Changes

First:  I really want to spread out the reading assignment better over the days between classes.  I didn't like it one bit that I read two chapters yesterday  :(

Second:  I showed Dr. Chesley my first three entries at the end of class today, and he said I could include more about what else I'm doing simultaneously with the reading, so I should probably try to stop reading in the shut-out-the-world mode (otherwise I'll end up never doing much of anything simultaneously with the reading).

So here's today's log.
_______________________
7:29 p.m.  On MTh afternoons, I have three English classes in a row.  No language reset song needed today.

7:30 p.m.  "7.  The Stapletons of Merripit house" is 14 pages long.  I wonder whether The Strand Magazine never imposed a length limit on Conan Doyle.

7:37 p.m. Researched above question on the web.  Didn't find the answer, but here's something interesting:   http://www.strandmag.com/hist.htm

7:38 p.m.  Will start reading after cigarette break.

7:48 p.m.  Found the page.  Starting.

8:17 p.m.  A student brought Math questions just as I was about to start.  I'll go smoke again, and start after that.

8:36 p.m.  Okay, starting now.

8:43 p.m.  "But then I remembered the pile of papers and bills with which his study table was littered."  That made me look at my own tables ...  Oh well, I'll clean some day  :)

8:51 p.m.  Too quiet.  "Dammit Janet" on YouTube.

9:01 p.m.  Done.  Net gain from reading this chapter:  The noun phrase "grass-grown path."  That's beautiful, so I should really stop being snobbish about the hyphens.
