Holly: I'm really excited about this project even though I'm one of the world's slowest readers. I love reading though, and I'm glad for an excuse to read for pleasure - that is one thing that I don't mind turning into an obligation. I just finished The World According to Garp by John Irving (yesterday, when I should have been writing this term paper), which I enjoyed; I then started Soul on Ice by Eldredge Cleaver (this morning, when I should have been writing this term paper). Oh well...
I'm a junior at UCF, majoring in English Literature. I love what I'm doing right now, but I have no idea what I'll do in the future. I love being outdoors, travelling, and learning about new things. I studied abroad in England this summer and backpacked around a bit, which was amazing. I loved waking up each morning and deciding for myself what I would do all day - where I was going, how I was getting there, etc. It was fun to be able to just sit in a cafe and read if I wanted to, or go on an impromptu hike. When I got back, I decided that I wanted to learn EVERYTHING, signed up for six classes (four of them being lit classes), and have regretted it ever since (ughhhh term paper; two pages down, only eight to go). I'm taking four classes next semester, and I'm really looking forward to it! I'm excited to start reading new books and everyone's posts!
