I should be reading...

There's no excuse for my lack of words over the last six weeks. Here's some of what I've been up to:
1. Student teaching (7th grade)
2. Being a grad student
3. Visiting Charlie in St. Louis (September 30)
4. Ellen and Noble's engagement celebration with families (see photo)
5. Family weekend at Bennington College (October 6)
6. Volunteering with Pajama Program (October 25)
7. Running (less than 5 times in the last 6 weeks...not enough to count as a distraction)
8. Joining Facebook (dangerous and goes along with the title of my entry)

Now it's time for me to really get back to my U.S. Constitution and Civic Decision Making class readings. For tomorrow I am reading some "race cases": Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857); Regents v. Bakke (1978); Brown v. Board of Education (1954).

What are you all doing for Halloween? Let me know if you have good costume suggestions. I'm thinking of being Meriwether Lewis or William Clark with my cooperating teacher (student teaching placement), as we've just started a Lewis and Clark unit. Although not sure I'm up for wearing that costume to a NYC party by myself. It's one of those costumes that doesn't make sense without its pair.
