The first chapter is mainly “why you should do this.” I appreciated the chart that showed “Phases of First-Year Teachers’ Attitude Toward Teaching.” Even though that chart in and of itself wasn’t the point, I resonated with being in the disillusionment phase (but starting to crawl out of it perhaps)

I really enjoy this author, but the one thing I don’t love so much as a Lutheran is the grand spiritual encounters of the personal voice of God speaking to the characters. I like the idea of our experiences preparing us for God, but I don’t love God speaking outside of his Word.

Needed an easy going book to listen to while I drove.

Don’t tell my students I’m 6-7 percent done with this book.

Definitely have gotten to a point where some book scenes did not make it into the movie. Interesting how you can sense Paul’s attitude change in the book way faster than the movies.

It’s interesting listening to the audiobook since I’ve seen the movie a couple of times. The movie follows very well so far.

Ditching Ready Player One for Dune

The book be like:
“I cheated on you.”
*they don’t talk for a day*
“How can I know you won’t do it again?”
“You could marry me.”

I’m on a roll for rereading books.
