RIP David
David Foster Wallace: 1962-2008
"Learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think…being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to…how you construct meaning from experience. Because if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed."

Vocabulary lesson
Ketty, one of the teachers in the program, has been working with her lower level classes on Vocabulary. Today they were going over new words and one of them was "employer." As an example question, she asked the students, "Who is my employer?"
In unison, the class answered, "Susan!"
I suppose it doesn't matter what it says on my business card, as long as the students know who's boss.
And yes, I do have a business card. Let me know if you would like one for your refrigerator. They make lovely decorations.
