This may or may not post, which is common on these travelblogs. Don’t wanna pay for the internet, so can never get good internet. I’m taking an evening off to see parts of the state I normally don’t get to visit given the hectic nature of my schedule. I’m doing so knowing full well I need to return tomorrow in order to teach, and I am okay with that. It has me thinking about classes and in particular the last day of this ASU experience and last face to face with this room full of writers that I am lucky to get to teach. They’ve been good with me and good for me. It feels different to teach a room full of people who want to be there and want to get something valuable out of the experience. I am sad to see it end, though I expect I’ll have more opportunities to work with them in the future. I want to leave them with something worthwhile.
What I think that will be is a brief lesson on all the pitfalls and things not to do. I have plenty of ideas on that and I will build on them in tomorrow’s blog.
Some thoughts:
- I pay close to 250 a month for 3 lines of cell service. I feel screwed by the entire process. I am moving quickly towards abandoning AT&T once I find a good deal to switch and get new phones… The only thing is will I still have to buy out the old ones? When I switched away from Verizon it cost a ton of money and the service still sucked.
- I need to get away more. I need to escape and write more. I’d had the long term goal of turning my home(s) into an oasis so that I didn’t need to get away. I only needed to go home to get all the away I need. Hasn’t gotten there yet. Next life maybe.
