The Future

     Ideally I would become an author and make a great deal of money in the future. I plan to write and get a book published. Failing that I could become a librarian, teacher, or book critic.

Exile's Valor

     Exile's Valor is the title of the book I am currently reading. It is the second book in a two book side series. The author of the book is Mercedes Lackey. Mercedes Lackey writes a number of series set in the country of Valdemar. Exile's Valor is part of one of these series set in Valdemar.

     The main character in my book was brought to Valdemar from another country, Karse, by a Companion, an intelligent being that look like a white horse. The name of the main character is Alberich. Alberich was saved from religious persecution in Karse by his Companion. The name of Alberich's Companion is Kantor. Now in Valdemar, Alberich becomes the weaponsmaster for the Collegium, a school that teaches Bards, Healers, Heralds, and other various occupations. Alberich also becomes a Herald. A Herald is an agent for the Monarch of Valdemar. They settle disputes between people, inforce the law, and are royal messengers. Alberich later becomes the spymaster as well. In Exile's Valor Alberich learns of a plot to assassinate Queen Selenay and has to stop the stop their attempt.

   

Weekend (Free Write)

     I didn't do much this weekend. I read my book. I watched some anime. I also watched television.

     I played some games. Watched some YouTube videos. I watched videos I uploaded to YouTube.

     That was pretty nastalgic. I didn't do much else. I was lazy this weekend.

      

Food (Video)

     The documentary is about the process food goes through. The documentary views the food process as a bad thing. I think that the food process is far from perfect. Parts of the food process is necessary though.

My Favorite Food

     My favorite food is chicken and dumpling soup. It is warm and filling. The dumplings really complement the soup well. The chicken adds that last little touch. The ingredients go together to create a really good soup.

Social Anxiety (Story 15)

     I am an introvert and maybe a tad shy, so I understand not being able speak up. What stood out the most from the story was the help he got from medication and therapy. It was such a down to earth solution to his problem.

     I don't know if there is anything I can use from this story. If there was a clear lesson to be learned from the story, I think I missed it. Maybe the lesson is that social anxiety is a serious disorder and to get professional help. I could use that.

Spring Break (Free Write 3)

     My spring break was not overly exciting. It was not uneventful or boring either. I spent the majority of my time with my grandpa up in Michigan. I didn't do much while I was there because he was sick most of the time.

     I went to see my ill great-uncle who is in a nursing home while I was there. His condition has been all over the place. He didn't look to be in terrible condition when I was there.

     I checked out books at the library near my grandpa. I brought my PS3 to play while I was there. I watched som T.V. I relaxed and just spent time with him. That is how I spent my spring break.
