I spent the majority of this week writing and workshopping an article about the student loan problem. I haven’t sent it out yet, though. On the advice of a journalist friend, I’m talking to a lawyer who specializes in social justice first.
I can’t sleep, and I still feel kind of sick all the time.
So if you’d like to sacrifice something to the god of your choice on my behalf, please do.
But here’s what else is happening:
The bad:
One of my mentors is dying.
One of my cousins is starting chemo, but isn’t vaccinated against Covid.
The good:
Tig has a new special on HBO, and it’s great.
I’m heading to Indy this week, to spend next week, my birthday week, with Vanessa. I’ll also be teaching two classes and finishing up grading this one, but I’ve worked very hard, and just a few minutes ago, I published the entire six weeks of my second summer session courses, all in advance.
(I’ll only be able to take next week off from course prep, though, since I have five different preps for Fall to get started on.)
I got to see two lovely friends that I hadn’t seen since before the pandemic, I had yummy salmon and drinks with two other lovely friends, I got to see a comedian’s innovative zoom stand-up puppet show, and had my car pass its smog check.
We celebrated our third year anniversary of adopting Thoth and Graymalkin.
And Karlissa finally got to go back to a museum!
