...can I please be finished? I turned in my final project again yesterday with the necessary revisions and told my Professor, "Do NOT give it back to me!" I also taught my last American Literature class yesterday as well. We went over "The Dutchman" by Amiri Baraka. That was a cool study in racism and assimilation. The students were quite confused over the message, but once the saw the illusions to Adam and Eve and considered the things that were going on in the 60's, they got it. I still don't think they liked it. I thought it was a good read and even better movie (its on YouTube).
Otherwise, I am ready to enjoy the summer. I believe we'll be headed to St. Louis this year for our vacation, and I'm looking forward to it. I am going to try to meet up with a girl that was one of my best friends in middle school, and I'm excited to see her. We were Adam Ant freaks..."freaks" being the operative word because I believe she and I were the only ones crazy enough to love him so much.
This past weekend we had a lot of fun with the kids. We flew kites and ran around the playground. They got drenched in the fountain at a local outdoor mall. It was 80ish degrees, but they were all shivering like crazy. We went to the college where they had a movie night on Friday, which was really cool (literally and figuratively). All in all it was a great weekend.
