yes, it's one of those working-from-bed kind of days: oppressively hot and anxiety-ridden. i'm generally feeling blue about the project. i should be feeling better because mr. mouse is no more (see aaron's brilliant comment on the last post), arlo is happily sleeping, and my adviser thinks the new introduction is better. but instead, i'm feeling that old, antsy sense that i should be doing something (curses on my love for jane addams who did change everything for me). whenever i start to feel this way, i cruise the net for educational think-tank type organizations and then inevitably feel lousy either because there doesn't seem to be anything out there that seems really promising or i realize that i'm unqualified to do anything. but today i discovered education sector. they seem to be doing the kind of research and writing that i really admire. think maybe i should have been a summer intern?

Poor mr. mouse...at least he had a food-filled last few days.
I think you could certainly find a home in those educational think-tanks some day. Rebecca & I both have had the experience that 90% of people in the "educational field" have no useful/insightful thoughts or experience whatsoever (you should have heard the woman who designed No Child Left Behind last fall). All of your contemplations of the various aspects of pedagogy will, I think, make you stand out if you ever wanted to turn to working directly on contemporary teaching and education.
