Well it has been a productive day today… NOT! I woke up “this morning” at 2pm and ate some oatmeal. Behind cranking out some science homework and reading part of my book, eating oatmeal was the most productive thing I have done. It is odd how I always find myself wishing to be busy when I have nothing going on, yet I wish to be doing less whenever I am busy.
I would have to suggest that anyone who is interested in young adult literature should read the book Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher. I am about 75 pages into it and it is very well written. I love it when books I have to read for class turn out to be books that I end up reading for fun.
I am almost certain that my next “productive” activity for today is going to be watching the Australian Open. If you have never really watched Tennis you should tune in for a few minutes. I sure wish there was a way to earn credits in college for watching tennis.
As I have started making this blog part of my routine I have noticed I actually like the idea of sharing my thoughts. I love to talk and sometimes feel I am talking somebody’s ear off. It is nice to blog because if a person thinks I am talking too much they can just go to a different page while I have still been able to say whatever is on my mind. That is all for tonight J Buenos noches amigos!!

ReplyDeleteThis post makes me smile. I didn't realize that you to were also in YA Lit. I just read "Staying Fat For Sarah Brynes" It was awesome. I'm looking forward to the other books that we need to read. Have fun talking off peoples ears!
I haven't read "Whale Talk," but the other Chris Crutcher book I read (for YA Lit class) made me want to read more of his works. I, too, love when assignments turn into fun! Okay, I'm just going to admit this: I usually pick out the books based on what will be the fastest read. And then always find myself thinking, How cool is it that we're actually getting to read for class?
