I must say it. I love my class this semester. All really good kids, and mostly decent writers. We had so much fun in class yesterday talking about genres and rewriting "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". It was a blast!
That aside, I am concerned about the class. I'm having conferences next week, so no class, then because of my two conferences (yikes!), I'm going to 'cancel' class for Monday and Friday of the next week! I say 'cancel' because I'm going to give them assignments to do instead. (I like to call them asynchronous class meetings by assigning WebBoard stuff.) But I have to figure out those assignments and everything for the next two weeks--today. Sadly, I'm not generally more than a day or two ahead of class, so its time for massive planning!
October is going to be a very busy month with conferences I'm attending and trying to start on my end of term papers. I have three so I need to be getting them done early.
Also, I'm going to a Halloween party with stringent costume requirements, so does anyone have any ideas for an allegorical figure? The predominate color has to be black, though splashes of color, props are acceptable. Basically fancy-schmancy. What could I be? Magnamity? Control? Grace?

You could go as "Grief" and wear a widow's outfit, complete with big black hat and veil. Think Mrs. White (Madeline Kahn's character) from the movie Clue.
Just an idea. :)
Thanks! That's a great suggestion, and Madeline Kahn is the perfect inspiration for such a get-up.
