My total is now 875 essays. I'm still waiting for a decent Kite Runner response - did see a beautiful take on Atonement, however. And a rant from a future University of North Carolina student who can't stand the Duke Blue Devils. He wrote about how he's looking forward to spending "for years at UNC." That might be the reason he didn't get into Duke.
Today's highlight was listening to, then meeting, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon. You owe it to yourself to read his work. For you incoming APE Lit students, we WILL be studying him next year. (That's your English Teacher-turned-geek with Paul Muldoon in the above pic.)
We're still working an extra half-hour each day, and I'm guessing we'll need to through Wednesday. But the company at Table 129 is good, and so are most of the essays.
