This morning on my way to work, I made a detour to McDonald's. Yes, McDonald's. I really did think through my options but I can't stand breakfast burritos (so ixnay Del Taco) and Burger King breakfasts didn't sound promising.
I polished off a hash brown and egg mcmuffin meal. Drinking my coffee now. My coworkers were jealous. It's nice to have a full belly in the morning.

Corita Kent's Rules & Hints for Students & Teachers
from Learning by Heart by Corita Kent & Steward, Allworth Press 2008
RULE 1 Find a place you trust and then try trusting it for a while.
RULE 2 General Duties of a student: Pull everything out of your teacher. Pull everything out of your fellow students.
RULE 3 General Duties of a teacher: Pull everything out of your students.
RULE 4 Consider everything an experiment
RULE 5 Be Self Disciplined. This means finding someone wise or smart and choosing to follow them. To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self disciplined is to follow in a better way.
RULE 6 Nothing is a mistake. There's no win and no fail. There's only make.
RULE 7 The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It's the people who do all of the work all the time who eventually catch on to things.
RULE 8 Don't try to create and analyse at the same time. They're different processes.
RULE 9 Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It's lighter than you think.
RULE 10 "We're breaking all of the rules. Even our own rules. And how do we do that? By leaving plenty of room for X quantities." - John Cage
HELPFUL HINTS: Always be around. Come or go to everything. Always go to classes. Read anything you can get your hands on. Look at movies carefully, often. Save everything- It might come in handy later. There should be new rules next week.
