Wee Publication

A short essay I wrote will be appearing the October issue of Quiet Mountain, a journal of women's writing. You may remember them as the place where I was interviewed by Diane Saarinen (August issue). Yay! My essay is about the ambivalence many teachers feel at the end of the summer; however much you love teaching, the freedom of summer is an illusion we have a hard time giving up.

"Freedom! Horrible, horrible freedom!"

But seriously - congratulations on yet an other publication! I can't wait to read it, but I will, as one of your fans!

Wow, Lard Lad, eh? Yet another timewaster I needed to know about!

Heya Pat --

At least you have the added novelty of teaching in Taiwan this fall (and later, you lucky dog!). However, I suppose the extra stress of learning a whole new system of doing things reduces the "fun factor" a little bit.

We've been in school so long it feels like the end of September already! Good thing it's not. I have a conference to go to the beginning of October!
