a long day at panera

Today, I spent five hours reading and studying at Panera Bread, and it was a lot of fun. Nicole and Andrea were there with me and I really enjoyed their company. It was originally their "date" for studying, but I unhesitatingly invited myself along and am now referring to the date as if it were my idea. This is only, of course, the case because this is my blog and everything in it is about me and driven by me; therefore, I have to make every event in it one of my own conception right? Ah, well all of this sounds very innapropriate, but it seems to be the way I always start to write in this thing. I am helplessly egotistical when it comes to my blogging. I willfully plagiarise events and plans. What a bad habit...

Anyways, I am really enjoying the book I have to read by Jim Burke. He is a leading English educator, so I know I am ascribing to the present King Tut's ways of teaching English, but nevertheless I really enjoy what he has to say. I find myself scribbling "yes!" in the margins of my book because something he says rings startlingly true to my own hopes and philosophies for teaching.

Anways, just thought I'd blurb about this because I am about to delve into re-learning some of the things I've recognized I need refreshers on.
