So I totally didn't mean to disappear for a week, but... apparently I did. Anyways, I'm home on spring break right now, which is really nice. We were supposed to go to Mammoth to ski for 5 days (well, ski for 3 days and the other 2 days were driving up and back), but then my dad had to work, so now we're going tomorrow to Mountain High for just a day trip (it's only an hour and 15 min from where I live). It's disappointing that we don't get to go to Mammoth, but I suppose one day is better than none. It's also kind of lame since last year we went during spring break and beforehand I kind of... didn't really want to go to Mammoth because I wanted to spend my 1 week at home (although I did have fun once I went), and this year I've been really looking forward to this trip and now it's been canceled. Oh well.

Instead of spending most of the week skiing, my mom and I are going to see several movies. Nothing I'm like... super excited about, but we're going to see Crazy Heart today and then probably The Last Station and The Blind Side later this week. All films that got nominated for something at the Oscars (and 2 of which actually won awards) but none I've seen.

Yesterday my mom took me to Barnes and Noble and I bought 4 books: Little Dorrit, Bleak House, The Way We Live Now, and The Woman in White. I've had a great urge to go to a bookstore for the past few weeks since I've been all obsessed with reading 19th century British lit. I had some other books at home that I also wanted to read, and so now the stack of books I want to read is ridiculously tall since most of them, particularly those 4 I just bought, are rather long and hefty. Still, I'm excited about having all these books to read.

As stressful as school can be, I do really enjoy the various breaks I get where I don't have to do anything. I'm definitely enjoying this spring break.

I thought Crazy Heart was decent but not that great. There was some good acting in it, though, so hopefully you find it worth watching!

Thanks!
