Friday Frolicking

Not a reference to anything in particular, I just felt the desire for some alliteration. I've just spent the last hour or so reading people's blogs from the past couple days. My week has been plagued with proctoring tests, which means that I read a really drab script that reminds testtakers of common things, such as, "don't cheat". Needless to say, I've never quite found my groove this week. Next week is a short one and I'll be gone on Monday at doctor appts. for Quinn and I so I can only hope that after Thanksgiving we can really connect as a writing community more directly. In the meantime, I'll send out a positive remark: I really like getting to know each of you more specifically through your writing. I thank you for the trust you have in this forum and in me. I hope that my comments have been affirming or guiding.

Flummoxed. I'm still a little floored by the infrequency of some people's posts. I'm not entirely sure what is happening to your 50 or so minutes of writing time, but perhaps each of you can illuminate me... I don't want to be the hammer of school justice, but I also don't want you to maintain any illusions about earning credit in this course through shallow, spotty writing. Not going to happen...

This is your final day to post about what you've researched this week. You should have 4 research based posts. I give you credit for any worthy comments you leave for other writers and also for the additional writing that is happening on multiple blogs. Again, it is joyful to read and learn from you. Please embrace the potential in this learning endeavor and jail the slacker in you-- metaphorically speaking, of course.

On Monday, there will be a sub and they'll also be using the lab for testing. I'll have some articles for you to read and respond to related to contemporary blogging. Have a terrific weekend and I'll see you Tuesday!
