the great gatsby

I think the book is going to be about prohibition relating to America and important events that relate to America today. I haven't been in class but I've done a bit of research and it seems like it might, have something to do with the dawn of major organized crime in America, something to do with alcohol maybe?

As far as interesting stuff goes, I learned that the ammount of money needed to survive has changed since the 1920's. Back then, under a thousand dollars a year was very common and was a livable income. But now it takes almost ten times that much to live in comfort! A huge wakeup call to how much the value of a dollar has really dropped if you ask me.

Winter break

Over this Winter break there are alot of things o want to get done. First off i need to start going to bed at 3 in the morning and waking up at 3 in the afternoon. Once i accomplish that, I will proceed to hangout with every single one of my friends at one time or another and create many awesome memories. I have some plans to see a couple of the new movies coming out, like True Grit and Little Fockers, but there are some friends of mine that will have no fun sitting in a cold movie theatre for hours so i will have to pick someone who is a movie lover.I plan to resist the urge to go through all of my presents before i get them because that always ruins the suprise. Two words: ROAD TRIP!
                     Ive been looking forward to this small taste of summer since the first day of school but in the end I'm really glad it is only a two week break because there is still alot of work i need to get done before this semester. Happy holidays Mrs. Gilman see you on Tuesday
