Sounds like you had a great trip, Eleanor,
We are putzing around here in Duxbury, enjoying the last free weeks before school starts up again.
I'm excited to see how much reading the YA summer reading program will total. Lots of people participated and some are raising money through the read-a-thon pledging to fund libraries in Afghanistan.
I am going off in a few weeks on my walking trip along the NE coast of Northumbria, England. If you want to get a feel for the area, read Nancy Farmer's new adventure novel, Sea of Trolls.
It is a coast of ancient castles and we will be walking about 61 miles, then taking the train back to Edinburgh. The last castle we visit will be Alnwick (pronounced "annick") which is where the Quidditch matches for hte Harry Potter movies were filmed. It should be good fun!
Have a great year at Northfield/Mt. Hermon and keep in touch!
We need more writers on this blog, guys....

hey!
I just go back from Baltimore. ^_^ 'twas much fun. I got to go to an Anime convention. I went to a pannel about my favorite webcomic, "megatokyo". (I recommend it to those of you who like anime). I also saw some of "ranma 1/2", which was very funny. (if the anime festivals are still happening at duxbury, that would be a good anime to show. by the way, if they are still happening, when are they? ,and how often do they happen?).
sadly I doubt that I will make it to duxbury before I have to go back to school. alas, alas. for I have far too much packing to accomplish. **sigh**

alas. the blog appears to be dying.
please post, because that would be really cool. I intend to keep posting, and more than likely i shall be mostly ignored... (i would really, really like to be proved wrong). anyway...
as for books i've recently read, i read "Cold Mountain", which was a bit slow at first, and then it got interesting, and it was good up until the last few pages. I didn't like the ending, at all. it was for school, but for a sumer reading book, it was pretty good.
Now i am reading "The Left hand of Darkness" by Ursula k. LeGuin, it is weird, but good. It is about a man who is sent to as an envoy to a planet where the dominate speices is a race of beings who can change their sex at will.
well, i have nothing more interest to say... alas
