Pride and Prejudice

It's been a while since I've posted. Nothing too terribly exciting is happening right now in my life. I got a 3.8 gpa my first semester at BYU, and my first since the mission. On New Years Eve I rear-ended a van, and my dad said a couple swear words when I told him. (A few choice words may have escaped from my mouth as well.) Classes have started up again and being in a creative writing class has really made me realize how badly I suck at writing creatively. Oh well, it's fun. My sister-in-law is going to have a baby soon (shout out to NINA and Lil' Eric!). And my sister is also pregnant again. I went and saw True Grit over the break and loved it! Last weekend my sisters and my mom drove down to Provo. We saw BYU's production of Peter Pan, then we went out to dinner. At Olive Garden I met a woman from Madrid (our lovely, old server) named Julia, and I loved speaking Spain Spanish with her.

As for the title of this post, I have started reading Pride and Prejudice. I have read it several times before, and each time I read it I love it more. I love Jane Austen, I think she is funny and witty. One of my favorite lines from the book is when Eliza says, "Stupid men are the only ones worth knowing, after all." We're reading it for my Brit Lit class, but I am getting a head start. While it's certainly not in my top three favorite books, it may be somewhere in the top ten! I think I will read Persuasion next, just for fun. I have never read it. Opinions on that one? Anybody?
