The Post in Which I React to My Classmates' First Blog Posts and Other Such

To my Classmates: I say "Good job!" I enjoyed reading your posts and commenting on them.

To YJ, Emma: I feel so left out because I'm not working this summer! You are lucky :D I hope you both excel at your job!

To Hannah, Sarah, and Angie: I enjoyed reading your thoughts on books and other things. Angie, I liked your personal poetic post. It was well written and straight from your heart - so not THAT cheesy, OK? No need to apologize.


I want to hear more about the food you all are enjoying. I also want to hear more about activities you all are participating in.

I have been enjoying ice cream, juice, potatoes, and meat. Today I made dinner for my family.

I just went camping yesterday.. and there were so many mosquitoes we came home early. It was awful.

I will be starting Mockingbird soon; I read like a mad caveman last week.
Proud to say I finished the 800 pages of A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin and I feel like a champion. To be quite honest, it was one of the greatest fantasy tomes I have ever read. If I had to give it a rating (based on 7 stars) I would give it 7. I don't feel like messing around with decimals.. (i.e 6.945)

So now I have to do some school reading.

Simultaneously, I shall be completing a trilogy I began in my youth: The White Lion Chronicles.  I will be reading this on the Kindle - and it is my first Kindle read... I don't like it.

And I hope to finish it soon so that I can read my next 1,000 page fantasy project of the summer: The Way of Kings by Brian Sanderson. I will be reading this book on the Kindle as well, because it was $2.99 to buy it... I couldn't say "No!" to $2.99. But I fear I am missing out from the actual printed book (the way books were designed to be read, by the way) because the tome is filled with great paintings and sketches from talented artists.

So... here's to the 21st Century and cheap (price) e-literature.

The Post in Which I Write My First Post

June has begun.

Here is a song with June in the title that I quite like.

Yay THE DECEMBERISTS!

This summer I actually have work to do. Besides AP English, I also have Boy Scouts work to get done because I would like to become an Eagle Scout before I cannot.

I must begin and complete quite a few merit badges, probably go camping and do some hiking and try to get as much done as I can while I have free summertime!

On top of all that I have an 800 page high fantasy epic I want to read. And I want to work out my body and muscles and play basketball.

There may be some travelling around scattered throughout my summer.... but not sure right now.

First book for AP I will be reading:

To Kill A Mockingfish.

Ooops. What a typo. I mean't To Kill A Mockinbird ....

by Harper Lee.









(What an awkward error...)

York out.
