So I wanted to share some news with you as I receive it.
Some good news:
Cinemark movie theaters will be showing the classic Dr. Zhivago film on Sept. 6 in theaters. Now I am certainly not encouraging you to go out on a school night and of course all decisions are up to your parents, but it might be fun for you decathletes to go see this movie (of course you might rent it or whatever, but the theater does have a certain ambience). It is somewhat different from the book, and of course we always rely on the text for details, however, it might be a fun experience for you to go see it either individually, with your families or with other decathletes.
Some bad (well, not really bad, but changing) news:
Mr. Riggs has decided to leave VVHS and pursue other fabulous and fascinating career options. We will of course miss him in AD and at VVHS, but I for one wish him all the best in his future endeavors!
I will be trying to find someone else to help coach our team and will keep you posted on that.
How convenient is that? It's awesome that they're showing it while we're in the middle of reading the book! My dad loves the classic Zhivago, so I might go see it with him.
ReplyDeleteMr. Riggs, even though it's sad that you're leaving, I wish you luck and happiness whenever you go afterwards; though know that we'll miss you!
I think, if it would be possible, we should check out seeing who in AD wants to go, and plan to see it. Of course it wouldn't be true to the information that we would need exactly but I think it would help a few people (aka me) get a better understanding of the overall picture of the plot.
ReplyDeleteOf Course, I (for like the seven billionth time) wish Mr. Riggs all the best at wherever he is going, and am hereby forcing him to come support us at competition.
