JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "My Funny Valentine" by Chet Baker]
Valentine's Day is a rip off. Flowers cost double or triple what they normally cost. Restaurants (the good ones) are nearly impossible to get into. Grown men and women around the country will go into depressed ice cream binges because someone forgot them or didn't get around to meeting or loving them in the first place. Why do we do this to ourselves? If we love someone, shouldn't we show that person EVERY day, and isn't there a better way to express ourselves than buying stuffed animals and chocolates? Face it: you have no idea why it's called Valentine's Day or how it started. So why not just have a nice Wednesday and love the person/people you love every day?
-OR-
Choose your own.
AGENDA:
1. Journal (& dealing with all your lovesick defensiveness about Valentine's Day)
2. GATSBY Chapter 6 reading & discussion
