Day 76, Bookworm

Before Calvin left, he gave me a book to read to help me pass the time in the metro and in general on this trip.  More than once had I mentioned needing to find a good, easy, fun book to read—something different from the textbooks, manuscripts, scriptures, and foreign literature I’ve been reading for the past few years.  In fact, I was worried that I had lost my reading and comprehension skills because I fall asleep so easily and miss so much when I read.  I mean, I like to say that I like to read, but I haven’t really sat down to read for kicks since the summers in high school, basically.  Could I even still read?  Much to my delight, I found that I can!  Actually, I was tickled that I am still the bookworm who will read and read, even when walking, not wanting to put the book down.  I am still the girl who will read into the night, the one who made it so my parents thought it best to put a motion sensor light in my room so that the light would turn off for once!

Thanks to Ben who put me to a bit of a challenge, I went to the Retiro park after the YSA BBQ and gave out some of Ashlee’s surveys—in between lots of reading.  :)
