Grr and her Ari
In the past few months I read "The Girls" by Lori Lansens. It's a strange story, but well written and very good about conjoined twins. I also finished "A Dangerous Fortune" by Ken Follett. It was great. I can't wait for his new trilogy to be all written so I can read those. I love his books. And the mini-series that was done of "Pillars of the Earth" was fabulous, but of course the book was much better. The sequel, "At Worlds End" is amazing too, maybe they will make a miniseries on that one too. They are long books, but so good. I got this memoir for Xmas and am already halfway through it called "You Don't Look Like Anyone I Know" by Heather Sellers. It's really good. I've never heard of face blindness before, but it's super interesting. I am so happy I don't have it or know anyone who does. The disorder is called prosopagnosia. Apparently Jane Goodall suffered from it, amongst some other famous people.
I start back at school tomorrow. Ugh. My vacation wasn't long enough. At least I got to work quite a bit and earn a little money. I love working part time. If only I could figure out how to live on that, I'd totally work part time for the rest of my life. I love the hours and the time to do my own stuff. Just running errands and cleaning take so much time. But now I have to buckle up for another 2 quarters, with just a week off in between. This is going to be rough. I already have a bunch of reading to finish for Wednesday and already finished my reading for my class tomorrow. Although I have 2 classes back to back (with an hour break in between for lunch I suppose).
My holiday was nice. I got to relax and even went and saw the new Harry Potter and the movie The Fighter. Both were great. I didn't hang out with as many people as I wanted or even call all the ones I wanted to, but at least I had a break. But I did some cleaning, got to see some family members and had a nice time. I wish I had more to report, but truthfully my life is a little dull right now. School takes up so much of me, that not much is left. Only 5 quarters left!
