It's time to be PRODUCTIVE!

This blog has been on my "things to do list" for quite some time.  And I finally made it!  The next thing on my list is my grad school application.  I need to start getting that organized.

1. I need to get recommendations from professors
2. start working on an essay explaining my goals
3. put together a portfolio of work I did during my undergraduate years

I need to focus on these things for the next couple of months.  I was trying to get a job, but I've been having no luck, so I think going back to school might be a better idea.

Other than working on my application, I'm trying to spend less time on facebook, and more time reading books.  I started re-reading Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen.  It is an amazing novel that you will not want to put down.  I recommend it to anyone looking for a story that is enjoyable, romantic, and heart touching.  I decided to read it again because a movie about it will be coming out next year!  Here is more information about the movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1067583/

Early in the Summer I read The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls.  It is a memoir that chronicles the childhood of writer Jeannette Walls.  She tells of her dysfunctional family and her survival through the hardships she faced during her youth.  This is another book that you will not be able to put down!
