"Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading." - G. M. Trevelyan

Well I think it's about time for a journal entry.

I've been out of school for a week now. My parents came down and moved me home last Friday. Let me tell you, I have never been so happy for a school year to end. Sure I was tired at Christmas break but at the beginning of my summer break I was just sick of my classes.

Final Grades
School Art - A
Psych of Learning & Exceptionalities - C
Creative Writing: Poetry - C
Descriptive Linguistics - D
Intro to Political Science - D

Overall I'm pleased. I was hoping for a C in Poli Sci but I'll settle for a D. At least I don't have to retake it like I do Linguistics -gag-. I'm uberly pleased that I pissed off my Poetry prof with my final paper. I'll have to scan it and post links to the pics to share it on here once I get a new laptop.

Oh that's right! I'm getting a new laptop this summer. My mom spent $243 to have it fixed after it gave me the BSOD but now I can't even get it to charge. She's tired of spending money on it so we're just getting a new one. I found the one I want and it's soooo pretty. It's blue :D

For the past week I have been helping my past librarian at my old high school by packing up all her books and things because my high school is under construction and next year there will not be a library. It's such a horrible tragedy. D: But once the new library is built it should be amazing. I can't wait. The school board says it should be ready by January... but Mrs. B doesn't think so. I just know I will be there to help her once she has a new library.

I found a summer job and it's my dream job. I'll be working at my public library helping with the summer reading program. This puts me in a great position to come by all the books on my summer reading list.

Speaking of my summer reading list... it can be found behind the cut! They are numbered in the order that I am going to read them. Before I can start my summer reading I have to finish Blood Bank by Tanya Huff, it's a collection of short stories to go along with her "Blood Books" series. Excellent read for anyone who likes vampires and a bit of mystery.
