I took this photo of the seahorses at Vancouver Aquarium. They were such fun to watch–they often link tails and float along together.
I am suffering in my summer class. It is a long 3 hours each morning. I hope I can motivate myself to get excited about the assignments. If I can find some great articles to review–they might inspire me to greatness–I hope. I am so happy that this is this last summer class I must take until I graduate. I am learning a lot though, the text is excellent–it really tells one exactly how to write a critical literature review. I love the step by step process. It will definitely make me a much better writer! And the info on thesis writing in invaluable too. I love writing tips. They make my heart sing. Perhaps a PhD in creative writing is in the cards. After careful thought and consideration, I have narrowed down my true interests–what exactly I would like to do when all degrees are said and done–and these are my only real interests (aside from painting–which I will do P/T regardless): creative writing & global literacy of girls and women research and program development. There you have it folks. I’d be happy teaching creative writing at a Uni or researching global literacy issues. Peter doesn’t get it–he thinks I need to know EXACTLY what job I would do in Global literacy–I say I can’t possibly know. Wait until I have my degree and then see what jobs are on the table.
Tabs and Nem have impressed their teacher to no-end. He says they can both swim the length of the pool now!
Pip and Tabs a little out of sorts–sore throats.
Today we are picking up surprise out door toys to perk up the cousins. Tomorrow I will take the troops to a matinee–IceAge III or II–not sure which it is.
Mist has been doing a fabulous job of looking after her sisters while I am at class. They trot down to Aunties for a couple of hours each AM. I am lucky my Mist is an easy Keeper–she is happy playing with the neighborhood kids all summer–she is rarely bored.
Gran comes this Sunday to look after Artemisia and Anemone and my 3 in the mornings. Gran will be hopping!–Miranda and John have to start work–I hope I will be able to stop by and have a quick coffee with my sis on one or two of the mornings–all four adults will be on campus together–imagine that!

I agree about job prospects – I think there are probably jobs out there you havent eaven fathomed, yet.
And suprise toys! Do tell! (you’d think they were for me!)

I adore those sea horses. Maybe come to skidmore before you make your final decision. Once again for the millionth time another famous writer has claimed that this is the greatest collection of writers in the US. Of course they are referring to the visiting writers but I’ve stuck myself in there.
