Finals and Other News

Wow, its been a while since I posted anything. Sorry about that...

So anyway, two finals down, two to go! Luckily one of my English finals was due weeks ago so I don't have to worry about it now. And I finished my Journalism final and turned it in on Monday.

Now all that's left is another English paper and a Greek final on Friday (that one is just not going to go well no matter what but its ok because I don't need the class).

I should probably be working on those right now but instead I'm informing you that I need to be working on them... 0.o...

I have one book to report on:

The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks

I'm continuing with my Sparks fetish and this was a good one to end the semester with. There was some suspense, of course a good love story and dead people! I've always thought that a book is not really all that good if there are no dead people. That probably comes from my love of Mary Higgins Clark where theres always at least one dead person if not several. Anyway, good book with a nice vengeful ending that made me smile.

In other news:
I was watching a B20 video when John mentioned the fact that NBC is bringing back American Gladiators. This is probably due to the writers strike and lack of new material but seriously people, American Gladiators? Really? Are you serious? Please tell me you're kidding! You're not? Oh man, thats just wrong...

In other, other news:
I'm coming home in on Monday!!!!!!! That's only 5 days from now... AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya, I'm pretty excited. I still have finals to finish, presents to buy and wrap, a room (and desk) to clean, laundry to do and a suitcase to pack. Should prove to be fun.

In more other news:

More Books!

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green

My SIGNED copy of the book. I didn't finish it until after he signed it but thats not the point. The book was funny and different but definitely written for young adults. It was a nice, relaxing and humorous read that did point out a lot of issues that teenagers deal with. It was good times.

The Anastasia Syndrome by Mary Higgins Clark

I have always loved Mary Higgins Clark and this was another good one. Its a novella so it only took about four hours to listen to and the ending was well worth it. I can't tell you what happened, you just have to read it (or listen to it).

True Believer by Nicholas Sparks

Nicholas Sparks never fails in making me cry (or at least tear). This was no exception.

The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith

This was a very different kind of book that I did enjoy. I'm looking forward to reading the next one in the series.

I know that there isn't a lot of description but I don't have too much time. All were good books that I would recommend anyone who may be interested in them.

Go books!

I <3 John Green (In a fan-of-his-books-and-vlog kinda way)

YEAH!!! Today I got to see and meet John Green! He signed my books and everything! He gave a speech on "How We Are Connected" and it was very good and inspiring. He talked about the ways text connect people and who it connects. It was something I had never thought before and was intriguing to me as someone who wants to be a writer. Of course, he was funny and made several Nerdfighter references that had the Nerdfighters in the crowd giggling.

Yeah John Green! We'll see if I end up in tomorrow video... *fingers crossed*
John signing my books

John and I with my sign. I like how the arrow thats suppose to be pointing to John, isn't... : )

NERDFIGHTERS!
