So easy to look at, so hard to define....*
*From Bob Dylan's song "Sara"
Only a couple weeks left with summer session, and I already can't wait. This class is filled with boredom and bullshit. (I'm sorry, but it's true). The class mainly consists of me typing up letters, memos, and my current project-A 'proposal' to my 'supervisor' for anything I would like to see happen within the 'business'. I chose to base my proposal in a medical office (since this is my major) to convert a manual filing system to an electronic filing system with electronic medical records. Your bored already, right? This project will last until the end of the summer session, with a presentation/slide show to the class @ the end. I just can't wait (ugh).
I finished The Stand, finally. Contradicting everyone else's review of the book-stating it's their 'favorite', I don't think it's one of mine. Sorry, Stand fans. It was good, don't get me wrong. But reading it became a chore, and not very enjoyable towards the end. A good book to me is something I anticipate picking up again, and can't wait to see what happens next. I could have cared less what happened with the two groups of people within the story. I'm glad it's over.
Currently reading 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov. I've been wanting to read it ever since I saw both versions of the film. The book is very disturbing. For those that do not know, It's about a middle-aged man, "Humbert Humbert", who is obsessed with a twelve-year-old nymphet, Dolores Haze a.k.a Lolita. Through unforeseen and tragic events, Lolita and Humbert venture off on a trip all across the United States, where seduction ensues. I'm enjoying it so far, even if it is painful to read at times. I should finish it either tomorrow or Sunday.
I finally found a dress today for my brother,![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
goodguyseatpie , wedding next month. Now all I need are shoes to finish my ensemble, and voila, Sarah is ready for the big day. I'm looking forward to not only witnessing my brother's nuptials, but also the trek to Minnesota. We're renting a car for this trip, and it will take 2 days to get there, 2 days back. I look forward to seeing parts of the country I have yet to see. I am definitely anticipating going to the 'Mall of America'!
I also bought some 'new' books today. Adding books to my personal library is a guilty pleasure of mine. I bought 'Watership Down', 'Jane Eyre' (I had this book, but lost is somehow through the years), 'The World According to Garp', 'Farenheit 451', and 'The Sun Also Rises'. Oh beautiful books, I bask in all your glory. Dear hubby simply rolled his eyes when I came home with my goodies. He knows me too well.
I'll have to find out from Paul and his fiance', Amber, what good used bookstores there are in Minnesota. I'm sure plenty for me to raid :)
Happy 4th to all this weekend.
"Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you're being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth Of July brouhaha, don't forget what you're celebrating, and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes. "
