Whats up?

Posted by alicia on Aug 30, 2005 in Life |

Well, I’ve been working a full-time job for almost 2 weeks! Who is proud of me? :-) I’m still in training, though that will end very soon. Then I’ll be in the schools interviewing first graders. Yesterday I had a bit of anxiety, realizing that I would be working with children! What did I get myself into!?!? I just keep telling myself that this is just a temp job. I can do it.

Dan & I have been reading quite a bit lately. He is cruising through The Cronicles of Narnia. I am reading things less interesting to most people. I just finished Moll Flanders by Daniel Dafoe. What a crazy story that was! I can see how this work was a valued addition to the literary world at that time. The story is set in the late 1600’s, mostly in England. The novel is written as if a woman is telling the story of her life, which is full of crime, dishonesty, and other evils that seem to accompany poverty, but then, eventually, there is restoration. I liked it very much.

Richmond news: Less than 5 weeks till we close on the house! :-D

I saw part of the movie too, a very long time ago. I thought the story looked interesting, so I wanted to read it.
I’ve never read Silas Marner….is it good?
