BLOG: Happy New Year!!!

2011 is here and after waking up at 11:56am, and going to bed at about 3:30am I though it was time to let you guys know what I'm looking forward to in the new year. Besides hoping that I get through my second year of Uni with great results, I also am looking forward to...

Number 1: 2011 Movies - there are four films I hoping to see in January and February, just before Uni starts up again...
  • Jan 6: Tangled - Disney's take on the beloved fairytale, Rapunzel.
  • Jan 13: Black Swan - Starring Natalie Portman in the dark role about the competitive world of ballet. Burlesque - Starring Cher and Christina Aguilera about a small town girl wanting to live a big dream.
  • Feb 24: I Am Number Four - Starring Glee's Diana Argon and Stormbreaker's Alex Pettyfer about gifted children who are being hunted here on earth for their powers.
Number 2: Television Shows - well, there's only really one show I'm keeping up with at the moment...
  • Feb 6: Glee - according to IMDb, this is the date Glee comes back to air.
Number 3: Books - so I'm a reader, sue me. But there are a few books I'm reading now that I'm looking forward to share with you...
  • Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris: Brothers of the renowned author, Joshua Harris (I Kissed Dating Goodbye), these twin brothers talk about the myth of adolescence and why our "Teen" years could be better spend doing things that the world would not expect "teenagers" to do. Challenging young adults about going against low expectations.
  • Start Here by Alex and Brett Harris: A follow up to their first book, the Harris twins go about helping teens start where they are to become adults regardless of what the world tells them.
  • The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger: Basically a teenager talking about what it feels like to be a teenager and how he's life is panning out.
  • I Am Number 24 by Pittacus Lore: The book which the film is based on, it takes the story of nine special teens who are trying to escape the hand of power usurpers. Three are dead, and their counting down.
Yeah, so I thought I'd share with you guys what I hope to share with you soon!
