_Bossypants_

So, over this break I decided that I would start to read a little bit more than usual.  My mom thought that I would enjoy Tina Fey's biography, Bossypants.  It is about her life from the time that she was a teenager to her life now as an extraordinary actress. With herself as the narrator, she talks about things that happened in her life, and comedically tells the story with remarks on what she thinks about those things as she looks back on it now.  I am really interested in Bossypants, because Tina Fey is one of my favorite actresses and was one of my all time favorite SNL regulars.  I look forward to the rest of the book, I hope that I can finish it soon so that I can share it with all of you!

I also read the poems that we were assigned to annotate over the break, and in total I read for about an hour from the poetry book.  I noticed that while some of the poems were easier to understand than others, the ones that were short and sweet had much more meaning than the longer ones.  I don't know if that's reverse psychology or what, but it was definitely something that I noticed! I look forward to continuing our poetry course, it is something that I feel connected and interested in, probably one of my favorite things all year!
