Anyway, I've got quite a bit of summer homework. I'm not sure if I addressed the Social Studies assignment in the last post, but it's not all that bad. Just some news watching and questions. As for summer Reading, I've got to read three books and take notes on them. Of course, I want to read them all. So, here's the list of them:
-
Fahrenheit 451 - by Ray Bradbury
-
The Chosen - by Chaim Potok
-
Life of Pi - by Yann Martel
-
A Raisin in the Sun - by Lorraine Hansberry
-
I Capture the Castle - by Dodie Smith
-
Catcher in the Rye - by J.D. Salinger
So in other news, my Dad finally found a boat to buy. We've been out on it a few times, and it's really pretty awesome. I even tried knee boarding. Unfortunately, my upper-body strength isn't good enough to lift my immense weight up on the actual board. Oh well, riding on my belly is fun too. And trust me, it's pretty tough to even do that. I'm sick of being sick of my weight and saying I'll do something about it. Every time I convince myself I'll lose weight and stuff, but I never do. I seriously need to start it soon, though. I remember a few months back I was doing well at going out to jog every day. Oh well, this week, I think I'll do it.

Well, it looks as though you're keeping up with your site better than I do mine, though I appreciate you checking it out. I guess it is safe that you've been exposed to my poorly hidden bias since you're no longer in my class :-).
I'm hoping to get it up and running again with the election season approaching, but it's always a challenge to find enough hours in the day. Looks like you have an interesting summer reading list at least; Farenheight 451 is one of my favorites, though the movie that goes with it is quite aweful.
Let me know how 9th grade goes and feel free to shoot me an email if you need anything.
And on a side note, I was inspired to actually update my blog knowing that people actually read it!
Oh yeah? Well, my Dad just bought Your DAD! How about THAT?! :P
