In The Swing of Things

Today finds me busy and relaxed at the same time.

There's so much I have to do: moving to a new apartment, helping my parents move to their temporary place, entering grades, finishing up the school year...

Yet I feel so calm and together. I will get this done.

So today I show the students a film about winning, about working, about clashing swords in a middle-ages imagined for the modern day. Maybe that's a cheap trick to keep them in their seats, but I've also got them quizing about certain nuggets of real history hidden in that particular rough.

I'm on top of my game, at least for a day, and that feels good.
