Things to do

At school I was always busy; rather, I should have always been busy. There was always plenty to busy myself with.
Here, I could easily, too easily, do absolutely nothing. Starting in a week, approximately, that will change. I hope.
I wonder if I'm perky enough to be a good waitress. I shall imitate Kara. Actually, I should imitate Evan, if I were to imitate anyone. Ah well.
I begin writing again tomorrow. And I have been working on my summer reading list. This is by no means all of it. Feel free to suggest others.

• The Count of Monte Cristo
• A Tale of Two Cities
• Blue Like Jazz
• The Great Divorce ( and all things Lewis)
• The Man Who Was Thursday (and all things Chesterton)
• Gone With the Wind (this is only because I love Kara)
• Uncle Tom's Cabin (because I lied to someone once about reading it...I forget whom...)
• The Princess Bride (because I love the movie)
• and I want to finish Winston Churchill's histories of WWII. I am in the midst of Triumph and Tragedy now.

So I am looking forward to the remainder of summer. I have also other things lined up to keep myself out of mischief. Wish me well with that.

My little brother, the Space Cadet, to my mother, on Mom's proposing summer-camp-style classes for him and Littlest Sister :
