My Vacation

Winter vacation went pretty well for me considering what I did. For most of the vacation, I watched A LOT of movies. Mainly the Harry Potter series. Ok ok ok. I admit it. I had never seen Harry Potter before the break. I already had the first 3 movies at my house but never watched them before. So when my sisters friend Jessica came over, we all watched the 3rd movie. Lets just say we got addicted. Here is how many times we watched each movie this break:

• 2 - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
• 4 - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
• 5 - Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
• 4 - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
• 4 - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
• 2 - Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
  

We have an American DVD player upstairs, so we could only see the first three up there. We kept on harassing our dad to let us see the other ones downstairs, but he watch ESPN or something, and installed a multi-system DVD player upstairs so we could see them all and leave him in peace. The time I went to bed during the Potterfest was about midnight, and because of that, I got up between 9 - 10:00 in the morning. The only other movie we saw besides that was Shrek the Third. That makes up for all the time away from the cinema, don't you think?

Staying home was ok considering the circumstances. As you saw earlier, I watched a buttload of movies and stayed up until I was forced to close my eyes. But it was also a good time for me to read. I read at least 10 books over the break: Hoot, The Legend 

of Holly Claus, The Last Olympian, The Battle of the Labyrinth

InuYasha

Volume 1, InuYasha Volume 2, Ranma 1/2, Savvy, Project Paris, and the Wednesday Wars. I have read so many it will take me a while to post them 

all. Also a good time to exercise...I mean swim. :D My dad, sister and I went and bought these huge inflatable boats (big enough for me to stretch my legs out) with oars and everything and let us use them on our pool. Swi

mming in our pool is usually a lot of fun because: (1) we bring the iPod dock outside (2) my sister and I always come up with fun games and contests (3) it is almost always sunny outside. But these past few days the chemicals in our pool have gone really weird so we haven't been able to swim much. :( but other than that, A GREAT VACATION!!
