EDIT (3:20): I finished all my grading.  YAY!!  End Edit

We watched Pirates of the Caribbean 3 last night.  I had heard that it was hard to follow and that it ended poorly.  I didn’t have any trouble following the plot, and though the “resolution” of the love plot was definitely less than stellar, I thought the ending did, overall, make sense.  But that is just my take on it.

It was also nice to sit and watch a move with Eric instead of sitting by myself on Wednesday night.  Eric is taking a break from the orchestra at church, so he didn’t have rehearsal last night.  And since both of us were tired and had minor headaches, a night on the couch with a movie was a great way to spend the time.

Classes were not terribly exciting.  I had one student finish Basic English yesterday (5 more to go!).  Comp was spent doing peer group work.  They are doing presentations on Friday and Monday in their groups, so I give them a couple of class days to meet/work together.  It does, however, make for somewhat boring days for me.  But really, it’s pretty easy to entertain myself.

I’m currently reading, among other things, a book entitled Reading Like a Writer by Francine Prose.  It’s lovely!

My visit to the chiropractor was a tad interesting.  My back is definitely better now!  However, I got some more information about the supplements he was recommending, and I have decided I won’t be trying them yet.  I may come back to them later, but for now, I’m not convinced that they are really able to do much (and they could get a bit costly before long).  So I’m going to continue with my current plan, and keep them in mind if I need another option later.

Okay, I think that’s all I have for now.  I am going to grade today and start getting ready for our Super Bowl Party on Sunday.  Since we are making a quick trip to the farm (leaving as soon as I get home on Friday and returning home Saturday night), I need to get started on that stuff today.  So we shall see what I decide to accomplish!

  1. I do not agree with your review of Pirates 3.  Don’t get me wrong – I enjoyed the movie, but I felt the plot was very weak, contrived to allow for big special effects scenes.  Pirates 1 was by FAR the best of the series.  Luckily for me, they all had Johnny Depp.  I really do have a little crush on that weird-o.

  2. I often wonder what kind of adults they turn into…ones who let their children do whatever they want or ones who don’t let them do anything!

  3. I’ve never watched any of those movies…not sure I want to!

    Hopefully, whatever your doctor has recommended will do the trick. Time will tell!! I’m praying for you…….

  4. How nice that you get to keep Eric for Wednesdays.  I am enjoying my Wednesday break.  It’s just nice to not have to go somewhere in the middle of the week.

  5. Glad to hear that your back is better! I go to an osteopath/masseuse for my back and neck = wonderful results! Enjoy your self-entertainement!.
