Yesterday I finshed reading The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. Although it was a tad depressing, her use of poetic expression in her writing made the novel unique and intriguing. For instance, I really love this quote from chapter 4:
"The sickness rolled through me in great waves. After each wave it would fade away and leave me limp as a wet leaf and shivering all over and then I would feel it rising up in me again, and the glittering white torture chamber tiles under my feet and over my head and all four sides closed in and squeezed me to pieces."
For anyone who wants a look into the mind of someone suffering a mental breakdown, I recommend this book.
I also managed to catch a viewing of WALL-E. That movie is so damn cute, and it rings a lot of truth, too. I'd say it's one of my favorite animated films ever. Plus, they give you a cool blue WALL-E wrist watch at showtime with every ticket purchase you make!
Lastly, I opened a letter from Purchase today that informed me I would receive a $1,000 scholarship for the 2008-2009 year based on my academic performance from last year. Yippee!!!
