I began writing again today. I guess got inspired to by the new book I'm reading. Writing and reading, for me, usually go hand-in-hand. It gives me a guideline, encouragement, so to speak. For a beginning writer, it's a good way to follow a backbone and make sure your own story has one. It's nice being here without having anything to do. I'm amazed I haven't been bored yet, but I guess I've been keeping busy in my own ways. I was in the middle of cleaning my room when I felt the urge to write and well, when that happens the Earth must stop rotating so there I went. Vacation...this one feels more real because I'm not under pressure or obligation to get a job. It's going to be a nice three weeks of relaxation, adventure, reading, and writing. Hmm, 6:30 and I'm not the least bit hungry. Some where in the last week of school my appetite became dormant and it has yet to awaken. Now, it's just me, the jazz, and a stack of papers to sort through...Cheers to the end of another semester! Carrie
