I read both that and Cyrano de Bergerac(mentioned in tb8) freshman year. (I'm a junior)
And during this career search I did one option was supervising activities of children in a day camp.
Also, one of our vocab words this week means 'glee'

Two days ago, I was looking for a book to read and I stumbled across a coffeetable book of Michelangelo's work which I completely forgot that we had. David is the second-most prominent work in it, besides the Sistine Chapel. Today, my mum randomly mentioned it to me, although she's never even spoke about it before. She bought it in Rome.
Also, my mother finished reading The Basic Eight today. She said "it wasn't a book that [she] wished would keep going on and on" (which means she didn't really enjoy it). It's the exact opposite of the way I felt about it.

At my driving school, two of the instructors are named Andrea and Sam. Except Sam is a guy but still... Close enough.
My mother ordered a parfait thing from mcdonalds. If I ever see my grandma with a parfait I'll be a bit alarmed.

Yesterday in English, we were learning about Oscar Wilde. My teacher asked us what we knew about him and I replied "He drank absinthe." My teacher was astounded that I knew that, and followed up by explaining absinthe to the class and taking questions.

A recipe book on cocktails at the home of the kid whom I was babysitting caught my eye. The author and precise title unfortunately escape me, because it was really funny and made me want to make alcoholic beverages. Anyway, the point is that there were several recipes for absinthe-based cocktails.

hmm.
one day people randomly named themselves as parts of speech. I kept asking if any of them was an adverb but I don't think anyone was.

I got a science magazine containing a rather scary article about the possibility of a massive volcanic eruption(a "supervolcano") someplace in California. The magazine also mentioned a biologist named Tim Flannery.

Yesterday, I was babysitting the kids up the street and they just had to play croquet. No heads were bashed in, thank goodness.

A song called time consumer says "wait now here" just like Rabbi Tsouris saying God can be "now here"

I was watching AFI's most inspirational movies the other day, and the announcer randomly said "Hope springs eternal."

I'm reading Anna Karenina and in it, a few of the characters play croquet. One of them claims it is a boring sport.
