This week I have started work on a group project that will be due at the end of October. My partner is all about getting it done early. Which is wonderful because we will also be partners on our final project that is due the week before I leave for Disney. We are palnning to have that done well before December! I WON the group project partner lottery! ;-) We each have two "aspects" of Mexican American Culture that we are going to work on seperatly and then we'll put it all together about a week before it's due. I'm looking at famous Mexican Americans and Mexican American History. Surprisingly I'm finding it difficult to find three examples of Mexican American History. Partly because I'm not sure what the prof. is looking for. Is Mexican history included in Mexican American History??? I have to find children's books to go with each event I pick. I'm a little worried but I have a list of questions for the prof. ready to go!
I'm also still plucking away at the books. I didn't get The Watson's Go to Burmingham read this weekend, but I did finish Graceling and Athletic Shorts. This week I hope to actually read The Watson's Go to Burmingham as well as The Graveyard Book and The Glass Castle. My biggest problem is writing reviews. For YA I have to read 9 novels, of my choosing. Not a bad assignment at all and I've already got 3 read. However I also have to write a review for each novel I read as well as the ones we all read and talk about in class. So I've got the ones for class done because they are due the day before we discuss the book. This week I get to write a review of Twilight! I have not even started the reviews for my 9 novels, of which I have 3 finished! Sigh, I'm just not good at it, and they have to be like 400-500 words. AAAHHHH...I'm a short and to the point kind of girl. I'm not really good at the "deep thoughts." :-D Anyways, life's busy here! I hope everyone is having a good week.
