Back at Home

I've finally returned home three days later than expected. I am overwhelmed with school work to make up. I am usually quite busy anyway without the extra load, but oh well I'll manage. On the way home I did manage to get some reading done...the most in such a short time since the summer. I read Jane Austen's Persuasion as well as Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman; both contained some depth as well as some good points and messages. Persuasion I read for my own pleasure and though somewhat engaging, it was not nearly as interesting as a story as Pride and Prejudice, but I enjoyed it far more than Death of a Salesman which I read as an assignment for school. I found it too gloomy and strange and to me Miller's The Crucible is much better. By the way Cousin of the Puddle, I finally got the chance to look up that name that's been torturing me for three days: Iarwain. I should like to know if anyone with a knowledge of The Silmarillion has any idea who or what this Tom Bombadil character really is. I'm interested in any theories you may have.

Thanksgiving Vacation

This week I'm in Colorado for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately my grandfather is ill, so my parents have made the three hour trip to Denver where he's at the hospital. My sister and I are staying with my aunt. We're unsure what we'll do for Thanksgiving dinner, but most likely we'll have it in the hospital. Until then we'll just hang out at my aunt's house and watch movies, make cookies, and play games. This evening I've eaten too many cookies like I usually do....but boy they were good! I'm really sorry my blog is so boring. If want to read something interesting check out Puddy's Puddle.

Hello!!!

Hi, I'm Chelsey! I'm a nerd from Alabama with a pretty boring life. I like my boring life though. It's just nice and well....boring. I'll try to post regularly, but there's no guarantee. I'm always busy with nerdy stuff like homework and violin and homework and service projects and homework!!
