Via this project, I’ve learned that I’m totally in love with South American literature. Oh my goodness. The latest piece of evidence came in the form of Brodie’s Report by Jorge Luis Borges. I actually had time to sit down and read the whole thing in one night-granted, it’s like a 96-page book, but still, a WHOLE BOOK! It’s a collection of short stories, and man alive, they’re kind of bloody, but they’re amazing.
“The Gospel According to Mark” instantly jumped into my top five favorite short stories list. CREEPY.

Last week I met a boy. He was a sub in the class I’m student teaching in.
We talked a lot. He gave me a ride home after school. I realized as the words were coming out of my mouth that I was inviting him to my birthday party. We exchanged email addresses.
Now I’m totally chickening out about emailing him. Even though I have a reason (or two) to do it.

Not only did I get my first batch of straight A’s once I started grad school, I just received the very first A+ of my life. I didn’t even know teachers really gave those out.
Looks like all my freaking out might be a LITTLE unnecessary. And now there’s only about a month left of the semester so…my grades can’t really get that much worse, could they? Rhetorical. I don’t want to think about the alternative.
