| | Things are busy as usual in Jason's world, so I'm filling you in with this bulleted list:
- My sister moved in with me about two weeks ago, and we are getting along well. We take turns cooking and cleaning, and we get to start our mornings together by complaining how early it is.
- I was picked to be next year's high school student council sponsor. After a little thought, I accepted the position, especially because I will get a class period every day for it and I get a stipend.
- I started another night class at UCO this week. It's my only required course for my master's in English, and it seems pretty boring so far. It's called "Bibliography and Methods of Research." At least we only meet one day a week, but it is from 5:45 to 8:30. Our big project is a 20-page paper on the history of a book. I'm thinking One Hundred Years of Solitude, Winesburg, Ohio, or To Kill a Mockingbird.
- I am still very happy teaching sophomore English and the elective Reading for Fun. I now know that I made the right decision to transfer to the high school at the last minute back in August.
- I am team-teaching my Sunday school class at my church. Our class attendance fluctuates from week to week, but we seem to be growing.
- Of all the movies I have seen recently, I recommend Juno and No Country for Old Men the most.
- The book I am currently reading was given to me by a fellow English teacher. It's a memoir by a guy who used to be a drag queen in New York City. It's pretty hilarious, but it's definitely not for the faint of heart. If you would like to know how M&M's can shoot out of someone's butt, read this book! Ha! That's really gross, I know, but now you're interested, aren't you? I am definitely not going to recommend this book to my students because it's too graphic, but someone out in Xangaland might like it.
