Busy Busy

I know I haven't posted in like a month.. and I think that sucks. I've been so busy though it's hard to sit down and write about it. I've had a lot of planning to do with my graduation party and invites, plus work has been crazy because of The Hunger Games coming out (I loved this movie by the way, even with reading the books). I've also been heavily anticipating my dance recital, and I want every move to be perfect since it's my last year doing it.

What brought me to post today though is that I just finished the book Looking For Alaska by John Green. It's an excellent and emotional YA book. I absolutely loved it and would recommend it any day.

Looking for Alaska

My favorite quote from this book: "The Buddha said that suffering was caused by desire, we'd learned, and that the cessation of desire meant the cessation of suffering. When you stopped wishing things wouldn't fall apart, you'd stop suffering when they did."

I got this book from Chapter 1 Book Store in our mall (the only actual book store in Aberdeen where you can buy new books) which I'm very sad to say is closing soon because of the business loss to ebooks.. I guess the only good thing about book stores closing is that you can get cheap new books, which I can say that I will be fully indulging in despite my already towering pile of books.
