We have one more class this summer semester and then it's done. I'll have about two weeks to prepare for the fall semester. This will be my first time teaching a full course load (four classes) because I'm not advising for the entire 2010-2011 academic year; I'm teaching Creative Writing, Interpretation of Fiction, and two sections of Freshman Composition I. It should be interesting.
The kids are reading The Parable of the Sower right now. They seem to really like it, which is why I picked it, mostly. Realized I should have taught it sooner in the semester, however, so that if they'd wanted to, they could've used it in one of their papers. Ah well. You live, you learn, n'est pas?
It's great talking to them about the novel and seeing how excited they get about it. I think some of them are surprised at how much they enjoy reading.
We looked at a few more houses this morning. Saw one we really like, but I don't know if they'll come down in the price enough for us. It's adorable though, really. The first word that comes to mind is charming.
I know that we might have a very long wait until we find a place we like and can afford, but it's my secret (not really now, huh?) wish to find one before classes really get going. It's not fun times a million to move in the middle of the semester. Of course, we'll be able to handle whatever, I'm just saying. Mostly just dreaming at this point, really.
Monday is the last day of class and the quiz is optional. I plan on bringing in doughnuts. Someone's going to be Ms. Popular....
