tutoring friends

I've been working at Cypress College for about a year now, and I like it pretty much. I have my own office with a computer, and I often get the chance to work on my own things. Lately, I've been meeting fun people in the office. Here's a couple of them: Sally the ESL tutor

and Nicholas the French tutor.

Oliver




Encouraged by other blogger friends' love for their pets, I offer my love for Oliver.
Oliver is my really sweet buppy - baby/puppy. This is him wanting to sleep/sleeping.
I never really had a favorite stuffed animal, an imaginary friend (that I can remember), or a special blankie. But, Oliver has completely captured my attention (as has probably some maternal instinct).

George Eliot and me


I'm on this George Eliot binge these days. Finished reading The Mill on the Floss, reading Romola, watched Middlemarch, and watching Daniel Deronda. While doing this study, I realize that not many people know or care to know George or Marianne or Mary Ann Evans. But, after this study, I realize that I like her and her work very much. Her characters have depth and confuse me, but that is what I like I guess. Real women and men.
