Required Reading and Beach Bums

I just bought all of the books I need for this semester. I will happily resist the urge to rant about how outrageously expensive books are to say this: for my World History class (Origins of Modern Global Society), I need to read a romance novel and write a critique about it. That's right. If I ever have to teach a history class, my students will read romance novels with historical settings. I love this prof.

I was looking in my drafts and I found something left over from the summer. So I'll post it now:
Notables:
1. the beach didn't close all season
2. I can surf on the paddle board and do 9 switches without falling
3. one time in the summer, there were 50 ducks in the swimming area...

How many of the ducks were DEAD, Jessie?!?! No lying now....

Megha said...

50 ducks? you counted 50 ducks? and how many patrons were there at that time.... :P

Jess said...

None were dead at that time. Ducks dying is a natural part of life. We all have to come to terms with it someday :).

Yeah...50. No patrons. It was a swarming. Pretty dangerous. It's a miracle that I lived to tell the tale.
