Reading is Fun...

It's Week 9 of Summer Term here at Drexel, and I couldn't be happier. I only have a few papers left until finals. I have been filling up my free time with working out at the DAC (gym) and reading. I decided instead of sleeping all day, I will try my best to get in-shape and read all of the books on my must-read list. I used to hate reading in High School, because it was mandatory. Now that I can read for fun, reading is actually fun. Over the past couple of weeks I have read Rant by Chuck Palahniuk, Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, and Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. I am currently reading Sunset Limited by Cormac McCarthy and plan on reading the Watchmen by Alan Moore. I don't know why, but I am on a reading binge.

Besides being studious, I have been enjoying my summer. Monday was my birthday, so I am officially 23 years old. I had doctors appointment back in Reading, so I was back in my hometown for my birthday. I was able to see my grandparents and even went to a Reading Phillies game with my Pop Pop. It was cool because Pedro Feliz from the Philadelphia Phillies was in Reading for a rehab start and hit two home runs. To bad they were the only runs the Reading Phils scored.

The other weekend I went down to Old City for First Friday. All of the Art Galleries were open for people to view for free. There are local artists all over the streets of Philly showing off and selling their work. It happens every first Friday of the month and is always a good time. If you are ever in Philly on the first Friday of the month, head to 2nd and Market and start wondering.
