Counting down the days

Although the school year is coming to a close, it still seems like life times away until we can wake up without worries, homework, or projects. It seems like eternities until we can step outside without a care in the world and breathe in the warm summer air. It almost seems like a far off dream, and only that. I can't imagine a day without a math assignment. It's truly a sad thing to think about. It seems as though the pointless lessons and meaningless projects will just never end. They will just follow us around for the entire rest of our unfair lives, taunting us with their clever tactics that have fooled adults into thinking they are important. It seems almost cruel. So that is why I'm counting down the days, the minutes, the seconds until our beloved summer vacation. I'm overcome with excitement thinking about Harry Potter marathons and picnics. I honestly can't wait to sleep in until whenever I please. I can't wait to not be bossed around by teachers who think we have no life of our own and think it's doing us a favor to give us homework. I am giddy and much looking forward to nights with friends and card games and jumping on the trampoline. It's nearly killing me to think of that awfuly long wait.

A Book to Read

I just had the priveledge to read a book called 'The Looking Glass Wars'. It was a fantastis book filled to the brim with action, adventure, and alternative worlds. Not only is it the story of Alice Kingsley, but it's also the story of the uncovered "truth". As it turns out that's not really how you spell her name, that's not really her family or where she comes from, and that's not really her true identity. Her long lost gardian searches for her for 13 years in hopes of bringing back Wonderland's rightful heir to the throne. An adventure fit for all ages and even has a sprinkle of romance for all of you who like that sort of stuff. I thought it was a great read and could hardly put it down. It captivated me from the very begining and transported me into another fantasy world where imagination is the greatest power and, literally, anything can happen.
