An author I have never sufficiently appreciated. I'm trying a new tactic with my tutoree, who's demonstrated an (adorable) interest in law and politics: English-learning through novels. It's way more challenging and just as vocabularly-filled, but also much more fun than SAT exercises. Today we were talking about taxis in Beijing (as the city tries to clean up for the Olympics) and when we turned to the cost of taxis in the U.S. he clutched his chest and said that fares make his "heart hurt." It was hilarious. That part of tutoring is going so much better.
I just deleted several hundred unread emails. Now I'm going to the gym. Really. Really.
