This Week

So...i have had a crazy week. On monday, my sister came home and we went to the dodger game. On tuesday there was an earthquake! it was so crazy! then i had my first behind-the-wheel class. it was great because i can finally drive. today i went to the beach and julie and katie are spending the night. i am so excited for tomorrow because my mom and i are going to chicks so i can try on my lettermen's jacket and send it in to lettering. i am really happy.

i have been reading this new book, "what does it mean to be human" and i really like it. it is a compilation of essays and philosophies of different people's definition of what they think it means to be human. it's cool because it has really smart people, but it also has regular people. the people range from scientists to homemakers, musicians to college professors. i really like it. it has the dalai lama, elie weisel, jewish rabbis, a bunch of people. the best part is i get to write down what i think each author means by what they say. i have to write a journal entry about each one stating whether i agree or disagree. i really like that because my ultimate goal in life is to tell others how i feel and the fact that i get to write it all down and my teacher can read it really drives me up the wall.

i finally finished "the great gatsby". UGH! i hated it...to say the least.
