Let us not waste our time in idle discourse!

I've always said that I should make a tumblr for my students to access links/photos/ideas/articles that I discover online and that are relevant to their class. I teach grammar, literature, and 1st year writing classes.

The title of this tumblr is a quote from Samuel Beckett's play, Waiting for Godot.
