Even though coming home is always nice, especially when the warm weather follows you, I still wish I was in Jamaica on the shores of Runaway Bay.

Being Sick Sucks.

In about four days, the boyfriend and I will be making our way on an airplane to Jamaica for a week. It will be his first time to an all-inclusive resort. I'm so excited to spend seven days on a beach with him and a couple of friends. It's definitely a good way to end four years of university.

Before then, though, I do promise to get back on the writing track. I've been battling the flu for a few days and have decided to stay in bed for the majority of that time. Tomorrow, though, I will get out of the house and do some much needed vacation shopping.

I will also get some much needed creative entries in for sure before I depart. I will make it my goal because I feel as if I have become disconnected, for some time, from what has made me the happiest. Taking creative writing classes has made writing become a chore rather than something I depended on for sanity. I guess school makes that happen, especially when you are an English major. Reading, another favourite past-time quickly became one as well.

Just as a quick note/side questions: I work at a book store and I have noticed that a lot of people are coming in for a juicy beach read to take with them on vacation. Many of the women I have talked to have asked for recommendations of the smutty nature. You know, things to read after 50 Shades of Gray and whatnot. This made me think of what I would bring on my week long beach stay. I, the polar opposite of my customers, decided on Chuck Palahnick's Fight Club. Short, intense and yet a read that makes your seamlessly flow from the first to the last page. So, to my question, What is your idea of a perfect beach read, genre or book alike?

Let me know!
