Whew. Today was definitely the quickest class I've had in English all year. I liked doing this as our independent reading in-class "essay," but I feel like I still did kind of bad because of the symbols and definitely the themes. 

I read Pride & Prejudice and I admit, I did kind of like it. It was apparently published 199 years ago... but it was still very well written for it's time. If someone reading this decides that they wanna try it out, then here's some help; first look up a plot summary and/or characters list. The character list for sure because trust me, with it read before-hand, reading the book will be sooo much easier to read and not to mention smoother. The book is pretty lengthy, containing 61 chapters but the chapters themselves aren't really but 2-5 pages. It was a good book yet not a complete "easy to read," so I would definitely recommend it to my friend or neighbor.

Before I started writing my blog I read a couple others and I'm having a real hard time choosing between "The Blind Assassin" and "The White Tiger." I was sure I wanted the first one but after reading my friend's blog I believe I might actually want to try out the second, regardless how long it is, because it sounds amazing.

This weekend I'm focusing on: doing all my college applications/finishing them, finishing Hamlet and the worksheet, and going to try to read a book in about 2 days. 
.... Yup. Pretty much sums up my exciting life.
