Last week the main event was a welcome part for our two near English department teachers, Cho Kanako Sensei and Dodo Emiko Sensei. The party was held in the With the Style hotel downtown, and we all had fun, during our eating and drinking and chatting, I'm pretty sure. It is great to have two new cheerful and positive members in our department. Now we have about 30 teachers. And next year we'll get two or three more new ones...
And... I've been feeling sorry for the two graduate students taking my seminar in American Young Adult fantasy, cause they're having a lot of trouble reading The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland on a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne Valente, because there are so many words they don't know and because, I think, Valente uses plenty of irony. I love the novel, but I kind of regret choosing it for our class now. I hope they'll find the next book we'll read, The Coldest Girl in Cold Town by Molly Black, less difficult to read!
