i will not get angry!!

i have found those words so interesting! i read them in Mike Wallace's book, "Between You and Me." the interview where the words come from is both extremely interesting and amusing. but, most importantly, i have adopted them as my new motto. "i will not get angry!"

i have a lot on my plate right now. (i know, i know, drama queen all over again!) the truth is i'm in transition. and today as i was scurrying along trying to do all of the things that i needed to do, those words kept ringing in my ear. however, we will see how true they become.

i have started my summer reading. i went to the library and checked out three books: Between You and Me by Mike Wallace, Night by Elie Wiesel, and His Excellency by Joseph Ellis (the latter i have checked out several times and never finished it!) i really want to get something out of this summer, since i did not take a summer college course.

that said, i would like to give a sort of personal and unofficial review of wallace's book:

it is fascinating! some of the interviews are truly historical, i.e. Martin Luther King, Jr., former Presidents and First Ladies, etc. some of them are very informative in areas such as the middle east and u.s. history. and yet some of the interviews are purely entertaining and funny.

my next book will be "Night." i want to read it, but i don't know if i will have the stomach for it.

"His Excellency" is a good book, but i haven't restarted it because i don't remember exactly where i left off. my informal goal is to read a book on each president. i've read the book "John Adams," so that only leaves 42 more to go. easy as pie, don't you think?
