Learned more here than I did in my High School Spanish class
As someone that has always had a difficulty with learning languages, it is nice to find a way that challenges me and keeps me involved. Duolingo is a game that helps you learn - a learning tool that feels like a game.

Give it a shot if you have not already.

MERRY-GO-ROUND Love
Contains spoilers, click to show
I enjoyed this book, that being said. I was a little let down. Stephanie Perkins does an amazing job on getting the reader back to high school years and that first love. I could feel the butterflis while reading those passages. I was a little upset that it took so long for the characters to get together. They went round and round. Over all I would recommend this book.

"I first read this before I had the emotional range or life experience to grasp what it was really about. I still loved it, and every time I came back to it, it had more resonance. It was also the book assigned to me in high school art, to design a cover. I rather simplistically painted my left hand, full of darkness. It was the moment I realized I was not headed to art college."

"I love James St. James’ Disco Bloodbath, [the book] Party Monster is based on. I’ve known him for about 300 years. He writes the same way he speaks. I know how his mind works, so it’s fun to peek in and hang with him and his sensibilities. His other one, [Freak Show], Trudie Styler made a movie of that book with Bette Midler! It’s about a teenage drag queen in high school."

"I had a group of friends who were all into rap, and we’d drive around and listen to jazzy, laid-back East Coast hip hop. If you didn’t go into New York it was boring, so we’d spend endless time driving in my friend’s car listening to Digable Planets, A Tribe Called Quest or De La Soul. I wrote an article for my high school newspaper about the hidden links between punk and rap."
