books books books

Since the last post I have read 2 more books.-bringing my grand total of summer 2011 reading, to 6 books!-
Fancy Pants by: Cathy Marie Hake
Measure of a Lady by: Deeanne Gist

Fancy pants was a really cute story and really funny at times. Loved it.
Measure of a Lady was also really good. I got annoyed at the main character's single mindedness and ignorance but it all worked out in the end. (as it always does)

Both were very good. Both were chick flicks, romantic silly stories where the super fabulous guy always gets his amazing girl. I tore through each in less than 3 days. I love these easy read christian-romance books but sometimes....  sometimes it's just too much. lol
-My roommates will tell you, of the bunch of us, I'm the cynic -
These books can make a young lady dream up a huge ridiculous tale of her own that is scarcely distinguishable from the story she just read and it is nice for a time then... I just turn into a cynic. Yes, the story is nice but it isn't real life. It's a story. Silly fluff that's all. Too bad bc that was a nice story. lol
Now onto something a bit less.... fluff.... hmmm.... I'd say something classic something like... Shakespeare but that isn't much better dang Romeo and Juliet....

Happy reading

Summer Reading List

So do you remember from childhood when your mom would take you to the library in summer and you would get like a reading list of books for your age and reading level and a "cool" book mark. Yes, well those days are over and I don't really mind. I never read but 2-3 books on that list all summer. I am NOT a reader. Even if I find a decent book that I mostly like it takes me forever to read, I am a slow reader and picky. I only like really interesting things that grab your attention right off the bat. That being said, I have read 4 books already this summer and it is just the end of June. =] I'll tell you what I've read and try to make a list of more, to keep this reading going.

Brisingr- the third book in the Inheritance cycle(eragon, eldest, brisingr, inheritance). It's about dragons and magic and I did not think I would like it. My sister had me start reading and I loved them. (you will notice, my sister is quite the reader and suggests all the books I read) I have to wait until November or something for the 4th book. I was like half way through this book but I just don't have time when I am at school to read as much as I do during the summer.

The Northern Lights Series-
(suggested by sister) These are all really great romance-ships/captains/pirates-christian-immigration-farming-community-family-friendship-marriage-babies-death-etc.kinda books (lol just listed main themes or w/e) I really liked them. the catch... it is pretty much a chick flick minus cinematography = a book. lol def chick flick books.
The Captain's Bride- so good!!
Deep Harbor- fabulous!!
Midnight Sun- awesome!!

now, book list. what to read next? suggestions are welcome!!
.....         ...   .........   ???
umm... i really don't know. sooo i'll get back to you with what is next. lol
peace and happy reading

Today 4-29-2011

In case you wanted to know here is an overview of my day:
Last day of class for my junior year. finals left then i'm done. very exciting. =]
so let's see... today, i went to class. worked on homework. ate lunch went to a meeting w/ a prof. painted outside. ate dinner. went to work... yep so interesting huh. aren't you glad you now know. 

other peices of my day... 1. my feet hurt. lol i have almost flat feet. nearly no arch and so shoes with any sort of arch hurt my feet. i wore my vans today. i don't usually wear them. for some reason after like 2 hours my feet were killing me. oh duh, they have a big arch (well to my feet it was big) haha sooo i changed into chucks =] 
2. I tried a new braided hair do. hahaha didn't work so well. my hair is a bit frizzy right now. need a trim and a deep condition then maybe try again. lol


thats really all ---
~have a nice life 

I'm Sorry.

To all my former teachers, I apologize. I do not claim to be an amazing or perfect teacher. I have yet to even student teach. But, as I learn more about teaching I am critiquing you. Every lesson you taught and differentiated, or not. Every disciplinary problem you took care of or didn't. Every project, every test... I am sorry for all the critiquing but just think of it as really you are teaching me, what to do or what not to. and I thank you for that. So really I suppose this is both an apology and a thank you. take it as you will.
Regardless I applaud you all and hope to be half what you are...(ok really I hope to be twice what you are. but that isn't the expression. and that only applies to some)

-peace-

are you thankful? choosing joy?? 

nothing insight just informing you of the lameness of IN

       I got a week in Cleveland (spring break) and I can't wait to be back. I detest Indiana right now because I want to be home so bad. However, when I was driving back to school IN greeted me with a lovely sunset, that was nice. But not sufficient to cover the rest of the lameness.... most of all, Tswift playing 90% of the time in the bathroom... really?? people like her enough to listen to her constantly?? I mean it isn't even a mixed country CD or something, I could dig that. other lame things about Anderson: Food, lack of Hood, lack of good shopping close, lack of my family, lots of work, little time. yep lame I know.

yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away...
oh I believe in yesterday.
