We Need to Talk About Kevin...and School.

SO IT'S BEEN FOREVER...AGAIN! I know. I kind of suck at this whole 'blogging over the summer' thing. But guess what guys? SCHOOL starts here in 2 weeks. Well...15 days.
15. Tiny. Little. Days.
Which means I have to start waking up before 12:00 pm every day. Which will not be easy.
Here's the good news: I'm kind of excited. I wasn't before, but now I kind of am! I am going to be a senior! I'm absolutely thrilled. However, I haven't felt the need to make any huge deal out of things. I got one new pair of shoes and a few shirts. And then as far as supplies go, I just decided to use last year's backpack and get new notebooks. That's it.
My class schedule should be pretty easy.
I took Zoology, Personal Finance, Government Honors, English 12 Honors, and of course.....my favorite. Creative Writing. However this year it's going by the rather cheesy name: Imaginative Writing.
So in 15 days, that's what I'll be doing with my time.

But recently, I've been reading. And the book I've been reading is We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. It was basically the scariest book ever.
It's about a woman who decides she wants to have a baby. However, when she finds out she's pregnant, she kind of...doesn't want to be pregnant anymore. Call it "Mother's Intuition" because her son Kevin turns out to be psycho. Like...crazy. From the time he is born he is evil. But evil in backwards ways. So that when she would tell her husband "Oh Kevin does not stop crying from the time he wakes up to the time you get home." He's like...well yeah. He's a baby. Stop whining. But the thing is, Kevin IS JUST INSANE. I can't even describe. Eventually he goes from a crazy baby to a crazy child to a crazy teenager. And bad things just always seem to happen when Kevin is around. But it could all end up being just unfortunate coincedences...right? Well, it seems so until Kevin takes a crossbow to school...

It has an intense shocker of an ending that left me paralyzed. Like I don't want to sound overdramatic, but I couldn't move. And then the last page was even worse. I had to read it twice. Like really, lady?? Really?? If you read the book, you'll know what I mean. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. In fact, I may go read it again. It definately makes you think twice about wanting kids someday.

Anyway. What else have I read recently? I found a pretty good book on PixelOfInk.com but I can't remember the name right now. It was a romance, but it was a scary ghost book...I usually don't like either of those types of books but this one was great. Next time I blog...IF I EVER BLOG AGAIN...I'll let you know what it is called. :)

I hope everyone's summer has been great so far!

P.S: Here's the movie poster for Kevin. I haven't seen the movie yet, so I can't say if it's good or not.
