So I haven’t posted in forever but I am going to try to post a bit more for my last 7 months in Vietnam…and I’m going to start with one of my accomplishments for 2011. I decided that because I won’t be able to do a lot of pleasure reading in grad school, I wanted to read 50 books in 2011. In fact, I read 66 and here they are…message me if you want recommendations!
