The title does not even begin describe how screwed I am. Throughout my whole summer vacation, I have put off reading the summer assignment. I guess it was because was busy tracking down other reads, which didn’t work out so well since my library didn’t carry any of the books I wished to read.
My times at my local library sucked even though it’s the main one in the borough. (A borough is synonymous to a county for those of you that do not live in New York City.) The library didn’t have Paint it Black (Janet Fitch), My Lobotomy (Howard Dully), Loose Girl (Kerry Cohen), Golden Ass (Apuleius), nor did it have the movie, Perdita Durango, which is sometimes known as Dance with the Devil. However, I did happen to find The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. It was well written, as expected, but you obviously need a very poetic imagination to understand all of it. Anyway, I digress… A LOT.
The mandated read is Mountains Beyond Mountains. Up until three or two days ago, I finally gave in and ordered a number of books on my wishlist on Barnes and Noble and Mountains Beyond Mountains of course. The issue at large right now is that I start school in seven hours and it does not ship until the ninth, which means I probably won’t receive it in the mail until next week… most probably Tuesday or Wednesday.
Anywho, I take full responsibility for this avoidable screw up. Plus, it’s impossible to blame it on something else. Right now, I can only hope that someone who has already finished the book, lend it to me for the long weekend and wait for Mountains Beyond Mountains to arrive in the mail. That is all. *sigh*
I do not get many letters, e-mails, tweets, cards, comments, etc. Actually, I get next to nothing. Scratch that, I get nothing. I love getting receiving letters and cards. Honestly, it’s the only reason I love the holiday season. I love getting something written sincerely, whether it be good or bad. The fact that I do not get anything of this sort is probably why I am so terrible at writing essays and letters that need personal touches.
