Finally Finished The Fellowship....

The Fellowship of the Ring, J.R.R. Tolkien- The book about a journey was certainly a journey to read. They went through an epic and time consuming journey, so did I. They had trials and battles.. SO. DID. I. The battle to stay awake while reading this was a hard one to beat, but I finally finished The Fellowship... in 3 weeks, the longest time it has taken me this whole summer to read a book. It was boring in some parts (meaning detailed...very detailed...etc.) and those are the parts that put me to sleep, even though I was ready to read and even through the most exciting parts, I found myself fighting to stay awake. Now that I have FINALLY finished this, I feel like I should read The Two Towers... because I'm sucked into the whole series and want to know how it ends (the movies would butcher the whole experience for me. THEY ADDED THAT STUPID ELF CHICK!! How stupid...). These books cannot stand alone and need each other for the complete story...that is the only reason I'm going on to read The Two Towers. But... will I take a break or dive right into this... well...... since I've got The Two Towers right next to me, I might as well start... if I can stay awake.

Yes, this (and my first entry thingy) was copied right from my note on Facebook. But yes, this book literally put me to sleep. Yes, I did like the story. Yes, I did find it interesting... but it was boring as f#%k...in some parts (coughcoughThecouncilofElrondchaptercoughcough). There were only certain parts that actually interested me in this book...and though Tolkein's writing style is... very detailed...and sleep inducing... I did like the book. Like I said...almost exactly as my thoughts (but not on here...but is right there ->): The battle was staying awake through this book... I couldn't even take 15 mins of this book without feeling like I needed to sleep... BUT I ACTUALLY LIKED THE BOOK!! (So don't get mad at me, people who like Lord of the Rings). Soooo...yeah... I suppose I'll start The Two Towers now... (no, I'm not waiting for YOU... but YOU better start reading...)

Five Years Have Gone By

A little summary of what's happened The happenings Graduated college with my degree in 2015. It seems to be pretty useless because I haven't even really used it for anything in my field. It's usually just,  OH, YOU HAVE A DEGREE! You don't have to take this test!" "Oh, you were a Psyc major? Do you wanna be a therapist? DO YOU ANALYZE PEOPLE?! Can you tell what I'm thinking right now? Can you save my family?!? Do you know why these people act this way?!" No, I don't know why they act that way. I don't even know why I act the way I do... and I'm not going to pay a thousands just to go back and hate it.. so no thanks. College also brought out some health issues, most notably migraines and bloody noses. MSG is an evil that's everywhere. Coaching Coaching high school was a blast compared to working with the elementary school kids. I didn't have to do keep high schoolers entertained for 5 hours. And the runners wanted to BE THE

9 More thoughts plus side thoughts

Okay, so it's been about 11 weeks since I've been on here and typed up my opinions, and I'm sure you guys liked that break. But now that the quarter's over, there's a TON of stuff that I have to comment on (or so I thought). I was actually thinking of doing a compare and contrast of my Sophomore years...but that's a little too personal for this bloggy thingy, so I guess I won't do that...list form sounds good. Lists are awesome. I don't really know why I like lists so much, but I put everything into lists or bullet points... weird, right?! These winter holidays. I also complained about this last year too, I know that for a fact, but seriously: These large corporations are squeezing the "joy" out of the holidays by putting up ad after ad after ad after ad....not after Thanksgiving, but weeks before. They have also made "Black Friday" start literally right after everyone's Thanksgiving dinner...good thing my family isn't in

Mourning is a strange thing

I keep on thinking to myself: You're sure she's not just sleeping? You're sure she's not just in the hospital? Are you sure? Are you sure you're sure? But you saw what you saw and that was that coffin going into the ground with her body in it and everyone threw roses and carnations into the grave five feet under ground... It really hasn't sunk in, has it? I'm going on with my life, and I think about you more than I have in the past couple years- because I took you for granted. I always thought you would live to see all your grandchildren get into their 30s. I always thought you'd be there to watch me get married; to fix my wedding gown; to watch ME...us... live our lives. To be there to babysit your great-grand-kids like you babysat your grandkids...me. My brother. My cousins. I can't help but think about all the things you did for me; like the things I said in the last entry. Teaching me little bits of Tagalog. Helping me with my homework...cooking
