7/30/09 Earlier this week, I started ordering my books from amazon.com for my class that I will be taking in the fall, Human Rights: Genocide. Needless to say, I'm very excited about this class.
I order the books used, so they have just started staggering in. I get back up to my apartment this afternoon after a quick trip to the mailbox. I'm excited because I have a package that I know is one of these books. Secretly I'm hoping it's the book I ordered on comparative politics, because that is the class I am currently taking and I need a little extra help understanding some of this stuff.
I rip open the package, to find one of the books for my fall class: Human Sorrow. I had previously been intrigued by the title, but not enough to actually do anything about it. I look at the cover, read the back jacket, and then say out loud, to no one but myself (because I'm sure my dogs weren't paying attention to me), "Oh, cool! A book on the Great Famine!"
7/30/09 My good friend from college will start teaching first graders this week. My suggestion to her: Show up dressed as a ninja on the first day of class. They will have nothing but the utmost respect for and possibly a little fear of her for the rest of the school year. And besides, who doesn't want a ninja for a teacher?
