The other day I had a few minutes to kill in an area of town I didn't know to well. I saw a Barnes and Noble though and decided to peek in for a minute. The smell of books enveloped me immediately and I found so many books that I simply want to devour.
And then it hit me...
I can.
Next semester I'm only taking 7 credits, and then I'll put on a gown, throw a cap in the air, and 3-5 weeks later I'll get a paper saying "oh hey nicole, that whole college thing-you did it!"
Not that I have been prohibited to read for pleasure during my college years. It's just that I suffer from guilt sometimes when I am reading anything other than scriptures and textbooks. Almost like my inner goodie-goodie 14 year old is reminding me that we didn't work so hard all these years to not spend all our available reading time on our textbooks in this final stretch.
But hey with only 3 classes left (after I survive another week and a half) I'm pretty sure there will be some room for reading what I want to. Oh! That thought makes me positively giddy.
Also can I just say that I have this weird desire to read biographies right now. Presidents, fashion designers, classic pop culture icons (I'm looking at you Audrey Hepburn) for some reason I want to know all about these people. So if you have any suggestions please send them my way!

Dear Theo is the autobiography of Vincent van Gogh, and maybe I'm just an art nerd, but I love it so far! Also, I love reading your blog, it kind of makes up for the fact that I never get to see you anymore! (just kind of)
