Let's Read

Finding time to read during senior year of college is quite the challenge. If I'm lucky I squeeze in a few pages before bed normally falling asleep with the book still open. If it's a very good one it's a different story! Then I read until I finish and realize it's 3am and I have to wake up in a few hours. I'm hoping with Christmas break coming up I can catch up on a few books I have been wanting to read since this summer! My list is starting to grow pretty long. Let me know if you have read any of these or have any suggestions of other books to add to the list!
I've seen this book on tons of blogs and can no longer wait- it's a must read over break! There is an article about this book by The Washington Times here



This is a book I wanted to read this summer but ran out of time. Decision Points sounds so interesting to me! It's George Bush's view of what happened during the 2000 election, aboard Air Force One during the attacks of September 11, and into the Situation Room moments before the start of the war in Iraq.



I'm currently reading this book after receiving a free autographed copy from Mr. Ron Clark himself! I had the chance to hear him speak at a teaching fellow convention this summer at Elon College. As a future teacher I find him extremely inspiring. When I finish this book I plan on reading The Essential 55 as well!




This is one that has been sitting by my bed for a few weeks. I'll get to it soon! ..hopefully

Have you read any of these or have any other suggestions?
Don't forget to ask me questions here or by commenting on this post. I'll be doing a post soon with anything and everything you'd like to know(:

Monday Monday

Another weekend that flew by! My weekend was filled with sleep, Christmas movies and cocktails. ...I can't complain! Friday I checked off one task on the bucket list! My roommate and I decided to try B's! barbecue- a local favorite. It did not disappoint and I can promise I will be back! I am extremely picky about my bbq and was nervous to try somewhere new. I'm so glad I did though, it was possibly one of the best meals I have had in a while! B's barbecue requires you get there early because they only serve until the pork runs out.


a true hole in the wall!


Last night my sister and her friend came over for a fun night in. We made tacos and watched the movie Friends With Benefits. If you are looking for a fun movie to redbox I would definitely recommend it! I also watched the abc family movie 12 dates of Christmas and loved it! If it's on I recommend tuning in(: I shouldn't say this but a confession! I also watched Home Alone 2 and The Santa Clause 1 AND 2. I don't EVER have time to watch this much tv!! I took advantage of the time off because I know it probably won't happen again anytime soon!

Don't forget to ask me questions here!

You have Questions

You have questions? I have answers! I've seen a couple other of my blogging friends do this and thought I would join in on the fun. This blog is essentially about me, therefore I talk about what is going on my life often. Maybe I'm not talking about what you are wondering though! Over the next few days comment on this post with a any question you would like to ask me. After I receive a handful I'll make a post with all of the answers!


On another note, last night was the Sig Ep Christmas Cocktail. My date was the same guy that attended the ZTA semi formal with me last weekend. A couple of my girl friends were also attending so that made for a fun night!! Despite it being cold, or just down right freezing, we had so much fun!! Here are some pictures of the night. (Can you tell these boys have every type of flag hanging up on the wall?)



(Ignore the awkward light bubble on my face!)





I also completed one task off of the bucket list! I'll share tomorrow!!
