Today I made coffee, as usual, when I woke up;

Practiced Italian before getting ready for work;

Drove too fast on the way to school;

Sharpened a pencil, used it until the tip broke in first period and then threw it toward the garbage can;

Returned to my office for a stapler;

Brought my lunch and ate with Alison, Anna & Christine--we talked about Morocco;

Laughed more than I expected to;

In between fifth and seventh periods, I visited with Mohammed from Literature last semester;

Talked about reviewing books with the new librarian;

Gave a research workshop to three of my colleagues;

Discussed gender stereotypes with my students; and

Typed a poem or what is really a list of things that I did today that I am calling a poem.
