Work, Work, Work...

The procrastinator in me is emerging. I have been dreading the idea of having to do any homework or any of my projects for that matter. It seems as if I don’t ever get time off from school or work. Blah blah blah. I’m done complaining, and I honestly feel satisfied from my little episode of negativity. Anyway, it seems that if my independent reading choice was very wise at this point considering my schedule. Although short it’s definitely interesting. There’s always been a part of me that loves history and attempting to put myself in the shoes of others is intriguing. “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich” quickly dove into a tense situation which caught my attention. I hate books that over explain. I typically read those that explore into the topic of fantasy or science fiction. A look into reality is a nice change.  I expect this to be a good read, and a real eye opener into a life people generally take for granted.

  1. I am also reading this book! Yea! I didn't know it would be really short when I ordered it form the library though. That was a really awesome bonus! Yeah, the book so far is really good and feels very real, which is always a good quality to look for in a book. Shukhov is a pretty cool guy and I like how he and the others act as one big family that support each other to keep going forward.
