FIRE DRILL!

I thought it was yesterday, but, alas, it was today. Nice weather, though.

Many, many AP tests today.

SOPHYS:

Author du jour was Judy Blume yesterday, as it turns out, but I have no idea who it was today. Someone interesting, I hope. I'll have to check the board tomorrow. Interesting how a massive glut of grading backlogged work can soak up your brain tissues, eh?

And then we talked about some truly interesting things: What is the distinction between a current event and history, and, therefore, what defines fiction v. literature? What has longevity? Why?

Socratic crap at its best!

APees:

Well, we watching Apoc Now, at least in one class. The other classes just kind of hung out and talked, since we had five students in one group, four in another, due to the AP-osity of the day.
