Shortly before I got to Halifax, I got the memo that I should be expecting a hurricane. On the days leading up to the hurricane, it was hot, still, and humid. I had a tea party at a friend's house, and it was just charming! Hot tea is actually not that bad in hot weather- supposidly it makes your body temperature hoter, which makes the air around seem cooler. The company was great too. There were about eighteen girls in attendence, and we chatted for a while over scones, and then went around and shared our summer and worries for the coming year and praying for each other. It was great.
The other days surrounding Earl I read a lot! I finished Julie and Julia, Grace Abounding, and Columbine. I also baked an apple pie and focaccia bread, which was surprisingly easy! I've made bread before... this was incredible and delicious! So good!

I have helped friends move into their appartments, and have gotten settled back in my room. Unfortunately, I wasn't as content with my class list as I would of liked (I'm not sure what inspired me to take Shakespeare for fun, even though I do like him), and am now trying to scramble my many, random interests into a class schedule. Two days before school starts. *Sigh*

May I ask what you thought about Julie and Julia? I read the book too, and for the first time in my life, I liked the movie better. (Sorta... I read The Blind Side also, and wasn't a fan, but I never saw the movie though I heard it was great.) Anyway, I thought she was portrayed as WAY more cynical in the book, and I wasn't a fan at the end of a couple religious references she made that were left out of the movie.
Also, I took Shakespeare for fun in college. :-) It starrted out as one of my least favorite classes, but I do LOVE reading and writing and I ended up really liking it.
Enjoy!
