Finally

I finished The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn today. I'm going to answer one of Coursen's prompt when I get home because then I can just write it in Word and then copy it because spelling counts. I really liked the story, and I"m kind of surprised when so many people have said they hated it, but I think you need to have a certain kind of humor to like the book. At the end it was a little tiresome because they took forever to rescue Jim which was why it was funny, but it got old with how it started to drag on and on. Other than that part it was good, though I didn't really see it as depressing or anything, maybe with Huck's dad or something, but that was about it. A Separate Peace just sounds depressing from the words on the back, but then again it's American literature so...yeah. I started Little Women a while ago and I'm going to start it again soon. It's really good so far and I'm only on chapter five (which is like 50 pages in). It talks a lot about Pilgrim's Progress, but I don't want to read it. I think I know the gist of it by now. All of the girls are realistic and the mom is the sweetest person in the world! Ah...and I thought I wasn't going to be interested in it...

Can't wait to go home! Just one night and twelve hours later and I'll be able to see my darling little fat cats! I'm coming home Pudgy, Thunder, and Nochi (still love you Snickers)!!!! oh and Dad too I guess. Jk see ya soon dad.

P.S. My freckles didn't last long for some reason, which is a relief in itself. Also the game Apples to Apples is awesome! You should play it with a bunch of people (who are not big perverts, but, who for some reason don't see the sexual use in handcuffs...huh I thought for sure Simon would get that one). Phrases on the vacation by the wonderful grandchildren AKA Me, Simon, Derrick, and Alison: Poof and I'm gone! & ...In the face! & HE'S HIGH! HE'S HIGH! HE'S HIGH ON A LITTLE KID SHOW! & NASCAR SUCKS & Betrayal. minus ten points. & Don't let Sam drive, she's terrible.
