Well, it's here. Summer.
While I would perhaps enjoy it better if I did not actually work at the university and therefore actually felt like I had a break from being at school each and every day, it is still summer.
Unfortunately, I am only two days in and am already bored. No homework. Nothing to read. Nothing to study. What's a student to do?
I am actually looking into freelance editing/proofreading. I figure that if I read online newspapers, articles, journals, etc. and get annoyed by grammar and spelling errors, it's worth a shot. Not to mention the horror I experienced while editing a group paper this semester. I've come to the conclusion that incorrect grammar and usage can really tick me off.
But like I said in my last post of the semester, I want to keep this up. I know my 381 class will never come back to read it, but oh well. It's out there.
I am currently in the middle of Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky (an endeavor put on hold during the spring... mom was right when she said that both Russian literature and homework could never win) and The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. Just because it's fun, I think I'll comment on them here as I read. Perhaps this blog will be more successful than the last... five?
So, my dear class... bonne chance! Appreciez-vous l'ete! Promenez-vous et appreciez le soleil. Lire un bon livre. Travailler dur.
(too bad I don't remember all the grammar..)

Je pense que c'est une bonne idee continuer les postings du blog. C'est un chose trés magnifique lire Crime and Punishment et The Grapes of Wrath -- et escriber à français.
No se como hablar y escriber frances ahora. No es facil apprendre español y frances entounces.
I hope that made sense. Summer can make for some good reading time. I have yet to make my list out yet -- something on Roman Catholicism in Tudor England, inspired by Ann's work in the class. And then I want to read a book for fun -- maybe one of John Grisham's latest thrillers. I remember being so taken by The Firm that I sat and read it all in one day. Critchton's Jurassic Park I did the same way. But those books are now almost 20 years old! Sigh.
I use Google Reader to keep up with websites and blogs. It really allows you to read broadly and keep up to date on lots of different topic.
Bonne trabajo!
