As Promised: A Review of Crossed (because everyone was looking forward to it)

So I only put up the Inheritance review a couple days ago. So what? I already finished Crossed , and have opened another book-- barely opened another book: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo . Not because there is a movie out, but because my mom just happened to get it last Christmas and never finished it. Maybe I'll read it this Christmas and never finish it. Who knows? For the sake of reviewing, I'll start off with Matched first, since I didn't really go over that last summer: Matched . My stereotypical girl book: A journey (or sorts) with a romance. I always seem to find those types of books. This girl lives in an "advanced" place called The Society, where everything is calculated and predicted and all the type of thing. This girl named Cassia is going to be "matched" to a supposedly random dude and they will go through the stages of being "matched" and eventually help to keep The Society alive. When Cassia finds someone else's pictur

A Thank You, and Inheritance Review!

 I would like to start off with a thank you to my 8th grade teacher. If it wasn't for him, I would not have started writing in my "Comments Journal" or this blog… that no one really reads… I doubt I would even be comfortable commenting on anything on this blog or anywhere if not for him. Soooo… THANK YOU! You have made a commenter/ writer out of me. Yesterday I finished reading Chris Paolini's Inheritance . It was probably the best book out of the whole series; I don't remember being so excited about a book from the series or liking another book from that series that much. Though the beginning of Inheritance was pretty boring, once I got past the boring siege of the place I forgot the name of, it got interesting. What I liked about this one is that Paolini goes back and forth between Eragon and Roran, then the Varden (and Eragon) and Roran, then Eragon and Nasuada, and so on. I think that was what kept me interested through the whole book: the switching back and

My Thoughts on the Christmas Season...and Inheritance! ^__^

People that have talked to me know that the day before Thanksgiving, I complained about how they played Christmas music, even though it was really a month away (and every day after that. It's really annoying, and it's kind of killing the Christmas spirit for me. That's why I only listen to my grandpa's Christmas cd...and the various other ones we have at home. The least the radio stations and shops can do is not play Christmas music until the week before... geeeze. They're trying to kill me...even though I like Christmas music). It's like the commercialization of Christmas has changed everything. It has made people crazy about buying things on Black Friday and Cyber Monday and turned people into Christmas gift shopping maniacs. It has made Christmas all about the gifts, instead of the time that should be spent with family, as well as the time that the family should be celebrating Jesus's birth (Ionlyputthatpartinbecauseofmyreligion). Christmas has become so

One Quarter Down... about... 15 more to go.

I had my last final today. It was Algebra. Like... high school algebra. Like.... a combo of Freshman year math, and Junior year math. Yeah, I'm dumb. Math 900. Remedial. My other two were on Monday and last Thursday. There's a tale about the Thursday one, but I don't think you guys are really that interested... cuz it's more of a "me tale." And I'm not counting Tuesday as a final cuz that was a BBQ...Oh well.... anywhoos... Many things have happened this first quarter of college (typed the h in high school. XD). I made it through my first quarter of college alive and with some pretty interesting friends (to say the least) and kinda wished some of  the old ones were still around (even though I was betrayed by some and am probably better off without those betrayers... and now I'm used to being without certain others). I've learned the ways of the college shuttle and BART (esp BART. omcheese.) and that the campus is like a rectangle. There are no sh
