boy i tell you what

okay yesterday i started a class at isu. the class is a week long one from july 11-15th, and we had to go yesterday to find out about it and get started on our assignments. most of the work has to be done by july 8th (three days before the class starts).

one of the assignments is to read at least 50 informational texts and create a database of the books using keywords & describe the content/finer points of the books. tonight i read four to start with... and it shouldn't be too tough. we're supposed to do a lot more than 50 if we teach k-2nd grades, cuz we probably use picture books & not chapter books. so i guess i should try to get closer to 100, i don't know.

it was sorta like that conversation between jennifer aniston & mike judge in office space (not verbatim).
"joanne... i'm only counting 15 pieces of flare."
"well, you said 15 was the minimum."
"well, if you want to do the minimum... okay, but some people like to do more, and we encourage that."
"so i should wear more than 15 pieces of flare?"
rolling his eyes... "you do wanna express yourself, don't you?"
"yeah."
"great, great, that's all i ask"
