Water for Elephants and GREs
Hidy ho neighbors! Things in my corner of the world are going well. Working hard and staying on top of my workout. Although I'm sure eating 2 chocolate poptarts in one sitting didn't help! Its okay, I guess, as long as I work it off! I really need to work on a good work out play list on my iPod. Anyone have any suggestions for songs?
In the down time I've managed to do some reading (Anna you inspire me always with your 50 book reading challenge and blogging about it.) I just finished My Sister's Keeper and am currently reading Water for Elephants. I just picked up Giraffe at Costco and can't wait to start it and its a short read (bonus!) So if anyone is looking for some good books to read, I recommend those three.
Other big news, I registered to take the Biology subject specific GRE test in November. This GRE is required for a lot of the graduate programs I've been researching. Although I'm not sure yet whether I want to go back to school soon, at least I'll have the necessary test needed out of the way. Its really hard for me right now, deciding to act on what I need and what I want. I know I need a masters for my career field to put me ahead, but I don't know if its what I want right now.
This weekend was a nice movie weekend for me. Recommendations Death at a Funeral, Mr. Bean's Vacation (I know but it was stupid funny!) The Nanny Diaries was a big disappointment, but I read the book and the movie is nowhere close to the book. Superbad was ok, but not the best movie out there to see right now.
And it sprinkled this weekend! Oh the joys of a little bit of precipitation!

Glad I'm inspirational to someone! :) I borrowed Water for Elephants from my aunt and it's on the bottom of my "To Be Read" pile because I don't have to return it to the library, like most of the books in that pile. I hear very good things--it's sort of the "it" book of 2007. It was published by this teeny publishing house, stumbled upon the right sort of publicity (the kind where everyone says it's awesome, rather than controversial or totally not worth the six-figure advance or whatever, like that gross OJ book) in the right places and skyrocketed to great fame and acclaim. Every writer's wish. So, of course, she'll feel all this pressure on her next book, the quality will suffer, and we'll all forget she exists. Publishing rocks!
