New Topic, Week of May 17-24

We're reading a book about the end of the world. In my other class, we're reading a book about the worst possible society. Up until this past week, it seems as though it's been winter for eight and a half years. People are getting laid off, students are failing my classes, I'm going to be out sick tomorrow and I fear how you punks will treat my substitute . . .

Enough already. Let's talk about something happy.

I want you to describe your perfect day. I want as much detail as possible. I want colors, sights and sounds. I want to know where you would go, what you would do, who you would spend time with. I want to know what you would eat, for all three meals. And I'd like one global fantasy, one thing you would do that would change the world, something that would make you happier just knowing it was true -- maybe you want all people to live under a free democracy, or maybe you want to rivers to run Yoo-Hoo instead of water, or maybe you want animals to be able to speak. Whatever it is -- pick one big thing to change about the world, and describe your perfect day.

Due by Saturday. Be nice to the sub. And read books.
