Reflection Week of 9-30 through 104

This week I had a lot of revelations. One: I'm in the sophomore slump, and I'll be the first to admit it. I have been slacking so hard and yes, there has been hospitalization, sickness, and technicalities in the mix, but most of it is just doubting that I have the abilities to be in college in the first place and asking myself why I'm here. Anyway, enough of that. I had a really great conversation with Kallie and Hailey about our Hans Christian Andersen story, _The Top and the Ball_. The story is completely based off of apperance and only being attracted to looks. When we watched the short video on Reader's Theater, I forgot how exciting that is, and how exciting it is for a kid. When I go to work in the afternoons, the kids in my classroom at the daycare are just happy when I sit with them and read a book. To see how reader's theater not only excites little kids, but all kids and adults alike, I think that's spectacular. I'm excited to see what we can do with our story and turn it into something that will excite and turn a boring, dull and hard to interpret story into a story that will make people get involved and enthused. It's been an odd week, and I feel like I've missed a lot, but class on Wednesday was very good and I enjoyed discussing the HCA stories.
