Last week I blogged about how I want to have a class outside sometime before I graduate…and this is somewhat of a continuation of that blog.  It might sound strange…and it kind of is.  So first, there are a few things that you need to understand.

1. I never have free time.
2. I read so much for class that I am usually burnt out on anything in book form.
3. Since I don’t have free time and I read a lot more than I would like to already, I never read books.

I know, this is really sad.  I used to love to read…back in my Accelerated Reader days in Elementary School.  Then school kicked it up a notch and I haven’t had time to read ever since.  Sometimes I will read books over breaks though, like over Thanksgiving when I read The Help, or over Spring Break when I read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.  I really loved reading both of these….and it made me realize that I actually do like reading…so I should probably try it more often.  Hence, my new senior year goal….to read a book on the mall.

Since I am so used to spending my only free time napping or watching TV, the first step will be to just read.  Then, once I get into that a little bit more…I might be able to drag myself off of my futon…and I’ll go outside.  I know, it sounds like a next to impossible task (and it really is), but I think that I can do it.  At least once…maybe??  Perhaps if I just remind myself of how much I loved reading on the beach over break, then it will be easier.  I can try at least, I guess?

My favorite reading spot... on my Vera Bradley towel... of course.
