the musings and views of a life that is ambiguous and hazy but worth living :)
Learning to walk set you free. Learning to dance gives you the greatest freedom of all: to express with your whole self the person you are.

Books Books Books

Ok, so my current obsession is books.  It's been an obsession for a while now and I most recently applied for my masters in Library Science.  I want to become a librarian.  I figure I can't teach dance forever and how else can I make a living by screwing the things I love most into the ground?  Ok, so the last one was a little of a joke.... but not really.  I actually told my mom that if I never see another dance competition in my life I would be happy.  I haven't even put Jaycie in Dance.  I am so tired and so burnt out by 13 years of dance teaching.  I am actually dreading this upcoming year because it will be the 10 year reunion for the Silver Stars.  We should do something big but all I want to do is quit.  Seriously.  So to distract myself for a while I set a goal of 3 books a month.  I've read where some people read 50 in a year or even over 365 in a year.... I guess you can say I'm starting out small.  3 a month sounds good.  So far I am almost on track with the exception of one book.   "Carry On"  by Rainbow Rowell took so long to read partially because it was so slow to start.  I love the Harry Potter books and this one felt like a "knock-off" so it took me forever to read.  I started a new one called "The Hate u Give"  by Angie Thomas.  It was recommended by our librarian.
