None of my students wrote anyting like that, although a few did include comments about their crazy teacher.
