Lovely.

So my break was just as lovely as could be expected. It was so nice to not have to work or think about school. And be able to read. I haven't read as much as a wanted too but I have been doing other awesome things so its okay.

Christmas was really a very excellent day. I think I mostly loved it all because I haven't been home for Christmas for the past two Christmases. Of course I don't have any pictures to show you wonderful people cause the camera was nestled safely in my room for the entire break. On Christmas Eve we don't really have a set tradition I'd say. We do different stuff it just depends I guess. The one tradition we do have though is bean dip!!! We always always eat seven layer bean dip for dinner on Christmas Eve. This year we went with my grandma and went and looked at the lights around town and then out at Willard Bay. Christmas morning was also lovely. (Everything is just so lovely today.) We always always have orange cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning. So very yummy.

I have been reading!!!! Yay!!!! Yesterday I read the second Hunger Games book. I honestly couldn't even tell you what it was called. It was so good though. I sat and read the entire thing from cover to cover yesterday after work. Now I need thee third one! But I have heard some things about the third one....so we'll see. 

Also. I am reading another trilogy. Mistborn. By Brandon Sanderson. I have a problem. So I am totally going to ruin some things here so if you plan on reading them stop reading now. They have been pretty good so far. I have just started the third one. But people. Come on. You know that doesn't mean anything. I always read ahead to see what happens. (I don't care what you say. It's so much better that way.) THEY DIE. He kills of the two MAIN characters of the book. I've got. LOTS. of problems with this. I'm sorry but I don't want to invest all this time and energy reading and getting attached to these characters and then you KILL them. It's a BOOK. So whatever moral of the story or sacrifice or whatever the crap it is your trying to convey can be done with keeping all the main characters alive. Such as Harry Potter. Yes, friends and loved ones die but HARRY doesn't DIE. I'm kind of upset. But I'll probably read it anyway. Cause I need to know why in the world they have to die. Even though I know it was totally unnecessary.

So I was telling you about my break. Know that it was good. It was SOOooo hard to drive back up to Logan to go back to work. But its okay cause there is still a few more days before school starts.
