Back to School

School has started again. It is always weird when school starts again. Actually, it is exciting and weird at the same time. Anyway, I am sure I will feel different in a few weeks when all the work for the classes starts to pile up.

Anyway, I have another movie that I recently watched that I think is very interesting - Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. There are some very funny parts in the movie. I highly recommend the movie to everyone.

This Movie I Watched Recently

I like to watch movies. I especially like watching a movie that I haven't seen in a while. I enjoyed recently watching The American President. I have not seen the movie in sometime.

The American President has so many people from West Wing on it. It is really interesting. I like West Wing and watch the show a lot. But this is the first time I have seen The American President since I started watching West Wing. There are a lot of people on both (or show up at some point) on both. Wow. That is pretty cool. I know both are written by the same person - but I think it is really cool. Anyway, that was the most exciting thing I could think to write about right now :)

Run to Your Local Bookstore

Reading is an activity that I really enjoy. During the school year it is difficult to get much pure fun reading done (because of all that homework). Anyway, over the summer I have been reading quite a bit to my surprise. Anyway, I figured that might make an interest blog of sorts.

So here is (a partial list) of my favorite books/authors:

• Amelia Peabody series - these books are about Egypt and archeology. I actually find ancient history very interesting which is the other draw of the series. I have not read all of the books yet - but so far I have liked all the ones I have read .
• Anything by Mary Higgins Clark - I have read all of these and they are good. The first one I read was in high school actually.
• Harry Potter - what list would be complete without included this series?
• Sherlock Holmes - "Come, Watson, come! The game is afoot."
• Limony Snicket - he writes a wonderful series called A Series of Unfortunate Events. This books are very entertaining and an easy read. I know they are designed for children - but it is interesting none the less.
• Princess Diaries Series - I saved this one for last. I have read all of the books at least twice. Anyway, I think it is a great series anyway.
• Lucy Montgomery - she wrote a series of books based on a character named Anne.
• L. Frank Baum - the creater of the land of OZ. These books are charming and can completely take you surprise. Not to mention a totally different world.
  

Vacation = Great

I recently got back from vacation. It was so nice to relax on the warm beaches of Florida. We got back before the storms sweep through Florida - which was a plus. Where did I go in Florida you ask? My family and I went to Amelia Island. It is located in the northern part of Florida. The island is fairly large (they have a Walmart and several grocery stores). Anyway, I thought it was a great vacation. I came back rested and relaxed. However, I am not ready to start school again on Monday - but I don't think I ever am ready to start back ;-)
