hey all,
I've taken to watching some TV dramas recently. I watched the whole thing of The Walking Dead on Hulu, which was amazing. And I got to check out the first two seasons of True Blood as well, which was also really good.
More recently, Michi and I have started watching Lost, of all things. I never got into it when it was new, but Hulu in Japan has it categorized as a "Learn English" drama. So we're giving it a shot with English subtitles instead of Japanese ones. We've only gone through the first two episodes, and she seems able to follow for the most part.
I also finished The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie, which I really liked except for the fact that every character turned out to be a jerk (if not outright evil) in one way or another. I'm thinking I'm going to start reading the Y: The Last Man graphic novels and the Malazan Empire books after I finish two books on teaching and reading comprehension that I've been slowly working my way through.
We've almost finished the first week of our rotating teacher schedule. Overall, I think it is a success. The teachers get to work with different students and the students get to learn under different teachers throughout the day. The only draw back is that every teacher has a slightly different reward/punishment system in place, and I don't think we're making optimal use of each others systems at the moment.
Cheers,
