Hey, guys! So, as I have already said, I am back from my summer camp and I have MANY things to tell you! Firstly, I forgot to mention that I read Frankenstein  by Mary Shelley in my books-I-read-during-my-high-school-years-list. Yup. Secondly, I will be making my book review for Fahrenheit 451  very soon! Thirdly, I found out on Friday that my summer assignment for AP Literature is to read The Sun Also Rises  by Ernest Hemingway, write 10 dialectical journals (this is easy to do), and to write an essay answering one of three given prompts. Not too bad! Fourthly, I am currently at my dad's house and have been since yesterday. This is why I have not made another vlog. But I will be returning home tonight and will be home until this Saturday (I am leaving for vacation on Saturday)! I will be seeing Tyler someday this week (he will be coming to my house), and we WILL be creating a vlog (maybe even more than 1!) together. :) So, be looking for that! Thank you guy

Hey everyone!!! I came home last night from my summer camp! I had an AMAZING time and cannot express how much this past week has changed my life. I will be posting a vlog later this morning (most likely) to give you a more detailed update. I just came in from a run so I need to go shower. Be back later~!!! ~Amanda

So, throughout my middle school/high school years, I have observed many girls reading books by Sarah Dessen. I have always been vaguely interested, but never really acted upon it.

So, I did a little research, and found that Sarah Dessen has written 11 books, with her most recent one coming out this month. So, I think I should finally let my curiosity carry me and check these books out! Sarah Dessen's Books: (in order from oldest to most recent) 1. That Summer (224 pages) 2. Someone Like You (281 pages) 3. Keeping the Moon (228 pages) 4. Dreamland (256 pages) 5. This Lullaby (345 pages) 6. The Truth About Forever (400 pages) 7. Just Listen (400 pages) 8. Lock and Key (432 pages) 9. Along for the Ride (432 pages) 10. What Happened to Goodbye (432 pages) 11. The Moon and More (384 pages) These books have all received high ratings and every girl w

Hello, everyone! So, tomorrow is my final day of my Junior year :) At 12:34 p.m., I shall walk out of my high school FREE. <3 Umm, okay, so just briefly: I killed my Pre-Calculus final today :) It was 33 multiple-choice questions, and it was not that difficult. I am praying I did well!!!! On a booky note, I finished Divergent, as I said on my blog, and am currently 223 pages into Insurgent! It's AMAZING. :D I will not be making a video tonight (most likely) due to being busy in preparing for my AP Composition final, which is tomorrow. I will let you guys know what's up! Ciao~!

So, I have finals this week. Tomorrow, Monday, will be a normal day with all of my classes. Tuesday = Periods 2 & 3 finals. Wednesday = 4th & 5th finals. Thursday = 6th & 7th finals. My point? No blogging, vlogging, or Facebook-ing until after 12:34 p.m. on Thursday. (Or at least after my Pre-Calculus final ;) ) Bye guys!!!

4. More. Days. On Thursday, June 13th, 2013, at 12:34 p.m... My Junior year of high school will be over. On August 28th, 2013, my Senior year will begin. And 180 days from August 28th, 2013...I will graduate. <3 Go Class of 2014.
