British Word of the Day: nappy - (often) disposable absorbent underpants for infants and young children. (American's "diaper.") eg: "Who put the stinky nappy in the garbage can in the kitchen?"
I haven't much time.
Had much tea.
Having coffee.
Writing an essay for tomorrow on the usage of symbolism of babies and children in Macbeth. About 3/4 done, the way I see it. There was no page requirement. I'll go with 5 pages.
Going to be done soon, maybe. So much to say, but not sure it's all important and ties together.
Favourite phrase of the day: "Infantile imbecile." Approximate rhyming is also a new favourite.
Cheers!

It's six pages double space. He said it should take about 15 minutes to read. [I've heard from year-long students that he doesn't want any less than 1000 words. I have something like 1500.)

ReplyDeleteMy classic phrase: "the arrogance of ignorance"
(stupid and proud of it) common affliction among those who disdain school and intellectual pursuits.
Paper advice: my cryptic comment I have given to all my students throughout time: "long enough to be good"
