One Week Later...


I'm still reading the Mysteries of Udolpho and just got to the part where they mention Udolpho. Been busy with other stuff so I've only read 1-2 chapters a night. eh. I like Romance of the Forest better.

I've also been watching old telenovelas. La Usurpadora...I want to make an english version of this! Although America probably wouldn't watch it haha. So I say BBC. haha.

Done with the semester...so now summer break : )

I went to the beach the other day. first time in a year! : )

What the What!

NEW RESTORED VERSION OF PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AVAILABLE APRIL 27TH. I ALREADY ORDERED MINE.

April...

(sidenote: my room on a sunny day)

Brought many a good things. For some reason reading Austen has helped balance mon vie un petite. Though a couple days ago I had to deal with high school jazz...glad I don't have to deal with that on a day to day basis.

I was surprised by how many people wished me a happy birthday even if it was just because they saw it was my birthday. It was nice. So much has changed in one year. This is the second year in a row where things have gotten better than the previous year. 2008 was eww to summarize it. 2009 was all about enlightment. I can go into detail but I have already in my head and on some journal entry. I thought I needed people in my life but I don't which made me see how many good people are around me. If people don't like you oh well...if I don't like someone oh well...move on.

Anyhoo, I am almost done with Pride and Prejudice. I swear I re-read every page twice. The story is oh so wonderfully intense. Not going to lie...I do think of Colin Firth when Darcy says something.

I don't know which book to read next...should I read Jane Eyre or start Shakespeare? I also have Ann Radcliffe.
