I just finished reading The Great Gatsby which I had to read for my English class. I had heard a lot of good things about this book and was looking forward to reading a good book after the previous book, The Ladies’ Paradise, which wasn’t good at all.
But, I have to admit that I just [...]

I took the plunge and bought my first iPod. After having 2 MP3 players, one of which wouldn’t work with my parents’ computer, the other of which started randomly turning off by itself a few weeks ago, I just decided to go with an iPod.
I got the new iPod Nano, in red, because if [...]

Yoon has informed me of a list of 100 books that everyone should supposedly read. It was published by The Big Read.
Here is the list. The titles in bold, I have read. The ones underlined are ones I love. And the ones that are italicized are books I intend to read in the near [...]

Last night one of my roommates and I were bowling on my other roommate’s Wii. We were listening to music on my laptop at the same time and for some strange reason my screen saver came on. It never comes on since I have my laptop in Power Saver mode and it usually just goes [...]

As I promised, I shall now make a post about the books I have to read for English. The one we’re reading right now is called The Ladies’ Paradise by Emile Zola. This particular novel was written in the late 1800’s, in French. It was translated, obviously. It is quite a tedious read, owing to [...]

It seems hard to believe that 9/11/2001 was seven years ago. The years have flown by so fast. I was only 12 then, and in 8th grade.
I remember being in French class and my teacher was getting ready to put in a movie. She was flipping through the channels and paused for a moment at [...]

I am highly considering buying an iPod. Back when iPods were first popular when I was in high school, the things were obscenely expensive and there was no way I could afford one on my $20 a month allowance.

Earlier today, a piece fell off of my cell phone. This is the phone I have had for over two years, the only phone I have ever had. It’s a Nokia 6062 (I think), and it’s quite out of date, but I like it. The part that fell off is this little piece of black [...]

I’ve been at school for a little over a week now and it has been busy! Classes started and I’m already being inundated with reading and homework. I have to read 5 books over the course of the semester for English class alone. Luckily they’re all novels, but still…
It was only the second night when [...]

When we were on vacation, there was a pink wooden bird in the lobby of the main lodge. My siblings and I routinely argued about whether or not the bird is a duck or flamingo. I think it’s a flamingo, but think we should just call it a fluck and be done with it. What [...]
