5K Training!

Okay, I'm officially training for a 5K! I'm really excited, and it's for charity! I'm going to be running the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure! I just started this week, and I fully intend on following through. I'm going to be using a nine week program called Couch to 5K. I hope to run it with a friend, but if I have to run it alone, I'll be fine too.
This has been a goal of mine for a few years, but I've never gotten around to actually starting. I really want to follow through, especially since the cause is something close to my heart. I can't wait to continue updating you guys on my progress!
God's Blessings!

Reading and Writing

So this week I finally went to a teen writer's camp offered at my library. I really liked it and I plan on going again this coming week. I even found out that they will be accepting submissions for a teen anthology that once finished, not only will all the authors receive a copy, but there will be copies in the library for other people to read.
Now, usually I'm bursting with ideas and topics, but I'm at a blank at what to write about. Usually I get inspiration from whatever I'm reading about, but I'm kind of blanking out. I know that I do want to write some kind of essay about beauty. What about beauty I don't know.
Now, for the reading part. In the past week and a half, I've read three books. I'm pretty proud of myself, but I can't take a break, because yesterday I just checked out three more books from the library! Well, off to read!

Book Review: The Possibilities of Sainthood

So, last night while driving to see family, I read an entire book that I was immediately hooked on. The book was called The Possibilities of Sainthood, by Donna Freitas. On a scale of one to ten, I would give it a 7.5. The plot was a little predictable, and there could have been a little more character development with a few of the supporting characters.
In The Possibilities of Sainthood, we follow Antonia on her journey to become the Catholic Church's first living saint and to get her first kiss (though her name saint is the Patron Saint of Teenage Purity). Antonia lives with her mother and grandmother in modern day Rhode Island above the family's traditional Italian deli/bakery. She attends an all-girls, Catholic high school with her best friend Maria, and the brother school is home to the love of Antonia's life. Throughout the story, we read as Antonia prays to different saints for different things, and along the way, realizes some things about love and the first kiss she's been longing for.
This book is a good easy read, but if you're into deeper books, I would look elsewhere. Though the book had meaningful moments, there was nothing life changing that sprung out at me. It's a good teen read, though!
I love it when I'm able to speed through books like I sped through this one (I probably finished it within 6 hours!). It makes me feel a little dorky, but that's just part of who I am. I think it's difficult to find a book that you just can't put down, and this book definitely takes that award with me!

Welcome to my Blog!

Hi blog readers! As you probably know from my blog title, my personality cannot be described in one word. Basically, I'm going to use this blog as a journal for all my activities that fit into all my different personas.
Today I was mostly the artsy, creative side of myself. I am an avid knitter and crocheter, and that is mostly what I like to craft with, yarn! So a few months ago I started knitting a baby blanket just for kicks (I'm barely a freshman in high school, it's definitely not for me!), and it kind got pushed to the side. So, as a challenge, I want to finish all of my projects before starting any new projects. And finishing this blanket is just one of those many projects. It's not even close to being halfway done, so I've a long ways to go before it's done, but I'm determined to finish it! I don't know when it'll be done, but it will get done! So that was me playing with the artsy side of me.
God's Blessings!
