Let's just say, after yesterday, I feel like a brand new woman. Food poisoning, as it turns out, is not fun. Especially when you are too weak and dehydrated to drag yourself to the Kangaroo down the street and get some Gatorade. (Thanks Brittany!)
Today, I took it easy and actually started working on my lesson plans for next year. And I started with my 9th grade class, which I am VERY excited to be teaching. So I reread Of Mice and Men, and found myself CRYING like a baby at the end. I remember when I first read it in high school, I thought it was so boring, and I thought the ending was stupid, for lack of a better word. But this time around, I cried for Lennie. Who knew.
