Faulkner, how fitting

I’m still feeling the effects of busy-semester stress, and grading my students’ final papers was almost more than I could bear yesterday.  But! the semester is now at an end, as is my role as a student taking classes.  All done!  Anything else I sit in on is just for fun.

I think it quite fitting that my last class was on Faulkner 🙂  It was so wonderful to hear lots of my classmates say something along the lines of, “Wow, I haven’t read him since high school, and I had no idea he was good.  What a wonderful writer!”  Yup, the man is good, and it’s nice to hear others say so.  For the last four years I’ve been enthralled with his writing, and I sincerely hope he remains at the center of my work as I continue on to different projects.  He’s definitely going to be on my syllabus this fall, even though the course is primarily about women writers in the South.  No, college roommates, you haven’t heard the last of him!  🙂

I’m a bit too tired for reflection on my life as a student, or to appreciate the warm feelings I’m having after reading Faulkner.  But hopefully I will soon have the energy.
