Day 314: 5 Things I'd Like to Do
Oct. 4th, 2012 08:42 pm... this journal prompt comes from some random internet guy named Tom Slatin. It ends "... before it's too late", but that's depressing. I've said some of these before, but they bear repeating.
1. I would like to go to India, even though I foresee that it would be very difficult in lots of ways.
2. I would like to cook more often than I do, especially Indian food and, cf. an earlier entry, soups.
3. I would like to finish my damn single subject credential so that I could teach high school, though every year that I continue in middle school (this is my fifteenth) that seems like a mirage that is further off, and receding.
4. I would like to travel to England to see A. and D. and others, even L., and to Ireland because what the fuck, why haven't I, already?
5. I realized this while teaching the Early Middle Ages this past week. I'd really like to see the Bayeux Tapestry in person. I imagine it's in a museum in Caen. Let me check that. I've always been kind of interested in Normandy and Bretagne, anyway, so yeah, visiting there. Ah, no, it's in Bayeux. And is an embroidered cloth. And was made most likely in England in the 1070s, commissioned by William's half brother Bishop Odo. It's about 230 feet long, and a foot and a half wide, which is MUCH narrower than I thought. All interesting Wikipedia facts.
