Hmm... I've gotten in the habit of just clicking onto my blog to check if anyone has updated their blogs. And for a week and a half, I haven't written ANYTHING.
This is because I'm pretty boring.
I have a cold. It's not super bad, but it completely wears me out. I sleep about 10 hours during the night, and once I hit about noon, I'm so tired again I want to lay my head down on my desk and sleep. Unfortunately, the afternoon is when it starts getting busy at work. All these kids come up to me and want me to grade their essays and grade their work, and my brain is almost shut off. I can still grade for technical mistakes and clarity, but once I start grading for content and logic, it's beyond me. I started telling this girl that the content of her essay should reflect the content of her introduction (which is true), and then as I started expounding on that, I realized that her paper did in fact reflect the introduction. Oh well. I still didn't give her a better grade. I am a horrible, mean teacher. Whatever, it wasn't a great paper.
And in other news, I am finally reading Little Women. It's a cute little book, and I'm enjoying it a lot. I'm hoping that I'll like it better than the movie, which left me upset about the ending. But everyone I talked to that read the book said that the ending makes much more sense in the book than the movie. I hope so. I mean, there's gotta be a good reason she chose the dowdy old professor over Christian Bale. In the movie, it's the dumbest choice in the world!
And that is yet another reason why books needn't always be made into movies.

Chelsea....You're pregnant. You're going to be tired. Really tired. And the brain thing? ha ha. It makes me happy that you are losing yours too. I guess it's the whole misery loves company thing. At least we can tell our kids that we used to be smart.
I do however feel bad that you can't just dose yourself up with nyquil. Poor sick Chelsea.
I read Little Women in junior high. I struggled to get through it. I liked the movie better. But you will probably do better with it than 13 year old Clare did.
Clare- I've read the first chapter of this book many many times! This is the first time I've gotten past it. Maybe I'll try The Hobbit next.... but probably not.
I'm glad ur trying to fix ur uncultured swine status. Little Woman is a wonderful classic. *sadly shaking head* poor uncultured people.
Hope u feel better soon!
(Little Men is pretty good, but don't even bother to try the others she wrote... Guarentee u won't get through them if u struggled with Little Woman.. just FYI :-)
The ending does make more sense in the book, but I still think Jo and Laurie belong together. I'm stubborn that way. I mean...HELLO!...have you SEEN Christian Bale?!? :)
