I'm going to Germany this summer! I'm very excited! I'm going in August.

See? I'm jumping for joy.

This Past Week

This past week was actually really nice. I read The Importance of Being Earnest, The Great Gatsby, The Maltese Falcon, The Dain Curse, and The Glass Key. The Maltese Falcon is now one of my favorite books (definitely top ten) and The Importance of Being Earnest was really entertaining. Both come highly recommended from myself. The Great Gatsby was actually interesting, especially to see Fitzgerald's interpretation on the jazz age.

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.
