The semester is rapidly coming to an end, and so I’ve been busybusy with class-type things. And after today, I have a big ol’ pile of papers to grade, so I’ll be even more busy. Phew!
I am teaching a class again this summer, and I’ll be needing to figure out how to make enough $ to sustain me in the in-between times. (from when school ends in June until the summer session starts, and from when the summer session ends until I start getting paychecks in the fall.)
I had my second yoga class last night, and I am loving it. I’m looking into getting myself a yoga mat of my very own.
I just began reading The Sparrow, which I’ve heard nothing but good things about. The downside is that it’s a 405-page book, and I’m finding myself wanting to do nothing but readreadread. I’ve finished several YA selections in the past couple of weeks, which you can see over at Required Reading. (or not. I can’t seem to get the link to work. you can get there from my About page, if you care. Or try this.)
I loved Heroes this week, and I’m eagerly anticipating next week’s episode! I haven’t watched last night’s Lost yet, but I’m also looking forward to that.
And with that, I’m off to read. Or grade. But probably read…
I read Thread of Grace by Mary Doria Russell and it was excellent, but I haven’t read The Sparrow. Thread of Grace was our 2006 “One Book/One Erie” selection. I also attended a lecture Ms. Russell gave (with her dog). She was so pleasant…answered tons of questions. And very witty, too. If I’m not mistaken, she lives nearby in the Cleveland, Ohio area.
