Autumn & assigned reading.
Yesterday was officially the first day of Autumn, my favorite season. :)
Of course, I am a bit disappointed because I was unable to do anything for Mabon, but it's alright. I bought cider and had a lot of fruit for lunch.
David Copperfield is very good, actually. I've decided I love Victorian literature, and that Dickens really is good; just not abridged. Do not read Dickens abridged, it makes it so dry & boring. For 9th grade/freshman year all of class read A Tale of Two Cities abridged for English, it was not good. It's not to say I didn't enjoy the book. It is simply that it is so incredibly much better, granted it is very long. But I can deal with that. Apparently I can have it read in 28 days if I read 2-3 chapters a day. That is also fine with me, I enjoy, and have always enjoyed reading.
Elena has suggested meeting a few of her friends, both of which seem cool and eccentric. One is a metalhead, apparently, the other just has a good taste in music. I need to see Elena soon anyhow, it has been months since she and I have done something together.
I had other things to say which I do not remember, but that is alright.
Time to take Charlie (neighbor's dog) for a walk.
