Dreamology by Lucy Keating

       My second summer reading book was Dreamology by Lucy Keating. This book is about a girl named Alice, and ever since she was little, she has had dreams about a boy named Max. Alice always felt like Max was a person, and he was a big part of her life. She had just learned to cope with the fact that he was not a real person until he walked into her English class. This book explores Alice and Max's journey to figure out why they dream about each other and how to stop it. I liked this book, but I wouldn't say its one of my favorites. The romance of the book was very predictable, but I really liked the twist with the dreams and how you could see inside them.

       The way the author described Alice's dreams was very descriptive. She would explain the setting in great detail by describing colors and Alice's feelings. I could imagine the dream in vivid detail whenever she wrote about it. Another part of Dreamology that I found very interesting was the way the author described Alice's love for Max. It was as if I could see into her head and hear how she was trying to get over him. You could tell how her whole world was flipped upside down when Alice moved and how it affected her emotionally. This book was interesting to read, and I would recommend it to young readers who like romance and some fantasy.

             On St. Patrick's Day, our school hosted a softball tournament where we played a school from New Orleans called McGhee. It was one of our first few games, so we were a little nervous going in to play. The game ended pretty quickly, and they won by over ten points. We were all let down that we had lost, but we knew that we would play them again. This weekend was our second game against them, and we went to New Orleans to play. We were all excited and nervous to play them again, but I had a good feeling about the game.              We got there, warmed up, and the game started. It started very similarly to our first game against them, so we started to loose our energy. However, my team started to get some hits, get on bases, and get some runs. We got more and more excited as we got more runs, and when we were down by three, a girl on my team hit the ball out of the park with bases loaded. We were all so ex...

Fall Break

       Fall break is one of my favorite times of the year because it gives me time to relax and do whatever I want. My break started off with having a friend over to spend the night. While she was over, we went to the Episcopal football game and met up with some people there. We stayed until the very end and cheered on the Knights. After the game, we went back to my house and watched some movies.        The next day, we went to the mall. It was so much fun because we got to walk around and shop. One of my favorite stores at the mall is Sephora. We went to Sephora and tested all of the newest make-up and skin care products. After a long day of shopping, we went to the food court and got some ice cream. Once we had both gotten home, I spent the next few days relaxing and taking a break from school.

       This weekend, my friends and I went ice-skating. The whole week before, we had planned it out, and we were all so excited. Whenever we drove to the rink, there were so many cars and I was under the impression that it was going to be so crowded. I was quite disappointed because I knew it wouldn't be as much fun if there were loads of people there. As we walked inside, I felt the air grow colder and I immediately got so much more excited.        I put on my skates and I went onto the ice. To my surprise, the ice skating rink was not crowded and I knew I would have fun. When I stepped onto the ice, I realized I hadn't skated in what felt like years. I practiced along the edges until I could finally do it on my own. My friends and I were having so much fun, we didn't even realize the time. We were all so upset  at the fact that is was time to go. So, we all took off our skates, and we knew that we would come back soon.
