So it is Tuesday and I am watching French skits for oral language. One actually had three scenes a plot. Nice to see the creativity and the use of language. Tonight is Spanish for the college. I am driving to McPherson instead of Newton and may stay there for several weeks as the bigger class is there. Same thing for my 3 site creative writing but actually enjoy the visiting the class there more. As to next semester.-- Not sure I will be teaching. Some heavy thinking going on there. Money is not the question. I love the student teacher interaction but do not love the winter snow and ice on late night drives home. Book club last night was interesting. CALEB'S CROSSING was preempted by another book as the Brooks' book did not appeal to many of the members. Next meeting we will select books for the future. I would like to see some lighter reads with less morals and more personality. SARAH' S KEY was last night's book and though touted by many our group felt it was somewhat not finished or wrapped up too quickly to be good. None of us felt real rapport with the central figure and all agreed that when that happens the book while readable fails. Only real discussion was the ending which we questioned as to whether or not a relationship happened. The book does not define an answer but as one member said who really cares. the fact that we didn't care proves the character had not become real as we read and therefore the book is not successful for the readers.
