Reading: I
finished The Fault In Our Stars by John Green this weekend. The second
half of the book was better than the first half because of the powerful situation
involving Hazel and Augustus and their immense love for one another. Chills ran
down by back after I finished the last page of this book which demonstrates the
impact it had on my life and life as a reader. Green blew me away with the
realism infused within these characters, and I imagine this type of love affair
happens every day somewhere in this world.
Watching: I saw
Cloud Atlas in IMAX on Friday night!! I’d give it four and a half stars because
the graphics were simply astounding as well as the perfect acting across the board. Even though the story lines were hard to
follow I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this movie since the IMAX created an movie experience I will never forget. After I sat in the theater for almost three
hours and watched Tom Hanks and Halle Berry morph into several characters, I am
determined to read this book, whether that be over winter break or over the
summer. I would definitely recommend seeing this movie if you find yourself
sitting at home on a weekend with nothing to do.
Eating: Sunday
afternoon the Spartan Alliance Band held its annual celebratory potluck in the
cafeteria as the State competition took place Saturday night in Lucas Oil
Stadium in Indianapolis. Our band knows how to eat! I indulged myself with several
homemade pastas, fruit salads, and decadent desserts as the band directors
thanked all those present for the fantastic season and State Runner-Up finish. This was my sixth and final
potluck, and I can assure you that I will miss this day next year. Luckily,
Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away!
