I don't remember the authors of all of these. I read most of these this summer, as part of my nonsense book requirement :]
i love reading for fun...
Elsewhere-Gabreille Zevin? I think..
The Boyfriend List- E. Lockhart
Suite Scarlett-Maureen Johnson (anything by her is fantastic)
I read My Sister's Keeper because I kept seeing it everywhere and saw that a movie was coming out. The book was incredibly sad.. if you ever read that book prepare to be really depressed. it's good though.
Fly on the Wall...that was interesting.
OH! I read a great vampire book called Evernight. IT was weird at first, but it got much better. Great alternative to twilight..

I've also watched great movies..
Paris J'etaime is AMAZING. GO WATCH IT, NOW.
Jeux D'enfants, or Love Me if you Dare was weird, but really good.
The diving bell and the butterfly...sad.
i saw watchmen and don't get what all the fuss is about
uhm what else...
amelie,
uhm...


but anyways
that's what i've been doing all summer. what have you been doing all summer?

reflections

Before cross country, my summers consisted of reading and television.
Then I started xc last year, and then my summers consisted of running, reading, and internet.
(No friend-activities because I'm almost always out of town.)
Now this year has been pretty awesome so far. My summer has consisted of running, traveling, reading, and internet. Lots of each, too.
I haven't done as much running as I want because 1. it's ridiculously hot here in Georgia, so to get any good running in it has to be before 8, and I sleep in. Thus, I use the treadmill. And I hatehatehate treadmills.
Yes yes excuses excuses but I am running xp
And I had Americone Dream on the 4th, and saw awesome fireworks.
And I enjoyed random neighborhood escapades.
And practice the first two weeks when I was in town was pretty awesome.
And I got a car so I won't havta bum people for rides to the CC at 6am next year. :D
So yeah. And then I'll be back in town next week...so I can hang out with folks. Woo.
I really want some Americone Dream right nowww.
D:
I have a tumblr!
And a flickr
and I think the links are on here...Idk
but anyways
so long

sigh

sigh.
college applications are already wearing me down u_u;
It's kinda insane to choose where you want to spend four years of your life. And sucky
I'm looking out of my normal range now
There's oberlin in ohio, which is supposed to be uber-liberal-artsy-hipster-academia-ness.
Sounds good. And they have womb chairs.
There's also kenyon in ohio, which is the middle-of-nowhere-awesome-professors-beautiful-campus one.
And then there's amherst, the one in massachussets which i really know nothing about except it's a liberal arts place and I may be able to visit for free..so it'snot getting kicked off my list yet.
Of course I have to apply to the token public school here..UNC. I just don't think such a big school is for me. I wouldn't die if I had to go there, but it's def. not my top choice.
My safety is UNC-A. It's a public liberal arts...perfect! And it's cheap, and my parents used to teach there, and Asheville is amazing.
There's just something attractive about going to school out of state. It's certainly not the $40,000+ tuition...
u_u;;
Well back to commonapp.org

haha

I've read 4 books in five days X] all the awesome books I talked about in my last post. They were all awesome! I especially loved Elsewhere and Devilish. And Devilish was set in Providence, RI (where Brown is) :o
Now, I have to concentrate on Frankenstein till i finish that and the thematic timeline. (FML.) I'm also looking up scholarships and doing other college-y things. Senior-dom stinks as far as that's concerned -_-;
Well, I'll see you around!

run

Today,
I woke up at 6-ish A.M to go run.
Despite sleeping at around 3 I was glad to be out in the cool...COOL georgia air.
COOL! Ah. What sweet relief.
It was a good run. Yes, my neighborhood is full of awful, awful hills. Yes, I had to look behind a few times because of a bad experience with a dog in my neighborhood when I went running a few years ago...but it was pretty sweet to see the sunrise in front of me, and just come back home and lay in the driveway for a few moments.
:D
I then stretched, showered, watched an episode of Lost, ate cereal, and went back to bed.
Then I woke up, did yardwork, went on facebook, and read.
Then I went to the library and got:
They Boyfriend List and Fly on the Wall by E. Lockhart
Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin
and Devilish by Maureen Johnson :]
The Boyfriend List is humorous and intersting so far. I'm almost done...oops.
I then got a cookie, came home, and did some car shopping.
Things are looking good; knock on wood.
Good night!
