I am so relived that school is over for the quarter. It wrapped up really well and went smoothly. I am so anxious to see my grades but I have to wait about another week...
I am flying to Maryland on Monday for a little over 2 weeks. I can't wait. It will be so nice to see my parents and sister, and pets! I haven't seen the pets or my mom in 1 year! Crazy, that shouldn't be allowed.
183 more days until GRADUATION!!!
It is wet and cold outside today. I have zero plans besides hanging out and watching movies.
Recently I have been listening to audio books. Most recently are Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali- I came upon this book because I was researching for a school project that I worked on all quarter regarding female genital mutilation. I was in a Global Inequalities class and I chose FGM as my topic.... Anyway, I came across this book because Ali was excised when she was a young girl in Somalia. But the book isn't all about that, basically Ali wrote a memoir about her life which starts when she is about 5 years old in Somalia and progressing throughout the course of her life to about 2006, in her 30's in Holland. She becomes a politician.
I chose to listen to it on audio book because I have a hard time focusing sometimes when I am reading. Also I enjoy being able to multitask, like washing dishes or organizing something. Washing dishes isn't hardly as bad if my mind is following a compelling story.
Ali reads the book as well which I really like. this is my top book suggestion of the day.
Now I am listening to The Golden Compass because a friend of mine gave me the book about a year ago and I still have not read it. And I am listening to Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen. So far this book has started slow but I like it. It is one of the NYtimes best sellers so I keep telling myself it must be good. Finally I am starting to feel really interested like I have to find out what happens next. I am about 4 disks in out of 10.
Well that's all for today! I am so trilled to be done with school!!!
