I was really productive. Plus I worked a lot. I worked a couple shifts with this girl named Katie and she's nice but we didn't really talk. About anything. Which is horrible because I'm a gauche person and at times the silence was kind of awkward...Everything we said to each other had something to do with the weather. Any time I talked with her, she would say how it's cloudy, windy, sunny, etc. Whenever we had these mini conversations about the weather, I sat there thinking about Gwendolyn Fairfax from The Importance of Being Earnest. Someone mentions the weather to her and she remarks, "I do not like it when people talk about the weather. It always seems as if they have something else to say." It just made me laugh in a weird, nerdy way.
I should probably get started on my summer reading for AP Lang instead of Dashiell Hammett detective novels. We'll see how it goes.

I kind of feel like a failed reader. I haven't read anything all summer. But at the library today I got Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour by JD Salinger (<3), Blindness by Jose Saramago - the book Mr. M was talking about in English, The Plague by Albert Camus for Quiz Bowl, and The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson because her short stories are awesome.
That was a very long sentence. Do you think I'll like The Great Gatsby? I want to read it soon.
I think you read The Great Gatsby in eleventh English. But I don't know if you'd like it. Probably...not? I'm not sure. I'm horrible at recommending books or anything like that for people. You might like it but when you read it, let me know!
