I love just relaxing and chilling after finals. It's such a breath of fresh air, to go to graduations, play with friends. Perhaps now I can finally sit down with a cup of tea and read a good book-one on my massive book list . My friend has come up to visit me and a mutual friend and I'm so glad we got to hang out! I haven't seen her in over a year, yet our relationship hasn't changed at all(aka none of that awkwardness of being out of touch). I love when that happens, and it makes me feel happy that I can still keep close contacts with friends I haven't seen in a while.

Meanwhile, I've just recently bought Crime and Punishment as well as The Brothers Karamazov(I hear its an excellent book from a reliable source)  from Moe's when we visited yesterday. I think I'm going through a Russian literature phase-I've always loved Russian writers, and thus will be reading them in China (hopefully). 

I love summer time and when school ends. It's just been delightful.

AHHH! I just haphazardly found....the best children's book ever (for me at least)! I totally forgot about it yet when I saw it again, I remembered how much I love love LOVED it as a child. Have any of you ever read The Neverending Story by Michael Ende? Maybe you've seen the movie (which doesn't compare at all to the actual novel!). It was seriously for me the first really long book that I read and that I LOVED (but consequently forgotten after all these years-_-) But then again, I've always loved fantasy and alternate reality/world books too. Particularily as a child because I could pretend to be the mischevous main character that entered these dream worlds-I literally thought it would happent to me as well...I was sorely disappointed so to speak.  YAY another book that I'll be purchasing- I don't care if the age range is 9-12.....I think it can be 12+:) 448 pages of fantastical storytelling:)

I want to start/be a part of a book club! Anyone game? Come on you english majors....you know you want to:p
