Concussion

On Friday morning, I hit my head against a metal ledge when standing up in the school hallway, which resulted in another concussion. While still feeling a bit dizzy today, Monday, I'm quite used to this sort of pain, because I am quite accident prone. I only had a total of four hours of sleep since Thursday night, and sitting here blogging, I am absolutely exhausted, and all I want to do is curl up at home and sleep. Sadly, that just isn't possible, seeing as I've missed so much school due to illness and I have a bowling match after school. Well, it's almost time to go! And it's almost lunch time! =]

Why Is It a Sin To Read For Fun?

I believe that any form of reading is good for you, and unlike what was said in the article about some books being better for you than others, I believe that only you know what books are good for you, you should read the ones that you enjoy. Reading is more enjoyable if you find a book that holds your interest, or even if it's on a topic that interests you, such as sports or music.

Only you know what kind of book is right for you, and following the crowd and reading popular titles such as Twilight may not be what's right for you. The more well written the book is, and the more interesting the plotline, the more likely you are to read it.

I don't believe that it is a sin for fun, and contrary to popular belief, I don't think that novels today are taking away from classic literature, it's just that the generation today has more appreciation for current day novels.

Winter Break

This past winter break was probably the most eventful one, thus far. I was hardly ever home and never without plans. We had sleepovers every night, went bowling and to the movies and had an all around great time every day.

The weather was always cold, perfect for hot chocolate and cuddling in front of the fireplace, watching movies and talking. Not a lot of sleep was had, which makes starting school up again difficult.

Most nights I spent at the houses of my best friends and other nights they spent at my house. I didn't see much of my brothers or parents over break being as busy as I was, but I always kept in touch with phone calls, emails, and texts.

My friends and I sang and danced and played board games, anything to keep us occupied. We watched an entire season of LOST in one night and played intense rounds of Frisbee Golf on the wii at 5 o'clock in the morning.

We stayed out of trouble, and had fun with the little money we each had.

Overall, this past winter break was amazing, and I'm sad to see it end. But now I have s0mething to look forward to... the weekend.
