Nothing to do with Foreigner

I have had pretty serious double vision for about 2 weeks. This started about the time that the dizzy thing stopped. I have the strangest experiences with MS! In my limited experiences thus far, most of the little episodes I have had have lasted about 3-6 weeks (except for the whole face tingling thing -- I think that's probably dental, actually).

Anyway, I noticed the double vision about a day or two before I showed my students Beautiful Girls -- about 10 days ago. Yesterday, I noticed that it was still pretty bad while I was driving to school to wrap up my student conferences. On my way home, though, not even 3 hours later, I noticed that it was totally gone. I can watch television again! Just in time for Spring Break! Yeah!

Of course, I will have to spend a good part of my break cleaning the damned house, reading for the following week, updating student grades, and starting my paper for AmLit 1960-Present. I think I'm going to write on Ann Tyler's Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant. That book was good! I swear, absolutely swear, that the main character, Pearl, lived my Grandmother's life -- the grocery store, the vision problems, the way she completed her obligations, but never really seemed to really and truly "love" anybody. Ann Tyler, by the way, won a Pulitzer in the late 80's, I think, for Breathing Lessons (and I'm pretty sure this was made into a movie).

On a last little note, I swear I'm the easiest teacher ever. How is it that over half of my students are not currently passing my class?? (Must get a C or better or they have to retake it).

Okay, that's all my whining for today. I'm really tired and it's time to go to bed.
