Excitement...

I am overwhelmingly excited that after this week I will be able to read more "fluff" books.

My American Government class ends on Thursday, and I will no longer have to read a chapter a night on an aspect of the government. It's been somewhat informative. Ok, really I think I have taken a lot away from the class. I feel a little more informed when I am reading the newspaper or watching the news on television. However, it has not given me any desire to do more than what I normally do. And I could still care less about politics.

But because I am devoting so much time to this class, I have not done any recreational reading. I plan on remedying this in July. I'll have almost 3 hours between classes on Mondays and Wednesdays. It is enough time to go back to my apartment, but it's 20 minutes from campus, and I don't really feel like wasting the gas. I'll pack a lunch/snack and head to the library.

I have no idea how I will decide what to read, but I plan on expanding my reading world a little. I am sure I'll be able to find a summer reading list somewhere. And I will definitely ask for suggestions.

You have no idea how exciting this is to me. I LOVE to read. I love escaping into books. My favorite book is To Kill A Mockingbird. I have read it at least 3 times. I enjoy that book so much. I even enjoyed the movie with Gregory Peck.

I am so excited about reading!!
