On Thursday, May 3, I checked out the Nook Number 4 from the Uni High Library. Now, over my life, I have checked many, many things out from various libraries, whether they be in San Jose, CA, Stony Brook, NY, or right here in Champaign, IL. This Nook, however, is by far my favorite thing that I have ever checked out.

Tomorrow is December first, meaning that for the next 25 days, everything is going to be in shades of red and green, and carols will be blasting from every store door in preparation for the long-awaited holiday, Christmas.

I am a Gleek. Urban Dictionary defines a Gleek as: "Anyone who is obsessed with the television show Glee may call themselves a "Gleek".

I definitely fall under these Gleek requirements. Therefore, two nights ago, Tuesday, September 20 was one of the best days for me in while. Why, you ask? The Glee Season Three Premiere, of course! The premiere was entitled "The Purple Piano Project."

Running. Three years ago, the very word made me shiver in dread. Much has changed since that time. With fitness forcing me to run every other day, I have gotten healthier and discovered that running really is not that bad. Its a great way to get exercise, and I always feel accomplished afterward. However, that doesn't mean that I will go running for fun.

I love Harry Potter. I pre-ordered every single book on Amazon and then tore into the packages as soon as they showed up on my doorstep. I then devoted the rest of the day pouring through the book, only to finish late at night with bags under my eyes the next morning.
