So let's just call this the Summer of Reading.
For some odd reason, I can't stop buying books this summer. I just finished V for Vendetta (my first graphic novel) and am wondering what to start next.
Here are my options:
Kurt Vonnegut-Deadeye Dick
Stephen Colbert- I Am America (And So Can You!)
Tim Burton- Burton on Burton
Marjane Satrapi- The Complete Persepolis
Franz Kafka-The Trial
Christopher Buckley-Supreme Courtship
Rob Bell- Sex God
Rob Bell- Drops Like Stars
Scott Turow- One L
Where oh where to start?
In other news, I have been really looking forward to the future lately. This year is going to be a great one, I have a very rooted set of friends, a new place, (tons of new books), new classes, I'm getting more involved in organizations on campus, and am working on some amazing music for my junior recital. All of these things are only for this year, but I can't help but be excited about the long road as well. I've decided that I am dead set on going to law school and am really excited about where it will take me.
I think I want to get more involved in photography. Lately, I have been trying to figure out some fine details about my camera so I can take great shots without having to buy an expensive point and shoot (digital SLR). I've also been messing around with Photoshop lately and could see myself working on some photography projects that I could possibly blow up and hang on the wall.
This blog post has been all over the place (as is my mind), but I wanted to end on some great news I found out today. I will be seeing Switchfoot live for the first time on August 13th and I could not be more excited. This concert will be different for me than others, however, because Jon Foreman's (lead singer) music has had such a powerful effect on my life and if I got the chance to meet him, I could only thank him for his gift. His solo Four Seasons albums has been a piece of music I have connected with during my aunt's last days in the hospital and on my search to be a loving follower of Christ.
Off to read!
Go with Colbert or Kafka. Or both, at once. I can't wait to move into Jefferson! We have many good times ahead.
ReplyDeletegood pick, I started with Colbert last night!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you're going to see Switchfoot! I'm so jealous. Thank Jon Foreman for me too. For being so real and putting it all out there. His music is inspiring and it means more to me than just about any other artist out there.
