I am back home from college until September, which feels like such a relief. No more 10 page research papers or roommates (to a certain extent). I have time to read. It seems like such a novel concept as I practically inhale books when I get the chance.
Over the past two days, I have read three YA books. One, North of Beautiful, was an exceptionally good book. Justina Chen Headley is an excellent writer and I look forward to reading more books written by her. Because I am now back to working at the local libary, I can get whatever books I want! For instance, I just began City of Bones from The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare. I am not usually one for science-fiction or fantasy literature combinations, but I have heard from various, reliable sources that it is worth a try. Unlike the Twilight series, this appears to have a bit more depth and the writing is clearly better.
So between reading and babysitting and working at the library, I’ve just been gallivanting around home with our new kitten, Sully. We adopted him from a neighbor about a month or so ago. He’s black, grey, and has white ‘painted’ feet. Sully thinks that he is part dog and chases our other cat, Dublin, and dog, Jake, around the house. He is very sweet though, and loves to watch me type on the computer and snuggle.
Thus far, it’s been a pretty good start to the summer. Even though it is not actually summer yet. More like the precursor to it. Either way, I am excited to not have to stress out over school for a few months-though, in actuality, I know that will not be the case. One can dream though…
“We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter’s evening. Some of us let our dreams die, but others nourish and protect them, nurse them through the bad days til they bring them to sunshine and light.”-Woodrow T. Wilson (28th President of the United States)
Springing ahead,
mimi

I thought I should leave a comment now, just incase I forget. Not that I would forget. But I possibly could. The way you make college sound, I’m not excited. But I’m prepared. If the world ends in 2012, I won’t have to worry about it. Hehe.
