I’m bad at updating.

I’m not very good at updating this.  Sometimes I feel like I’m losing my awesomeness and really don’t have anything to say.  Sometimes I’m too busy working two part-time jobs, taking online classes, babysitting, housesitting and sleeping to update.  Anyway, this is going to be a brief and a not awesome post…unawesome?…which reminds me.  Last April, I taught a kindergarten class.  If you know me, I try to avoid teaching kindergartners because 1. I hate tattletalers, 2. I hate when people are not self-sufficient and 3. I have no classroom management when it comes to five year olds.  That being said, I had a student tattle tale on another student by saying, “Mrs. H (apparently I’m married and my last name is too hard to say), he called me NOT AWESOME!”  I tried not to laugh…and I didn’t…I proceeded to say in a teacher-like voice “oh..but we are all awesome!”  Anyway, this has nothing to do with my original post.

What I originally was going to say is that I need to start reading young adult books, since you know, I want to be a high school librarian and all.  I found a list of books here that I will try to read in alphabetical order (unless it is a series).  Here is the list: http://www.teenreads.com/features/ultimate-reading-list.asp

On that list is James Patterson.  Now, if you know me you know how I feel about this.  It’s going to be hard, and I’m going to suffer, but I will get through it.  Nicholas Sparks is on that list too.  And Mitch Albom. BUT there are a few good books on there as well, such as Flowers For Algernon, Catcher in the Rye, The Bell Jar, etc.  So, we’ll see how that goes.  Anyone want to recommend me young adult books to read?
