For my most recent graduate course, I gleefully read Shakespeare’s King Lear. Unlike historical critics, who hated what Shakespeare did to a story that traditionally has a happy ending, I think King Lear rocks. Me having this level of enjoyment was not always the case. A poorly chosen assigned reading list turned me off of reading drama and and delayed my gratification by several years. I’m going to do through the assigned reading list for the Introduction to Reading Drama course and explain, if it’s not immediately obvious just by the titles, why picking these plays was a bad idea. To be clear, I loved my professor for the course. Adored her. I had taken a course before this one, and took courses from her after this.

My Basement is Haunted With the Ghosts of My Former Self Until I spent hours in my basement sifting through 17 years of memories, I had never seen the shadows of my past self. By Samantha Serum Grief Book Club Samantha Serum Published in Grief Book Club The house, in 2007. Photo by the author. “And life goes on forever like the gnawing of a mouse, — /And to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow/There’s this little street and this little house.” ~ “Ashes of Life,” Edna St. Vincent Millay My basement is full of ghosts, hiding behind every box and bin. As I sit on the steps, they seem to wander past me. First, the ghost of a college co-ed who has just realized the guy she just went on a date with was going to change the trajectory of her life. Then the ghost of a college student who loved to road trip to a concert appears. The ghost of a small-town newspaperwoman comes out from behind the box of yellowed newspapers. The ghost of a newlywed, giddily in love and full of dreams fo...

By Shweta Arora This technique was discussed for the first time by Dr. Win Wenger. I don’t know what it’s called, so I’m naming it - ‘The Head Technique’. Sit straight. Close your eyes. Imagine the boundary of your head. Now imagine this boundary expanding by an inch. You actually need to ‘see’ the boundary of your head spreading out! Doing this signals your brain to pump extra oxygen into your blood. It results in instant energy in your body. It takes less than 5 minutes and charges your mind up! © The Learning Hub 2023
