A mean young woman put this note on my car when my bumper was about 11 inches in front of her spacious driveway. The cops came, but let me go (obviously annoyed with her.) I laughed (and crumbled the note in anger.)
"I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me,
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely.
I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life.
They'd shut me away.
But I'd be alright, alright,
I'd be alright,
I'm alright.
I'm just uptight, uptight."

I have a test today. I am writing out the bits about anatomy, because that is what I forget the quickest. Bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons... our test today is on the feet, and the lower and upper legs.

On the occasion of the publication of James Rosenquist's memoir, Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and Museum Director Richard Armstrong and writer/scholar Judith Goldman engaged in a conversation with the iconic Pop art painter on his life story in his own words. The evening provided a unique look inside the contemporary art world and the creation of the artistic language of one of the twentieth century's most important artists. Co-organized by Alfred A. Knopf.

SUSS WASG girls I knew and MWS&DB pay and Detail Sheets drawn and bushwalking, caving and climbing trips. First book of lists…
Sometimes, I get a student who has decided not to speak. It's understandable. If you are suddenly plunged into another culture with a language you don't understand, one of the few rebellions open to you is to elect not to speak. it gives you one small bit of power, where otherwise, you are powerless.
C doesn't speak, apart from one-word answers that take a while before she gets the nerve to whisper them. I'm working on her confidence in speaking, but in the meantime, we have the most marvelous written conversations. We talk about food, TV, movies, and people, all with her careful illustrations and our giggles and nods back and forth. The notes we pass are some of my most enjoyable student interactions.
Probably a lot of people think I should be pushing her to speak more. I'm more concerned with earning her trust, so that when she does decide that she is comfortable with conversing verbally, she knows she can trust me to listen to her.
