That is a good amount!
ReplyDeleteYou mean you've never read science fiction until this past year?
That I can remember. I'm only fifteen and most of my reading until recently was either the extremely popular stuff (Harry Potter), whatever my cousin was reading, or books for Scholastic Reading Competitions, which were generally literary or mainstream.
DeleteI have a feeling my definition of "wicked grades" was much different than yours. ;-) You accomplished quite a bit, Patrick. You've a promising future ahead of you, no doubt about that. I hope 2013 brings you the fulfillment of some dreams.
ReplyDeleteThank you, sir. I was indeed "Most Likely to Succeed" (urg, unintentional rhyme) coming out of Middle School a couple years ago.
