Aurevoir les Vacances d'Hiver

If you haven't noticed, my posts are becoming shorter. Despite my previous mention for want of shorter posts, I miss the old length mine used to carry. It made them seem.... more important and worthwhile I guess. Well, I guess not too much can be expected since over the course of winter break, I have been having difficulty finding things to blog about. As you can tell by the date above, I am cutting it close- tonight I cherish the few hours of break I have left. Over break I didn't actually do much reading. I finished Speak, as I blogged about earlier, and also the Royal Diary book, Princess of Versailles. The latter was not very good, but it did help me a bit in my understanding about the French Revolution and the Austria's role in it. My outside reading project is going so-so. I've started it, but barely. Thus far I have a rough outline. I'm very glad it is not due until Friday, for I must as they say "get back in the swing of things". Sure, I had plenty of time to work on it over break, but I've had better things to do. Such as playing Trauma Center: New Blood on my new Wii, or watching the movie Aquamarine countless times, and then forcing my friends to watch it with me. I got the movie over break as a gift from my best friend, and as have not stopped thinking about it since. For some reason this movie has stuck to my heart. It is light, romantic, and funny. But I think the real reason is that the two best friends' relationship in the film is similar to the one I share with mine, and that is something speacial that I will never get sick of watching.
