Letters From a Beach Bum: Day 7

You know what? I think... the whole schedule-a-post-the-next-morning is actually working rather well.  Mostly because I'm able to actually experience a day, and then, the next morning, I'll write about it.

Today was rather nice.  I spent a large part of the day reading on the beach, making the necessary annotations...  I even managed to get a bit sunburned.  On my face.. XD  Speaking of sunburn... I saw this thing the other day that shows you what putting sunscreen on your face looks like-- through a "UV lens" thing.  It's purty interesting-- check it out here:

It's called "How the Sun sees you", and it talks about what you look like in terms of UV.  It's really cool-- one day I wanna see what my skin looks like (:

We stayed on the beach until purty much dark, and then headed to the pool.  It's really pretty at night-- the lamps around the pool and the lights inside the water do look rather magical (: (psssst-- I'm a sucker for lights in/on water... it's just so preeeettyyyyy)

After the pool excursion, we went back to our condo unit to have dinner (again, thanks, Mom ( ) and I got really into my second AP Lang book. It's called Columbine by Dave Cullen.  The title describes the plot of the book... It's a tragic (albeit exciting) read about the devastation and horrible events at Columbine High School.  And it's weird... I've made it to 17 years on this planet without really knowing the basic details about the tragedy. All I knew is that it was a mass shooting, with two crazy teen guys involved. So this book was... rather shocking.  And the detail in which the story is told....is very eerie.  But it's so good. Cullen does a great job.  In one night, I was like, halfway through the book.  That's how good it is.  And I'm almost expecting to finish the book tomorrow :P.

So happy Saturday!  Also, I'd like to mention that I've reached the halfway mark... 7 days to go! :P
