Flailing

No, I haven't dropped from the face of the earth. I'm swamped. I was given three new classes at the beginning of the year: FCE, PET, and an intermediate class (using International Express, probably the worst textbook I've ever come across).

I'm also attending the AGM of the English Teachers Association of Switzerland in Basel this weekend.

Add to the above all of the stuff I'm doing around the house, etc, and you've got a full plate.

I'll do this week's assignment on Sunday.

I blog therefore I am.

"Blogging is an exploration.
You start from nothing and learn as you go."
(adapted from E L Doctorow)

It's week one of the ESL weblogging project on Yahoogroups. I had a hell of the time figuring out what to do and where to post, but I think it was more due to operator error than anything else.

My first assignment for week one is to comment on the photo above. Honestly, I think the phrase "I blog therefore I am" gives a little too much power to the blog and not enough power to the person who created the blog. Blogging doesn't "make" you anything. It's only on of the many forms of self-expression that humans choose.

I think the phrase should be "I create therefore I am."
