An early start

On Sunday Mom and Dad, Kim and Alan, and William and I went to Town Lake and walked around it. We stopped along the way to see the Austin Nature Center and to eat at Taco Cabana. It was a nice walk and I got a chance to talk to Kim, which I haven't in a while.

Sun night I didn't sleep so well. I woke at 2 am and couldn't get back to sleep. So I went downstairs after lying there a while and watched TV. I saw French in Action, a video series we used for my French class in college. It was fun to watch; only a half hour, but chock full of French. I couldn't remember a lot of it. It was lesson 31.

This morning around 7:30 I started working on my revision. I read through the whole book on the computer. It was very interesting to read the whole thing after being away from it for years. I enjoyed it, to be honest. It was better than I thought it was, which sounds obnoxious but what I mean is I expected it to be very juvenile and immature and it surprised me. There are five parts to the book. Parts III, IV, and V will require some major revision re. POV and inserting Reven diary entries, which Michelle thought would make good interspersing chapters. I'll attack it again tomorrow, probably by highlighting on the hard copy. Now it doesn't seem like a waste to have printed it out, because I can highlight parts that need to be changed to include Connor so it's his point of view, and places where I can turn some meditation on something into a diary entry.
