Dinner Guests

As I wade my way through Mark Twain, one of my classmates commented that Twain was something akin to a dinner guest who regales you with his wit and humor. Strangely, you find that you enjoy his humor and stories and even though you know he's pulling your leg, the entertainment value is just that good. So, as you can tell, I am falling under the charm of a master story teller and thoroughly enjoying myself to boot...go figure! I am trying my best to take my classes one day at at time. As a result, I am not as stressed (yet) as I normally get by this point in the semester; therefore, I am able to take some pleasure in this great American author and the journey through this course. What I get out of this class so far is that I should not take myself too seriously. A positive attitude can make or break almost any encounter, so why not bring your best to the table and become the dinner guest that gets invited back. We can't all be Mark Twain, but who doesn't love the “life of the party” who tells these amazing stories, right?
