The Road Not Taken: 17th of December

17th of December - Actually!

Going to work today was quite easy, and planning my lessons has not taken to much effort either. Ever since I started working at Sandvika, I have shown "Love Actually" to my students in December, and today was the day. I cannot claim that there will be any great pedagogical outcome from watching this film, but December is also about traditions and getting into the right mood before Christmas. There are many things I love about this film; great actors, intertwining stories, pictures from London in December, humour and music. "So if you really love Christmas, come on and let it snow"!

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
