"I want this, I want that."
Also:
"I love this, I hate that."
Rosy spin update: not as rosy. Did my students revise anything? Do they know anything more about themselves as writers than they did before we all started this ordeal? Are e-portfolios a tool of the Devil, or merely the handmaidens of Satan?
One more six-word memoir: "I am a terrible, terrible teacher."
Also:
"Make the bad bad writing stop."
Or, and lastly,
"Kill me now. I mean it."
(I will flesh these out at some later date. After I've slept for about a week.)
You are lovely. And truly funny.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I ran away from my childhood dream--approached twice on two different levels--to be a teacher. I settle for editor and evil manager. At least folks don't have quite the license to make me feel bad.
ReplyDeleteFunny, funny, wonderful post. You're brilliant. Here's my memoir: "May I have another enchilada, please?"
ReplyDeleteLove your header. Beautiful picture!
That's more like it--rosy spin turned rock bottom pessimism.
