First Visitor!
1:52 a.m. / 01:52
I showed this blog to my roommate; I've officially had a visitor here! Woo-hoo; one person! That's one more than before. Maybe I should get one of those free counters now...
I guess I should go ahead and tell the rest of my friends about it, but really, there's not that much here. It seems kinda lame.

Spring Break Reading
1:35 a.m. / 01:35
So, my very last spring break is coming to a close. (That's right, I'm finally graduating from college.) It was really boring. Aside from going to work, and visiting with friends as usual, I mostly slept and read.
I read some of The Girls in the Van by Beth J. Harpaz. It's about the press corps following Hillary Clinton around New York state during her Senate campaign. It's nonfiction & I'm reading it for a class, but it's good reading.
I also started The Monk Downstairs by Tim Farrington, which is fiction. I think it may turn out to be a good book, but I ended up putting it aside for the moment. For now at least, the main characters aren't very happy people. I needed something light and happy this week.
So, I checked out Boy Meets Girl, (totally fiction) by Meg Cabot, from the library. Meg Cabot writes some of the only romance I have truly enjoyed. About a year and a half ago I read & enjoyed her book The Boy Next Door. These two, along with a new one I have not yet read, called Every Boy's Got One, are a loosely-tied series. All three books are written mostly in e-mail messages and other written communication. Who knows; maybe one of the characters in the newest book has a blog!

Don't I suck?
1:26 a.m. / 01:26
So, I'm about 99% sure that NOBODY reads my blog. I haven't told anyone about it, and people are not likely to stumble upon it. But none the less, shouldn't I make a bigger effort to make entries? Okay, so my life isn't a thrill-a-minute, but none of my entires-to-date have been super-thrilling, but they haven't been that bad either. I can do this! It's just... like so many other things, I just have to bother to take the time and do it.

Midwest Model United Nations
11:58 a.m. / 11:58
I had a really great time in St. Louis last week. I am so glad I decided to go. Representing Germany on Third Committee was awsome. My fellow German delegate on Third Committee was a very cool person & easy to work with. Everything went really well. My research could have been better, but inexperience probably would have kept me from finding some of the information I needed, even if I had spent more time on it. I'm definatly going to recommend model UN to other people!
