Next week I start teaching a class in the mornings prior to the children's program. As of today I only have seven students!! I used to have more but enrollment has dropped. Had it dropped earlier in May, the class would have been canceled. I still need to work on my syllabus and work on my prep.
We've been making good progress on our Netflix list. We recently watched "The Book Thief" which was OK. I still want to read the book. Also saw "Philomena" which was an interesting true story. We're currently watching "The Butler" which I like due to the historical significance. It's also a true story. We also have "12 Years a Slave" on the way. I really liked the book so I'm hoping the book meets expectations. We also saw "Her" which was interesting. I did not like the ending.
Gavin was hired to work for Monsanto which is exciting. He'll have orientation later in the month and he'll start working officially after July 4th. He's pretty excited to make his own money.
I guess that's the big updates for now.
How long does the summer camp run? I don't envy you, especially when it comes to teaching in the morning too. My class started today. It's going to be A LOT of work. I have a paper due tomorrow already. I'm already off task.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have any desire to see "The Book Thief." I guess the book was enough. I do want to see "12 Years a Slave" and "Her." Have you seen "Transcendence"? To me, it's sort've like "Her" but not really.
I wonder if Gavin will like working. I'm sure he'll be fine. Sometimes youngins don't understand that work isn't all that great, even if you do get paid. Ok, back to writing the paper. Grrrr!
