Hey, guess what I haven't done in a long time? Updated the number of books I've read this year! My rate of reading has shown a remarkable decline in the past few weeks, but give me a break, next week is AP testing.
So: we're now at 311 for the year, which is sad, because the year's almost at the halfway mark, and I'm nowhere close to being near 50.
My family and I saw Jersey Boys this last Thursday. Now, I haven't been able to properly express my love of musicals on this blog for a little while now, and unfortunately, while Jersey Boys was amazing in its own right, I don't think it's one of my favorite musicals ever, mainly because it was more like a super long concert with some narration in between the songs than an actual musical-story. Not to say I didn't like it. I did. It was awesome.
I also saw Water for Elephants tonight. I enjoyed it; I've read the book, though I didn't really remember all of it so I had more of a feeling of deja vu throughout the entire movie than true recognition. I have to say, Robert Pattinson looks decent when he's not in horribly weird face make-up, and constantly making his constipated face (though never fear, the face still showed up in this movie for a cameo appearance in at least two scenes).
In other non-entertainment-centric news: I have a semi-job now! Hooray, I'm not a failure as a human!
It's cleaning (tidying up, vacuuming, swiffering) a neighbor's house once or twice a week. The neighbor and her husband are both gone a lot, and they have three boys and a cat, so...yes. It pays $12 an hour, and I can go over whenever I'm free. It's awesome.
I also passed all my certification tests! Hooray extra $25 a week at camp!
I'm going to fail my IB Music test this week! Hooray!
