Research update

I actually haven't made much progress on my research project. I have found two more sources but they are both fairly useless. I've also began to hypothesize the formatting of my actually essay, but its still a work in progress. Other than this, I haven't done much on my project.

     I had a pretty great christmas break. I spent my Christmas break at my home here, and with my dad in Alabama, which is great because it means that I essentially get two separate sets of presents. :) At my mom's my favorite presents were my gaming chairs, my soda maker, my Xbox game, Assassin's Creed 3, and most of all,  my little puppy, Harry.

     At my dad's house, I received several pairs of socks, a pellet gun, 50$ to Mosley's Steaks, Halo 4, and Black Ops 2. Overall, both of my Christmases were very fun and festive.

     Alright, now that we're back to school, I have to find a new book to read. I, being the biggest J.R.R. Tolkien fan alive (author of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit), wanted to read one of his books. So, i went to the iTunes library, and found a book called the Children of Hurin, also by J.R.R. Tolkien.
     I immediately bought the book, not having the slightest clue as to what tho book was about. I opened the book and began reading the authors note, and discovered that The Children of Hurin was just several thousand pages of backstory to Lord of the Rings. As nerdy as it may seem, I was very interested in this book, so I began to read. And that's where I am now: the second chapter of the Children of Hurin.

Writing Part:
     I learned this semester that I am okay with reading non-fiction books. However, I much prefer fantasy to anything else, other that science fiction. Nonetheless, I know that reading will remain one of my passions for quite a while.

  My goal for next semester is mainly to keep up my reading habits, but this time remember to put them up on my blog.
