Class 1: second entry

I thought I'd look around indigo and amazon this morning and see if I could pick my text book. Although the prof (Tina) said we can change books during the semester if necessary I feel a need to pick the best book possible Now. It's hard though. I like to browse through books and choose slowly, reading a bit here, a bit there... That's just not going to be possible since Windsor's bookstores are few and not very well stocked - and since I must submit my choice by next Monday. I've got it narrowed down to Under Her Wing I think, although Mentoring Heroes looks good too. I think the first one will be more useful as a text book as far as completing the assignments goes. The second one just looks interesting. There's A Hand Up about mentoring women in the sciences which deals specifically with mentoring grads and undergrads in a university setting, but I think it might be more academic than is necessary for this course. I'll think about it some more and make a decision tonight hopefully. I'd like something that will be a handy reference next semester, and I'd like to read more about gender differences in mentoring and success. I was reading a bit about Camille Paglia which I'm hoping we'll cover in my feminism and philosophy course and she claims that there are biological differences to learning.

Arrrgh. Got carried away and now I'm almost late for class.
