A Belated Thank You Due to My Attempt at Delayed Gratification

December 17, 2018 by Jenny S Leave a Comment

A lovely package arrived on my doorstep last Tuesday and I wanted to tear it open right away. However, as a community college professor halfway through finals week with a pile of portfolios and final projects to respond to and with a bad case of “Is it break yet?” procrastination looming, I decided to use the gift from Yesknopemaybe as motivation.  Get your Comp 1 grades in, and you can open the box!

It worked!  I got the grades in and was delighted to discover that Yesknopemaybe had sent me two books I really wanted to read.  I squealed when I saw Spinning Silver and I have heard really good things about She Rides Shotgun.

Though I still have one class’s grades to finish (they’re due tomorrow at noon), the start of break is in sight and visions of sipping cocoa (or something stronger) and digging into these books are dancing in my head (suck it, sugar plums!).

Thanks again to Yesknopemaybe!

By day (and night really), I teach writing and run a writing center at a community college in the Chicago suburbs. However, my superpowers include racking up large library fines and creating towering stacks of to-read books next to my bed. View Jenny S's reviews»
