I have just finished reading Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. For now I will keep my writing short because I need to return the book to the library, but hope to return and say a bit more at a later date. When I began reading this book I was unsure if I would like it and was really rather indifferent to it until I had a read a decent portion of it. As the date of its needed return to the library grew nearer I became a more aggressive reader and read it basically whenever I was able to, only being prevented by the visiting of my grandparents and my sports. As I have now finished it I am willing to say that I am happy that I chose to read it. I enjoyed it. I think what made it rather intriguing to me was the possibility of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy being together. I believe their possible relationship was what held my attention the most.
As I previous said, I liked Pride and Prejudice quite a bit, although it took some time to really grab my attention. So while I doubt most guys would find it very interesting I do believe some girls would like it. If you are ever in need of something to read, I would recommend reading it.

Oh ya...
...I was messing around the the settings and what not of this blog site and I added a survey thing that can be found on the right side of my page that you should answer for me. Please & thanks! You'll be like on of my favorite people of you do. ;)
S-U-M-M-E-R-!
I hope everyone is having an awesome summer, mine has not been to shabby. As most of my friends know, my summers as mostly filled with volleyball and softball as well as Mr. Hagenow's workouts. This summer I am not only playing in the community softball league, but I am also playing on a travel team...so I am playing many many more games than I am used to. I would have to say that I have been enjoying my summer so far for the most part. It took me a little while to actually get started with my reading, but I am currently on my second book (probably need to pick it up a little bit more though). Along with my sports and reading I have been doing a decent amount of nothing. I like to go watch Jared race on Saturday nights, that is if the rain does not spoil the fun by making them get cancelled :( . Today was rather interesting... I left my house shortly after 6:30, just in time for it to start pouring, headed for one of many softball games I was supposed to have today. I do not really care all that much for rain, especially today because it ruined my plans; however it probably turned out for the better because I actually started to do stuff with this blogging experience. Oh I also tackled the thought of cleaning my bedroom yesterday (mainly because my grandparents are coming into town and mom said I had to), I was rather surprised at how I did. I was able to clear my floor of my usual layer of clothes, which I tend to aquire because I do not really care for dreasers [[...is it just me, or do they seem annoying to anyone else??...I mean you put you clothes in them on top of all the others and then you can never find anyting without making a mess out of your drawers... I guess I just prefer to have things hanging in my closet or on the floor where they are easily accesible to me.]]. Now that my room is clean I must try to keep it clean until and through my grandparents' stay, wish me luck. ;) Sooo, now that I have rambled on, I am sure I left something out that I had intended to include, but oh well.
Hope your summers are going amazingly. See some of you soon and the rest in August. :)

Not Too Bad
I did not think that I was going to like this whole blogging thing, but I kind of enjoy looking at other people's blogs and what my fellow classmates (and p-dise) have had to say about them. As of yet I still have not gotten used to the whole writing the blogs myself, but that is probably because this is only my second blog ever and my first one was written less than an hour ago. So I hope to catch on soon and will try not to procrastinate with my blogging experience as much as of I have so far.
New To This
Okay, so I am not really much a blogger so I do not really know what I am supposed to do or say on here. That is why I haven't blogged about anything yet, because I do not know what to do. So here goes nothing... summer is coming to an end. I have finished reading one of my books, The Color Purple, and am about half way through the next one, Pride and Prejudice. I am trying to buckle down with my reading and am getting better at not putting it off to do other stuff. I hope that our class goes well this year and to get a good start I need to finish my reading and write my papers.
