In 2009, summer begins on June 21st. Fortunately, I am just in time to begin my first summer read. Over the last nine months my thirst for non-academia related texts has reached a pinnacle. I have been overwhelmed with my assigned reading and my pleasure reading is long overdue. In order to get back into the swing, I have decided to do a rereading of an old favorite. That book is Garth Nix's novel Sabriel. This book has been in my collection for years and I unabashedly admit that it may be one of my favorite series. If anything else, it will serve as a warm up for my summer reads.
With summer in mind, I'm trying to decide how to live my summer. I originally planned to hunker down for battle by working full-time and studying for a standardized test. I'm beginning to recognize that while these tasks will take a significant amount of my time, they are not how I hope to recall my 21st summer. For that reason I am living by the motto: Life's too short to not do what you want. I am going to take advantage of opportunities that arise, get excited and get out. And I sincerely hope that you do the same.
Here's to summer.
