so i haven't posted in a while. but i am not sure what to talk about. not much knitting has been going on. i finished the picot edge on lorna's laces one hank socks on black dog designs blog.
in english ten honors we are reading jane eyre by charlotte bronte. i have had a horrible time of comprehending it. today it dawned on me that maybe, just maybe, they would have the book on recording. i have downloaded a few books from Librivox.org and they have been good. so i figured jane eyre was old enough to be on there. and luckily it was. for the weekend my teacher had given us more than 80 pages to read. i have downloaded the Librivox recorded Jane Eyre and am half way through chapter 22 (we have to "read" through 23. i'll be able to finish the 23rd chapter by the time i go to english. i wonder if it is wrong that i downloaded the recorded version...any opinions? i hope i am no a horrible person.

I haven't actually completely READ most English books. I listened to Crime and Punishment on a car ride once and got an A on the test. So, I'd say it's completely fine.
Hi Abby . . one of my daughters is more auditory in learning so would definitely benefit from hearing it read vs. reading it herself. She would actually comprehend. The other daughter wouldn't be able to focus if she was listening, she needs to be reading, so I say whatever works for your learning style and the teacher should definitely agree with you. It is cool that you recognized what you needed and sought it out! Lea-Ann
