The calm at the end of the storm… the light at the end of the tunnel…the silver lining…

December 16, 2008

I’m so ready for my Winter Break that all I can think of is clichés. Last night were my last two classes. Now just a bit of grading and i’m home free.

And, i’ve got so many things I need and want to blog about:

My Christmas Wishlist

My Winter Break Reads

The Things I MADE for Christmas this year (oh yes… there will be crafts)

My Office

Speaking of my office– one of my wonderful students gave me a page of writer quotes framed to put up in my office. It includes these quotes:

Appealing workplaces are to be

avoided. One wants a room with no

view, so imagination can meet

memory in the dark.

–Annie Dillard

and

For me, a page of good prose is

where one hears the rain [and] the

noise of battle.

–John Cheever

Thank you, Kelli. You know me so well!
