A Sunday smile, we wore it for a while.
Since I work at B&N now, I try to read best sellers so that I can be a better saleswoman. Despite my ultra-desire to read all the quirky non-fictions gathering dust on the back shelves, I pick up quirky non-fictions up front. So far, I've read The Last Lecture, A Bold, Fresh Piece of Humanity, Righting the Mother Tongue, and now my first fiction book The Shack. I hope to spend this whole night reading it...and hopefully finishing it because I don't have much time this week.
I don't work until Friday, but I have a five-page book review to write, which shouldn't be difficult. And I have to further elaborate on my ideas concerning a poetry panel for a class. This whole week will be booked with all that and extra work from other classes.
Good stuff is coming up. Me and my friends Kevin and Ryan from school are trying to start an after-school program teaching children creative writing. Fourth through eighth grade, I think. They will do fiction and I'll do poetry. Should be interesting. Not too sure if we will be doing it through the school or on our own. So far, the director of the MFA program thinks it is a great idea, etc. Yay. Wish me luck. I never taught kids, but I do have experience teaching college students. Should be a good challenge.
