Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown. — William Butler Yeats
Awkward but true
Here is a list of things I think about on a daily basis:
*Disclaimer: this is just as of recent, and not as of always*
1- How excited I am that Titanic is coming back into the movie theaters because I was too young to fully appreciate it the first time (also, my dad made me leave the theater during all the nude scenes)
2- How I really want a puppy so that Otto stops sitting in front of my bedroom door trying to eat my ferrets
3- This is not what I think about, but how I think… In Shakespearean English… I am a classroom teacher for the first time in my life (student teaching) and we are reading Romeo and Juliet, now I think in thee’s and thus’s
4- About lesson plans. Every minute of every day. LESSON PLANS LESSON PLANS LESSON PLANS
5- Every day is also filled with another vivid memory of Rudy doing something really cute. I miss him so goddamn much it’s appalling.
I’m in the process of creating a Romeo and Juliet unit for my freshmen classes I’m teaching. It’s making me really emotional. I’m so excited to watch this version tonight.
