I finished reading Falling Leaves sometime last week. I thought it was a pretty good book. I wasn’t always enthralled, but it was definitely worth reading. It is a pretty amazing story when you consider that it is a true one. That woman went through so many ordeals in her life. I can’t imagine I could have done something with myself after experiencing the things she has, yet she has accomplished far more than most have. I may buy her other book. I’m not sure yet.
I’m reading Life of Pi right now. I’ve just started it, but I’m already laughing and extremely intrigued. This one is going to be a good one. It had me looking up sloths on the internet this morning, if that gives you any idea of its strangeness. By the way, sloths are so cool. They are perhaps one of the cutest animals, and also one of the most interesting. I like the idea that they are some sort of eternally happy enlightened beings puttering around in the trees oblivious to all of our nonsense.
I had a bad dream the other day. It was pretty horrible. It involved my sister dying during an explosion. Blood was pouring out of her ears so quickly and we couldn’t stop it. There was nothing we could do. I woke up with a start and I was very relieved. I don’t know why I had that dream…maybe there isn’t a reason. I think I had been talking to my mom earlier about my sister, and how she was doing in school, etc. That may be why.
I can’t think of anything else to say other than the fact that we switched from the whole learning Italian thing to learning Spanish instead, which I prefer. We’ve caught up to the same point we were at in Italian, and hopefully we’ll make progress slowly but surely. Anyway, I’d better get to work.
