DADDY, WERE DOWN!!! (blogger goes down)

Last night I attempted to blog only to find that the site was down! Actually, the real story goes like this: I was up in my room playing Coin Dozer on my iPod at like 10:15 when all of a sudden I remembered that I had forgotten to blog. I quick ran downstairs to my computer. Instead of going straight to the blogger website like a good student would, I decided to quick check my Twitter. While scanning the "twitter feed" I discovered that Liz Rohde (@jizzofliz) had tweeted that the blogger website was down. Then I went to bed. I didn't even check. That's how dedicated I am :)

ANYWAYSSSS>>>>>I finished the book "When It Happens" and we also started reading The Scarlet Letter for English Class. I honestly don't really like The Scarlet Letter. I mean, I understand the story line and all, but I hate the old English grammar because I'm too lazy to try to figure out the metaphors used. I watched the movie Easy A (which is supposedly based off this book....ITS NOT!) and it is nothing like this book. The only resemblence is the A. Seriously.

I really enjoyed this project. I think that its a good idea to encourage kids to read. I also like how it tied in the technology part. I suppose if you're not tech. savvy and you don't like reading, you probably hated this project. I, on the other hand, am a pretty good reader and I love working with computers so I really liked this project. I liked that we were able to choose the books that we read. Because, as previously mentioned in my other posts, I enjoy shallow books about teenage love with no point.

Overall, my favorite book that I read was, "Forget You." (not the song by Ceelo Green)

THEME

So, I finished the book Forget You in like 3 days. I stayed up until midnight one night reading. Books make me do things I normally would not do...anyways...That book was about a girl who gets into a car accident and doesnt remember what happened the night before and the through out the book she's trying to gather together bits and pieces of information of what actually happened that night. It was probably my favorite book I have read for that project.

Now I am reading a book called When It Happens. This book was recommended to me by Aimee. It is really good also. It's about this super smart girl and the her relationships. Basically, she was dating this super popular guy who turned out to be a jerk, but then this sort-of-loserish guy who's in a band. Now the book is basically about this girl who's a senior and her relationships. Im on page 221 out of 310 :)

I think that the theme of my book (when it happens) is don't judge a book by its cover. In the beginning of this book, Sara would never have thought about dating Tobey. He was a slacker and she was a straight A student. He was definitely not her type. But, he starts talking to her and he's really funny so they go on a date & the rest is history.

I believe this is the last blog post of this project and I'm sad to say the I did not keep up with Strusz :( BUT I did read more than 20 hours so I think will get an A :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
