While I teach full time, I also have a part-time job at the Teachers College Library. Other people say I'm crazy to do this, as school is definitely enought work for any sane person, but hanging out at the library isn't really like work. It's almost a spiritual time for me. I'm pretty much left alone to do what I want as long that it is at the desk. I can play on the internet, do school work, chat to people who come to the library or read books. Such great books too! There are heaps of lovely picture books, young adults books, and old adults books too. My current favourites are childrens cook books. They have great pictures, photographs and cartoons. Not to mention that the instructions are generally pretty easy. I also like looking at the junior non-fiction books in general. The facts they contain are normally correct, and they are written in a really basic style, which is good for me as they inspire me in my note writing.
I am reading a great book right now that I borrowed from my Beau's Mum. It is quite a serious book, so I don't read it every night. It makes me a bit sad sometimes. Also, when I start reading it I get sucked in, so I find I'm reading it for much longer than I should and stay up too late! It is called The Rice Mother and is written by Rani Manicka. It follows an Indian family in Malaysia over three generations. I like it.
That is all I have for now. I might think about doing a 100 pages on Giffy. We shall see.
