So I've been reading lots of books, which I'm excited about. My goal for this year was to read 40 books and I've got 18 books left. I've been counting kids books I read for work/pleasure, but those are books too aren't they? Anyway..I just finished The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. I read it because I wanted to read it before the ( Read more... )

Happy 2009! What goes hand in hand with the passing of a new year? Why new years resolutions of course! I decided to go ahead and put mine on LJ (and I actually made more than just one):

1. In an effort to be able to keep up with the many books I'd like to read...Read 40 books this year. (an increase of 15 from 2008's goal of 25, which I met...YEAH!)
2. ( Read more... )

Been back in CA for a while and have been having a good time. Go Bears (we won our Bowl game)! Getting ready to head back to NYC in a few days. Not quite ready to head back to work, but I sort of am. I've managed to do some reading, knitting, and video game playing so I can't complain. Will post New Years resolutions (I think I'll actually make ( Read more... )

But considering I went to bed at 8pm my time because I was exhausted it's not that early. I actually have time/motivation to do summer reading. Anyways...I was on Facebook and they've created new things like notes, badges, and LiveJournal/Blog/etc. feeds. So I made a badge (so you can paste it wherever you want). I didn't feel like being ( Read more... )

I get 4 days off with nothing to do. I'm excited. Then it's a week-long reading institute with Lucy Calkins, then 5 more days off before student teaching starts. I still have to squeeze in reading 4 books for my core class in the fall. But I'm excited. I might make brownies tonight...mmmm...chocolate!

Me = Frustrated and Stressed. Just hoping I get everything done. Plus I found out I have a summer reading list I need to get done. Luckily it's only 3 books, but still...at least I have August to work on it when I only have one class. I'll try and get some sleep now and wake up refreshed and ready to get to work and pack, etc. It will ( Read more... )

So far I've been doing little things were and there. The weather's been warm here in Hercules lately and so I did some laps in our pool at home. I swam for about an hour. It was nice just exercising and once I got used to the coolness of the water it was nice and refreshing. Of course I'm really tan, but it's something I've learned to deal with ( Read more... )

That's right...I'm back hom for the weekend. We're doing Father's Day stuff. Happy Graduation Nini and Jaime! I finished reading Memoirs of a Geisha and I'm going to start another book, Geisha: A Life, that's along the same lines (i.e. about Japanese culture/geisha). But of course I have more and more books on my list. Slowly more and more of ( Read more... )

Did some packing today and had dinner with Tracy and Stacy. It was nice to see them since I haven't really hung out with them since we were still roomies my first year at TH (that means 3 years ago). So yeah. Not up to much now. Maybe I'll do more reading...I'm hoping to finish Memoirs of a Geisha soon so I can start on another one. Hope all ( Read more... )

I actually had a salad as part of my lunch today...::gasp:: I know how shocking that is...but I'm trying to eat a little better. Hopefully I can keep it up. I didn't read much last night, but I'll try and read some today. I have so many books on my reading list. But really I can't wait until I start school again. I'm ready to attack it and ( Read more... )
