It's been a while, but bear with me. First of all, Drew came home a couple weeks ago. He is glad to be back home, and I've already coerced him into eating Chinese food (more on that later). It is good to have him. He was impressed with the garden (more on that later, too), but he was disappointed that I neglected his plant in the living room. In my defense, I did keep it alive despite watering it only once in the 7 weeks he was away.
August has been a busy month because I am teaching a summer session class and it started at the beginning of the month. I am teaching Sexism and Power. It's a how-to class. Har har. We meet twice a week for 3 hours each. I have about 20 students. It's a writing class, so we write essays every week, which means that my weekends are devoted to grading. The students are fun and they seem interested in the course material. We have fun discussions and sometimes watch TV shows and movies. I couldn't have asked for a better teaching experience.
I also completed the Literacy Tutor Training at the Newport Beach Public Library. I am in the process of being matched with a learner. The library has a literacy program for adults who need help with their reading, writing, and speaking skills. I should begin tutoring soon, so I'm looking forward to that.
