I'm grading final exams and therefore, inevitably, I am depressed and out of sorts.
And then I hit this line in a student's paper: "If these secularizing trends continued, martyrs would be a dying breed."
I love my job.
The thoughts and adventures of a woman confronting her second half-century.
About Me
- Facing 50
- Woman, reader, writer, wife, mother of two sons, sister, daughter, aunt, friend, state university professor, historian, Midwesterner by birth but marooned in the South, Chicago Cubs fan, Anglophile, devotee of Bruce Springsteen and the 10th Doctor Who, lover of chocolate and marzipan, registered Democrat, practicing Christian (must practice--can't quite get the hang of it)--and menopausal.
Names have been changed to protect the teenagers. As if.
LOVE LOVE LOVE. Aren't students the best!?
