Long Days Full of Possibility

The semester ends Tuesday. I will get a set of papers (a very small set, about 14 at the most). Then I will be free to pursue whatever. I have some things I want to take on immediately, neatening up the business of my life, doing a syllabus for the creative writing workshop I am scheduled to teach at the synagogue starting in November, attending a lot of yoga classes at times and places I normally was not able to, advertising myself as a tutor, beginning to research and read for the book on Butler. But soon I will have a great deal of discretion of how I am going to spend my time for a while. I hope I use it wisely and well.

Sounds like a plan!

And I hadn't thought about tutors. Some tutors here ask $50 an hour--a while back I paid more than 20 for math tutoring for a child.

I want $50. or $60., but I fear that students will not be able to afford it.

I think it was $30 I paid, and to a woman with a B.S.

So $50. or $60. would not be unfair, particularly here.
