0540 extensive reading summer 2006

Another blog about school, huh!?

Yeah, another blog about school! In this extensive reading course we are to read "Having Our Say" book as the study material.

Why specifically this book?
The Delany sisters are over 100 years old, and as they have witnessed American History changes during a century, and are able to memorize to tell and describe these historical events. Even they are over 100 years, they have a sense of humor spicing their stories with a witty flavor and yet spirited and energetic human beings.

The author of this book, Amy Hearth, wrote an article in New York Times as an assignment where she introduced the Delany sisters to the public for the first time. Upon publishing this article, many requests from all over the country to have the ladies interviewed on T.V or have them in kids school and other suggestions were declined by the Delany sisters. However, later a publisher who thought a book is worth to be written about these two ladies offered Amy to write the book, hence it was written.

am not supposed to bore you with what i've read in this book, so i'll later tell you how do i find especially that am not a fund for biography type books.

Having me back to school (back 2 skool) is really way beyond imagination. After finishing a BS degree in Computer Science, life seemed more important than spending hours on reading and reading and reading of limited books filled with old info!

As we grow, life changes and so do people!

To me, school had been the best when there was no book to rely on! Although my class-mates were not comfortable with such a course lacking an appropertiate book, it seemed to be very UP-TO-DATE course. Actually, there were some info we relied on for about 14 days then while studying them found incorrect and need correction.
Our instructor who gave us this chance to search for the material and study them in class, planted the seed of confidence in his students to be able to analyse and debate what they receive. Successfully wrote our own research paper based on the resources we found and successfully attained companies respect to us ( students) and to our university (King Fahd University of Petroleum and minerals).

GSU offers and Intesive English Language Program that is really intensive!! I am enrolled in this program and will be here for this summer and next fall. Oh, this is my 8th day in USA !!!! Next time, I shall tell you about the flight from Dammam, KSA to Atlanta, USA.

Till then, peace!
