I am finishing up a class-19th century British Lit. I have one last paper due this Wednesday. I'm comparing the writings of Charles Dickens' Hard Times with American writers of the same time period. I find books that deal with the struggles of the common man during the Industrial Revolution fascinating. This is definitely my favorite time period/topic to study. I need to get a 8-10 page paper out of it. The research is done; I just need to put pen to paper.
I'm not taking any classes this summer. With the two classes I took last summer and the classes I've taken this school year, I'm ready for a break. I'm actually looking forward to being at home with Dan. This will be the first summer in a long time that he will not have to run off to cover the weight room in the morning or go to football meetings during the day.
He has already tilled the garden in preparation for planting. Not only are we doing the normal stuff: tomatoes, peppers, beans, and carrots, Dan has tilled an area for corn. I guess 23 years in the country is starting to rub off on us. We are now starting to grow our own food; who knows maybe eventually we will be raising and killing our own meat.
