Now does that sentence make ANY sense at all?? I do know what he's trying to get at here (the paragraph is about bird migration) but geez, the editor needs shooting. Many of the sentences I have to read a few times over to make any sense of them because it's so terribly written but the above example takes the cake.
Which is a pity because I like the topic of the book, and I was trying to get as much of the textbook read as I could before I started the unit. I am up to chapter 3 - page 39, which isn't too bad I guess.
Shud sleep soon so I can be all bright and bushy tailed for "summer school" tomorrow (yeah right!)
Just don't let me forget to wear covered shoes, in this weather I would so rather not, but I have labs.
