It's been awhile since I've written one of these. I feel like all we did this week was SSR, blogs, more blogs, and talk about all the upcoming papers we are going to have to write. And of course listen to some poetry and that one TED Talk. Shake the Dust by Anis Mojgani, a spoken word poem we listened to in the beginning of class one day, was really cool. I really like his voice, and I wish I could talk as smooth as he can. I like how the poem starts out with “This is for the…” and goes on to list different kinds of people. I was surprised the first time I listened to it, I thought that was just going to be an introduction of sorts, but no that was the actual poem. It was pretty cool. The tragedy blogs suck. The reflective ones I don’t mind as much. I had to switch back to my old SSR author from Murakami back to Ian McEwan in order to finish two books by the same author. As much as I enjoy reading Murakami’s books there is no way I would have finished two in time for the author study. So I started to read this book called A Child in Time. Kind of boring, but I found a lot of similarities between this one and Enduring Love, the other book of McEwan’s I’ve read. Both deal with tears in relationships, and both focus a lot about the character’s job. Also both books start with a big traumatic event leading to all of the problems in the book. Both books very much not my cup of tea.
