It is now 3am. “It is now 7:06. You have exactly eight hours and fifty-four minutes to think about why you are here…”
I finished “City of Glass”! I smiled through much of the epilogue.

Today is my church’s junior music showcase, and this program starts in eight hours and twenty-ish minutes. And here I am, not tired, definitely nervous, and semi-on-the-verge of wanting to not go (though I have to) because ahhhh.
Basically, I have to lead two junior songsters’ songs; dance in three sacred dance numbers; and sing a freaking a capella duet with Lars. No big deal.
Also, I have like sixty pages left of “City of Glass” and it’s sooo good.
Legs and I are sitting in youth group. We just finished a spiritual gifts test.
I got equal high scores in Knowledge and Leadership; Legs got his highest score in Encouragement.
The rain is incessant here. Just a few days ago, it was all sun and games… Oh gosh, I think I just made a stupid joke.
Saw The Great Gatsby. The freaking zebra was an inflatable pool toy.
Anyway, I really liked it. Basically, I was wrong about pretty much everything. But it was great, and very visually dynamic. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a movie look so brilliant and vibrant.
Also, I managed to read 190 pages of “City of Glass” so far today and I plan to read more before I sleep, so hopefully I will finish it tomorrow!
Hope you are well.

The Great Gatsby in just over 10 hours! I will finally understand the zebra in the pool (or not, I don’t know).
It’s currently that awful stage where it’s really hot during the day and freezing overnight, so my left hand is warm and my right is like ice. I don’t get it.
Also, I’m just clearly awfully bored without my iPod. But I leave for my job in 8 days, so that should be great!

So tomorrow night I finally get to see “The Great Gatsby” and so I am extraordinarily happy.
Also I keep thinking that if I don’t receive “City of Glass” today I just might be kind of sad. Because I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.
Hope you’re freaking fantabulous (channeling Will.I.Am. for some reason).
:)
Finished “City of Ashes”. Whew. Now I just hope I get “City of Glass” tomorrow so I can read that!
But basically I loved it.
On page 295 of “City of Ashes” and all I can say is YESSS.
These books make me really happy and really angry at the same time.
I have too much in my mind to keep it all inside. This is where I let it out.
