Books

I rarely think about anything that I would consider worthwhile, or at least, embarrassing enough to write for you blogger friends. That is why I am so slack about updating this thing, although in my mind, i have high expectations for what it would potentially someday be - totally personalized, completely cute, full of witty stories from my thrilling life, and eventually video friendly. To give you insight into why it is not like that already, i need only say three words: youth ministry major.
Unfortunately, i am falling into the category of a slacker youth min. major, something that i swore i would never become, but sadly have. My normally clean but crazy room is never clean, i honestly can't remember the last time i cleaned it, my homework is never done, i'm late for class, and i spend all of my time watching Fringe on Hulu. By the way, friends, Fringe is amazing.

However, I feel like in the past i've been pretty good about keeping up with things like my own personal journals (yes, i kept more than a few of them), and i'll be sharing some pieces from my first journal, of any substance, that is - relatively speaking. Beforehand, something that I found when i was looking for my journals is my list of books that i read for two is years. I had a plan, at one time, to read 52 books in 52 weeks. The plan merged into 26 books in 52 weeks, thinking that i wouldn't have enough time to read a book a week and keep up with school. Little did i know that i would actually read 40 books in 52 weeks. Sad that i came so close but couldnt quite finish. Anyhow, here is my list, much more extended since the year finished in 2007.
