Too Spaet — Torsten Israel’s Sp?tschicht
A wall painting at a Sp?ti near you — or: how I made fifty bucks in three days, but at least I got to keep the leftover paint.

“The poet is truly the thief of fire.” — Arthur Rimbaud, born today in 1854. Garrison writes:
He entered a regional poetry contest
at the age of fifteen, where he was supposed to spend several hours
composing a poem for the judges. He slept through the first three
hours, then ate a meal, and wrote his poem a few minutes before time
was called. His poem won the competition.

Oh Boy oh Boy oh Boy
Finally getting down to business at the TU tomorrow morning. And I’ve really got to get this page back in shape.
Just a few quick note to my L1 kids:
–See that link to the right that says “presentation guidelines”? Ignore that. That’s not for y’all.
–If you are on the waiting list, show up anyway.
–If for some reason you didn’t sign up at all, show up anyway.
–Make sure the email address you supplied LSK online is correct and you check it regularly.

It’s Schooltime yet again
And I ought point out a few things… See those links to the right–>
?
Well, that pdf what with the presentation business only counts still for my L2.2 kids. My L1.1 chillun don’t have no presentation this semester. They only need worry about that reading comprehension test in January.
As for the book–yep –follow the link and declare yo’ country… That’s still–unfortunately– the book we’ll be using, among other materials… It won’t be so bad this year.
But just you wait until we get into that Japanese internet schoolgirl porn section… D’oh! Just fooling… that doesn’t come until the Z1…

Absentee Ballots
Hey all you expats,
if you haven’t gotten your absentee ballot yet, you might want to do something about it. More info below.
It doesn’t matter if you want to vote for the Statesman or the Puppet, or maybe some third party ticket, just as long as your vote is cast.

Semester begins
I had a power meeting with my collective bosses up at Zeunerstr this morning, and oh boy was that ever fun. We’ve got a few small changes in store for y’all this year. I’ll lay out the gist of it.
- Reading Comp. test at the end of L1
- No presentations in the 1st semester
- Presentations will be group projects (except for this semester’s L2.2 students)
I am just a-rarrin’ to go.
