that Dick Cavett has a blog on NYTimes.com. His installment from yesterday is hilarious, witty, insightful. Intelligent and just plain likable. And it led me to this story about how little American high school students know these days, which in turn led me to the Common Core website, which is interesting, and where I found a little quote from Obama, which led me to this website and this video. I'm inspired.
Which is good because, although it was definitely motivating, I was looking at Columbia's English and Comp Lit websites, and feeling a little discouraged, I must admit. But you know what? Just because something is a lot of work doesn't mean I can't do it. That is what I have to remind myself, constantly, every day. Perhaps I will elaborate at some point, but not right now. Later.
Coffee. Spivak. Derrida. Go.
