All I've got is time and a book list

I don't know about anyone else, but for me, Fridays are the looongest day of the week. I have been watching the clock since I got here this morning and it isn't going any faster now than it was at 9 am. I have been working on making a list of books I'd like to read, with the help of a website called FantasticFiction.com. It's two and a half pages already and still growing...
I'm looking forward to lunch in ten minutes. After I get back from lunch, it's all downhill from there, thank goodness.
I think tonight will be spent either reading a book or hanging out at the parents' (which means Zak's parents' house in Millville, for those of you not familiar with that particular piece of lingo--it is also referred to as the folks', the Zoo, etc.) and watching tv. My life is certainly exciting... :)
Zak reports that his rat has not been behaving very well. He has a lab for his summer psychology class and the idea is to train the rat to perform various tasks. His rat is being rather recalcitrant. I guess it works for the first ten minutes, and then it's done. Zak was pretty excited at first at the thought of working with rats, but I think the excitement has worn off a lot... More later.

Hello!

This is my first entry, obviously. I thought this might be a good way to keep in better touch with my family, primarily, and also friends who I don't see too often. I don't have much to say except that this has been a very quiet week at work. Zak is finishing up his last two weeks of summer school, and is almost done working for Louise at the copy center, thank goodness. He hasn't enjoyed copy center 2 as much as he does copy center 4.
I am currently reading book 6 in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, and enjoying that. His books seem to get longer and longer, and the print smaller and smaller. I guess that's about all. I'm looking forward very much to going to St. Louis August 17th for Carolyn's wedding. I love going home to St. Louis. I know Cache Valley is home for now, but I think St. Louis will always be home.
I hope all of you guys are doing well. I need to start closedown at work... See you!
