Woo hoo! The spring 2020 semester is finally over and I am officially on summer vacation! It doesn’t really feel like it yet as I am still in Plainview at the moment — have some work that needs to be taken care of this week — and not entirely sure if a trip to the Geriatric Ward this summer is really wise given the world’s uncertainty regarding the Coronavirus.
Despite a full schedule this week, I did manage to complete one of my reads earlier today. Angela Duckworth’s Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance is a phenomenal read that should be required reading for parents, teachers, and anyone who finds themselves in a leadership role. I will post my complete review on this work later this weekend, but for now — GO BUY THIS BOOK!
The novel I am currently reading has not beckoned this week. The Grapes of Wrath just takes too much brain power that I do not currently have. I’m not sure if it is end of the semester haze or what. I think I will try to focus my reading on Steinbeck’s novel this week to see if I can make some real progress in the book and maybe find a little more connection with the characters. In fairness, I am only 200 pages into the book and the Joads are in the early stages of their trip west. I know it’s a great book….I’m just struggling to jump into it at the moment.
