Miss Austen I Hardly Knew Ye!

So normally when asked what i like to read i respond accordingly, "If its romantic, epic, and the occasional super/preternatural aspect to it and the text doesn't look like it was written for a fifth grade comprehension, then i more than likely love it."

When selecting a book of literary merit for my AP English Literature & Composistion class the pickings get a little slimmer and since i'm super clingy i'm in trouble. lol So from reading around i've discovered Charles Dickens bores me unless its some new christmas special on "A Christmas Carol", Dostoyevsky whats to say, you may be an amazing writer with an interesting backstory and you may appeal to almost everyone who reads your works, I'm not one of those people, F. Scott Fitzgerald........I like you, and the list goes on but in all my searching I have yet to pick up a book by the reknowned Jane Austen, I don't know what it is, i just never gravitated towards her work. So that in mind I never watched the films. Until last night, I watched The Jane Austen Book Club and so with that i went to my school library and picked up "Persuasion" and "Sense and Sensibility".

Turns out i love her so far, we just have to see where this goes........;]

15 minutes

So 15 minutes doesn't seem like a long period of time for a lot of people. But its long enough to make a sandwich, write down a couple of notes, make some jokes, etc. For others this amount of time has a much darker significance. Every 15 minutes of everyday a teenager dies in an accident that is the direct result of drugs/alcohol. Today at school we had an assembly and other demonstrations about it. Its sobering to think about really. When you talk to teenagers and they tell you all about the crazy stunts they do, it gives off the idea that we feel invincible. And for the most part we believe it too. So seeing and hearing about something so close to us brings in the reality that, we are vulnerable and and some of us , unfortunately, won't stand the test of time. Just reflecting back on everything just puts a lot of things into perspective for me. I mean i already understood what it means to lose and live a life but still........ idk its a lot to think about. I mean since we're on the topic of death, i remembered my first funeral it was my cousins' he died in a drunk driving accident. So this day is very important to me.
