1. I loved studying things that she was passionate about, it is inspiring to be around someone inspired. The Vietnam war, for example, and Bruce Springsteen. Two things that intrigue me to this day because of her.
2. She made me feel smart (which is something I never feel if left on my own). She seemed to enjoy watching us bloom and made me feel okay to still be young, but like an adult at the same time.

when my kids are in high school, I think we will relocate to NC so they can take your classes!! 🙂

I blogged this quote the other day but incase you didn't see it:

What a teacher or librarian or parent can do, in working with children, is to give the flame enough oxygen so that it can burn. As far as I'm concerned, this providing of oxygen is one of the noblest of all vocations.
-Madeleine L'Engle from A Circle of Quiet

1) I (and Robert) liked the movie Mrs. Dalloway (although I don't remember much of it).

2) I hated the movie The Hours

3) The Indigo Girls have a song called “Virginia Woolf”:
They published your diary,
And that's how I got to know you
Key to the room of your own
And a mind without end …
Now here's a young girl
On a kind of a telegraph line through time
And the voice at the other end
Comes like a long-lost friend …
