Summer Scrapbook Saturday #5

Yeah, everything's been late this past week. I have been the worst at planning all week. It happens. All in all, it's been a good week. All my activities have been all over the place. A couple of the days were just taken over by sleeping after work. I had a full week, and it was exhausting.

1. On Thursday night, the promotions team decided to have a few (or more) drinks. We went to the classic patio bar downtown, and let me tell you, they have great nachos. That's kind of it. We all learned a lot about each other, and it was a fun time.

2. Whoever didn't like the High School Musical franchise (even if it was just for Zac Efron) has something wrong with them. Marlee and I decided to watch all three movies this summer, and we made it to the second movie! It was obviously amazing. And fun fact: a co-worker was driving me home yesterday, and he totally played the slow song that Zac and Gabriella sang when they broke up.

3. My sister's birthday was this past Saturday, but my dad was out of town, so we had her birthday dinner on Sunday night. Cake is a great thing in the world, but my mom made carrot cake with raisins. I don't like raisins.

4. My promo team made a Starbucks run on Friday, and I genuinely don't know how the guy decided my name was spelled. I wanted to put this in because Friday was HORRIBLE for promo team. Our morning school was perfection. We refer back to it all the time when discussion perfection. As for the afternoon, it can be summed up by one event: we asked a question and as a response, a kid farted. Enough said.

5. Saturday night, my sister and I played a riveting game of Spit while we Skyped a friend of mine. It was hilarious.

6. Thursday afternoon, promo team went to the beach. It was supposed to be sunny, but it was all overcast and kind of chilly. Nevertheless, we had a blast. It's all about the company you keep.

As I said, Tuesday and Wednesday were sleepy days. I also spent some time writing Tuesday's blog post. I'd like to think I'm getting better at taking pictures, but I'm definitely not.

 Is fall not the best reading season? I’m so glad I’ve had a few opportunities to sit on the front porch, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket with a hot drink and my book. Right now, it’s raining outside and all I want to do is cozy up and get back to my book. I’ve read some great non-fiction in the past six weeks. I’m learning so much about how people relate to the world around them. That is so important to me. Check them out! The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism – Naoki Higashida – 4 Stars         This is a very short book that I think everyone should read – particularly those who work with children. Although knowledge has come a long way, there is still so much more to be learned about autism. This book is a series of question that Naoki Higashida answers from his point of view. Interspersed is also a handful of short stories from Higashida’s point of view.         It’s an incredible book. It’s something that really allows readers to understand ho

Monthly Favourites- February 2016

I don’t know about you, but it feels like February has flown by! I can’t say it’s been a busy month; it’s more like a month of sinking back into routine. Last month, I was so ready to get back to school. It’s been great so far. I’m loving my classes, and I’m doing well with keeping on top of readings. I went to watch The Superbowl with friends (we didn’t make it to halftime), took control of my own body, and I’ve made myself a solid group of friends. I’m really happy. Here’s what got me through the month: 1.        NetGalley     I’m sure you can tell based on the sheer amount of book reviews I’ve been posting, but I have been reading quite a lot. This is all thanks to NetGalley. I have been a member of the site for over a year, but I never really got into it until now. At home, I have an extensive bookshelf, but I couldn’t bring that to the UK with me. I turned to NetGalley, and I have been rewarded. As a member, I request book titles and get a free e-book. In exchange, I have
