Met students under my supervision for 'Senior Project'. They brought me surprise for, in my view, none of them have shown any interest in drama which is the theme I've proposed. Some might say they like literature and although I did, without delay, ask them why they chose the theme--Pictures of Women As Protrayed through Literary Works--and the answers were-- with closed eyes and my magic index; the topic concerning women; and new idea (something), I was still left pondering why.

Ja-ae, Usa, Pae, Ball, Pitchphimol (bread selling girl), and two more that I forgot to ask their names; all, in my eyes, are not what I call 'Khon La-korn' (drama people). I had one good semester or two with them before but it was writing, English for secretary or in mass communication and those courses didn't allow me to divine the taste of/interest in drama in them. With this and the course arrangement that did not allow us, course advisers, to reveal ourselves until students picked the theme they're interested in, I'd like to call this group of ours 'EerieWe'.

After all, I think we've taken off well alright with two stories to read: Gail Tsukiyama's Night of Many Dreams and Valerie Martin's Property.

Until next meeting on Tuesday.
