I continue to study for several hours almost every day. Today is the 7th, and 12 days from now I leave for a week at the lake with my dad and Kimberly's family. I plan to take my study materials with me, and I'll be there until the 25th. Then I'll be back in town for only 2 or 3 days before I bus to New York! I feel suddenly aware of how little time I have left. I need to start making packing lists, I suppose, and I may well need to take a trip to Richmond to get some things from my apartment, and all of this needs to happen soon! Tomorrow, I might make a list of things I'm taking. That will be my priority!
I've already decided, as I have several books piling up to be read, that I'll be taking three to the lake, hopefully finishing one there, and the remaining two I'll take to Italy. I don't plan to spend that much time reading, but I was told that it is BEAUTIFUL to sit on the porch in the mornings with a book. And of course I have to kill a great deal of time in planes and on trains. So I'll take The Early Ayn Rand, a collection of early work by the author; All the King's Men, by Robert Penn Warren; and Vanity Fair, by William Thackeray.
This is unrelated to Italy, but now that I'm thinking about it, I'm reading the most interesting book right now! It is called The Gargoyle, by Andrew Davidson. I stumbled upon it at a bookstore, where I didn't buy it, but I checked it out of the library a few days ago. I'm really enjoying it so far.
