We went on retreat day in August.  It was a sunny and hot day, and mostly fun.  I had a lot of fun at the blind school. We took a bus there and the bus ride was even fun.  I was at there with teachers from both schools, the blind students, and my friends. Our freshman retreat day was on a Friday.

When we were there, we wore blind glasses.  They were kind of disorienting. That was a whole different experience. It was kind-of frightening and exciting at the same time. It felt like it messed up my eyes, but I had a lot of fun. Then we made a big mess when we decorated boxes.

 It was a blast, and airconditioned, too! Our box was a mess, but it was fun, and the teachers were alright with it. We played War Ball when we got back to Episcopal.  It was a great day!

Have you ever read a super long book that you just didn't like?  I have.  My second reading book was Cover Her Face by P.D. James. It was a classic mystery and the start of the famous Adam Dalgliesh series. I found it slightly boring. It was mainly about the murder of Sally Jupp, a maid at Martingale, an estate in England.  I liked some of the backstories, like how Sally Jupp had an infant son.

I forgot the exact reason why I chose this book; I think my mother gave it to me. My brother also read the book, too and he was bored as well. The book just felt all-around forgettable. I may try to read it again one day and see if it holds my interest more.  If you like mysteries and think you might want to give it a try, I'd love to hear if you liked it.  If you did, what did you like about it?  You can find out more about the Adam Dalgliesh series at https://www.goodreads.com/series/40353-adam-dalgliesh.

One of my reading books was The Great Gatsby. I personally think I was too young to get the full experience. My brother liked it. I got it because it was famous. I think they made a movie of it a few years ago.



I found the book confusing. I wasn’t always the fond of Gatsby himself. I may reread the book someday. The book was kind of sad. I liked some elements.
