This time of year is usually, and regrettably, quite an unproductive time. I neither have homework to work on nor a play to rehearse. I have no music to study or even, in my current case, house to clean. I have recently broken two bones in my left foot. I like to look at the bright side of this situation and thank my lucky stars that in happened in the summer. However, I can not stop mentally complaining about how dull it is without the use of your feet.
I spend my uneventful days reading books required for my Honors English II class that quite frankly bore me to tears. There's only so much time I can spend entertaining myself on the computer before I am scolded and told to continue reading. After all, that is one of the only productive things I have found to busy myself with. But how much is there to the story of a preacher's family in the African Congo? Why do the paragraphs and chapters continue on and on about hardships and dirt!? If you like books droning on for forever about Africa then check out the book, The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver. At least Oprah likes it.

I'm sorry aobut your foot.
I recall quite liking that book. Hmm. Have you gotten to the ants yet? That was quite a memorable part.
Yes, the ants were pretty interesting.
That was actually a great book and very well written. I guess anything that you HAVE to read becomes less fun just for the HAVING to do it.
Ugh. Maybe you're right. I mean, there are some parts that I enjoyed. I enjoy the overall story but it just gets so boring and pointless sometimes.
