I'm so happy that I'm finally out of mind-numbing television mode and have gone back to reading. I just started Les Miserables. I've wanted to read it for quite some time but have always been intimidated because it is a tremendously long book. I haven't read much of it yet, but I think it would be helpful if I knew a bit more about the French language, French Revolution and French political systems during the early 19th century. Sadly they don't teach you much world history in school, it's all about America, and when we finally had world history, I had a really bad teacher, so I didn't really get to learn much about it when I really wanted to. I guess that's why I'm taking a European history class next semester! Yay! Anyway, it should be an interesting book, it's on a list of the 100 best novels of all time that my dad found. I don't know how qualified the editor was to create such a list, but he must have some authority on the subject to publish a book about it. I just hope it doesn't take me forever to read because there are soooooo many books I want to read this summer. Once classes start, I have no time to read anything outside of class. I usually read things so slowly too. Ick, I have to start work Sunday morning. I hate working Sunday mornings, they're so boring and slow, plus I wanted to start going back to church. My manager ALWAYS makes me work Sunday mornings, so I'm really not surprised. Look, I haven't even started yet and I'm already complaining. Yay summer jobs! I think I told a telemarketer he had the wrong number today. He misconstrued the pronunciation of my last name so badly that I couldn't understand him, so I told him he had the wrong number. After I hung up, I realized he was asking for my mom, but she wasn't home anyway so it didn't really matter. Hmmm, maybe that's a new way to get rid of telemarketers - just tell them they have the wrong number.
