I had a woeful student come into my office this week complaining about how boring his freshman comp class is. He's a writer, and has been since he was about seven, and he wasn't finding anything useful in the class. I suggested he use the class to find material, to observe fellow students, the instructor, whatever. I also remember my mom's response to me if I said I was bored, which was something about it being my own responsibility.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21312708.post-32693289218190738932011-10-15T18:39:50.157-04:002011-10-15T18:39:50.157-04:00Amy, I remember perspective in art class too.

I feel so stupid. Your comment on my blog made me curious so I looked up your posts on Peter. I knew he had a band and played on a cruise ship but I had no idea how successful he was! Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Cream? Bob Marley? And he just turned 29? Amazing! I listened to his music again and I love it. I have to go get ready for the birthday party tonight, but I had to set the record straight. Oh, and I commented on my blog about how both my children have had broken jaws.

I don't often think of mundane as good, but it is indeed, part of the natural way life introduces the gradual accretions that make the whole. I love the images-esp the ship and the fish. That would make great wallpaper, but perhaps just a bit distracting. ;_)hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.com
