So, one week of summer school, then about a week and a half before the fall semester starts. It's starting to feel rather weird because I won't be teaching. I'm working as a tutor in the writing center and then helping in the nwr (networked writing resources...computer lab stuff). Well, hopefully, I'll be teaching literature in the spring and not just another composition course.
I finally succumbed and joined myspace today. Interesting, very interesting. I just hope that I can keep myself from spending (actually, wasting) too much time on it.
Over the weekend I saw two excellent movies: the first, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and the second, The Exorcism of Emily Rose. The former had a fresh narrative technique and Robert Downey Jr. being oh so talented and charming. The latter blew me away. While I occasionally indulge in scary films, I am no connoisseur; however, I do find the spiritual messages, symbolism, etc. often thought provoking. This one seemed downright evangelical. If all my dreams come true and I am one day teaching film at a Christian college, this will be on my syllabus.
