My daughter left on Tuesday with her program "Evolutionary Ecology: Across Latitudes." About 30 of them went to study in Ecuador for the quarter. She sent pictures and emails and should be now on a bus to a different place
Spent my one weekend a month in Seattle where all my friends are. We do Dim Sum on Sunday and then watch movies all day. I told them about some of the movies we have been watching in class. It is nice they are all interested in what I am doing.
Almost done with the scholarships, they are due on the first of February so I want to turn them in this coming week. It will be a relief to get them over with and onto the next thing. I looked up the movie we are seeing in week four. That is the one I am writing about. Unfortunately the review I read didn't like it! So now I am looking forward to viewing it for myself!

I personally enjoyed Mr. Ransom on Friday. He was very honest and very amusing! I read the stuff that was on the canvas, and I have to say I found his stories very engaging. It's a good thing I have no intention of making writing my day job! It is really only this quarter that I have learned what the heck finding your "voice" is! That is NOT the way we were taught. When I was in K-12 they were trying to formalize your writing and take the informal and not very professional voice OUT of your writing.

Looking forward to Week 4!!!!!
