*glares at current French History book*

Every semester, I get one history book out of the batch that's just plain poorly-written. Found it for this semester. When the author gives you a paragraph-long quote, then spends the paragraph right after it summarizing said quote, I start skimming. Grrrrrrr.

Making an effort to be a more positive person. Sort of.

One good thing about Daylight Saving (note the lack of "s") Time is that fiction class now starts about forty-five minutes before the sun completely disappears under the horizon. The only windows in the basement of Sunset Cottage face directly west over the oh-so-picturesque "Sunset Point," which is the edge of what constitutes a hill in this state, so for the next several Wednesdays, I'm going to get beautiful sunsets during class.
