After receiving the usual grief
from Clare about not updating the blog portion of this website, here's
an update:After an incredibly disjointed third quarter calendar wise,
I finally feel we are beginning to get into the core of this course.
You've learned much about Eugenics and although it was scary to take on
the role of a Eugenicist, I felt it was the best way to understand the
mindset of these individuals.
I hope you also enjoyed your memoir (Tory's word) on Vergeen.
The Armenian Genocide for me always seems to focus on the women and
children. Of course men were killed but often early and in a
"quick" fashion.
On to lighter topics...Clare will be leaving early for vacation
(squash tourney--I'm sure in the Caribbean somewhere but...) and in
light of the fact we will have relative peace and quiet, here is a
Top Nine List of Reasons why Friday Will Be a Great Day without Clare:
9-No leftover Ethos water bottle for me to clean up...
8-No ratty dress codes issues because Clare's squash team won
Nationals, New Englands, the East side of Greenwich Championships, etc.
7-No salty role-playing commentary from Clare a.k.a Congresswoman
Nancy Pelosi...
6-We can joke about how cold and boring it is in Ithaca, NY
without fear for our lives...
5-Jen can actually get a word in edge wise...there is so much we
don't know about Jen...
4-No interruptions from Clare's "Crack Berry"...
3-A day's reprieve from staring at another pair of dirty, fuzzy
Uggs...
2-No wondering what Ivy League/Big U sweatshirt will be worn
today...
1-Tory will have full reign in the classroom....Wait that's a bad
thing--Clare please come back soon--we miss you :) !
