End of Summer...
Soon school will be starting and the rains will be coming (at least where I live), fortunately I love both those things! (well except when I have to walk to school in the rain, that's not so fun) but I really hate the heat so after this summer I'll welcome the rain for sure! School doesn't start for me until the 9th of September though, but my neighbor's is supposed to start tomorrow, but the school district went on strike so she might be delayed (I go to school in the next town over, a choice that seems to just prove a wise decision over and over again). Especially since it's our senior year it'll really suck if her school doesn't start until like October or something because then she won't have much time to prepare for college.
Anyway, I've decided to motivate myself to read actual books (heaven forbid!) I love reading it's just when I have the choice between something like Shogun and Skip Beat the manga always wins out >_< needless to say I've read like 100+ manga this summer (including ones online) and one book (that I was actually rereading and it's aimed at like 5th graders... yeah I know) but I was checking out a few book/reading blogs last night so that got me thinking I should actually get back into reading something without pictures... so I made myself a reading list and hopefully I'll be able to read (at least some of) the books on it, I at least want to read The Other Boleyn Girl, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (no I haven't read it yet, Sirius died the book before and then to hear that Dumbledore died I just didn't even go there, but the movie made me want to read it) The Poisonwood Bible and maybe Catch-22. But I'm going to make a list and try to read them all during the 2009-2010 school year (Sept - June), I'm going to a junk store to find some books tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to make a bit of a list after that. :)
