Ahh the sweet smell of academia...

Yesterday I had the opportunity of teaching college students. My former English teacher, Dr. Chaucer, invited me to present on art photography to his two humanities classes. They have a photo assignment coming up and Dr. Chaucer has been really disappointed in the quality of work previous semesters have submitted. I ended up teaching for the entire hour, but it all went by so fast and I LOVED IT!!! I can't wait to get to grad school now so that I can begin teaching in college. Man I love the Arts!!!

Also here is a beautiful sonnet by John Milton that Dr. Chaucer assigned his classes and out of curiosity I looked it up last night:

When I consider how my light is spent
Ere half my days in this dark world and wide
And that one talent³ which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless,⁴ though my soul more bent
To serve therewith⁵ my Maker, and present
My true account,⁶ lest he returning chide;
"Doth God exact⁷ day labor, light denied?"
I fondly⁸ ask. But Patience,⁹ to prevent
That murmur, soon replies,^. "God doth not need
Either man's work or his own gifts.¹⁰ Who best
Bear his mild yoke,¹¹ they serve him best. His state
Is kingly; thousands at his bidding speed,^.
And post¹² o'er land and ocean without rest;
They also serve who only stand and wait.¹³
