I'm sitting in class, processing Belenky, et al.'s theory on women's cognitive development as opposed to Perry's intellectual development. No... don't leave! I promise this post will amuse you.
If you started dozing off reading that first sentence, note that there may have been a time once or twice when I too, was dozing off in class. This quarter, to combat this, I have begun writing Classroom Haiku's, little, loosely structured Haikus (3 lines, 5 syllables then 7 then 5 again) Contexts vary, but I'll give a little blurb about why it connects.
Without further adieu...
The first week of school
Anticipating knowledge
Precedes laziness
-What week 1 is like
One vibrant second
Like carnival-molten glass
A raindrop falling
-on dripping water outside my classroom
Two unblinking coals
Give paws, resting in wet fur
Bleary hints of life
-Inspired by the polar bear on my coke can, my caffeine source
Dualists, or duelists
Wearing White, wage war on Black
With Blind rapiers
-Perry's model stage one
Deflect, escape self
Deflect, temporize, postpone,
Deflect, retreat down
-Perry on deflecting his stages
My now thoughts conflict
With my then thoughts from before.
What's in my future?
-Someone explained something as "now thoughts"
Challenged, and wanting
Palms sweat in true dissonance
Growth in Transition
-Perry, how you grow
