    Something about myself...well I have a blog too!
    And I really want to prepare for all that college reading we're going to have to do. And have some awesome times with our tiny class :)

    I really enjoyed "How to Read a Book"; the techniques that are explain in the passage was very interesting. This information would have been good to know before I took the reading part of the ACT. Anyways, I am expecting a great time in this class and hope that we have a swell senior year.
