Sorry For Not Posting
Sorry that I haven’t been posting on a more regular basis. I have been working on catching up with my students’ grading and preparing for my final conference. My students had to receive their mid-term grades by Friday, March 6, so I needed to make sure that I had all my grades finished by this time. I also wanted to make sure that I filled out the paperwork for MTSU for reimbursement for the conference. Now, normally, I don’t do that, but since this is my first major (regional) conference where I’m going to be flying and staying in a hotel, I wanted to make sure that I was able to get everything done correctly.
I Have a Post That I’m Working On
So, I am in the middle of a post that I’m working on, so even after this one posts, there will be another one either by the end of the week, or at the beginning of next week. I’ve never watched Batman Begins nor The Dark Knight, even though I’m 1) a comic book fan and 2) I like Heath Ledger. There are many reasons as to why I’ve never seen these two movies–more than I probably need to go into at the moment, but these have been on an off streaming for the past couple of years. They are scheduled to go off Netflix by the end of this month at the time of writing. While they’ll probably be back, I decided to jump in and watch The Dark Knight (mostly for Heath Ledger’s performance) before it went away (and because of the looks I got from two of my GTA friends who I (shouldn’t) have told that I’d never seen those two movies.) Also, as I am a film student, I suppose that I should see it as it is one of the seminal movies, but (spoilers) I new that I wouldn’t like it because of the subject matter, so I decided to wait–but the time is now, I think. I’ve seen 2 hours of the movie, but since it is 2.5 hours long, I still have a half an hour to go, so I wanted to wait and finish the movie before finalizing my post on it.
Spring Break Next Week
Next week is Spring Break, so hopefully, I’ll be able to work on a few more entries and get them posted. I have tons of material ready to write up (book reviews, movie reviews, video games, computer stuff, even a couple of “household” successes, but the problem is finding time to get it written up. I’ve changed my writing style to try to find a more convenient time to actually write creatively and its worked. I try to write just after breakfast and my shower before I leave for whatever task I have that day. There’s a period of about 20 mins or so that I have daily that I’m using to write. The problem is, even though I only have one class to teach, I’m finding that it is draining all my time and energy throughout the week. So, I’m having to take a lot more time–time that normally I’d devote to getting blog out (at least every other day or so). Still, since I’m 750-800 words into what should be the “final” draft of The Independent, I’ll just have to keep marching along this way until its done.
