I remember this nun in grade school, and she said she knew this boy who was from another country, came here and started learning the language, gradually, gradually forgot his native language (he was adopted) and one day he just curled up in a ball, & I think was just yelling or crying. She figured out that he could not speak with meaning. He didn't know enough to know how to speak his feelings in English, could not remember enough to say it in his native language.

Just sort of interesting. An interesting nun, she wasn't all about rules and stuff, had patience, but would say if you were doing anything wrong.

She read us City of Lead and Gold, and The Secret Garden, in our last period, serial reading. I don't know how many weeks it took but not too long I'm guessing. I read the other books in the City series when our family moved to Cincinnati. I am in the library, the childrens section (because it's the only computer available) & I was thinking this is where I got the rest of the series, but no, it was in Saginaw. Butman Fish library. I googled the street view map for Saginaw a few months ago, came back & looked at it some more.

I made that separator just now for stuff that goes between paragraphs when switching subjects. Haha, now I can't remember what I was going to switch to. 

I am getting together a post with journaling and writing icons, which I hope to post at my LJ. I don't really have an icon journal, but maybe should get one. I think I have a name.
