Let nothing disturb thee,Nothing affright theeAll things are passing;God never changeth;Patient enduranceAttaineth to all things;Who God possessethIn nothing is wanting;Alone God sufficeth.

Sonnet 130- My New Favorite Sonnet by Shakespeare
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

Vampire Academy
Okay so I know that I am kinda delayed with this review considering this book came out in 2007 or something like that, but I'm kinda a slow person (haha). But anyway I absolutely loved this book!!!! :) It was really a fantastic read. Vampire Academy also seemed more realistic then say twilight * cough gay cough*. But back on topic: this book was all around fabulous. Vampire Academy had lots of drama and twists and turns that I would never have expected. I may be a little biased though because I am partial to vampire stories but whatever!! HAHA! Vampire Academy is definitely worth the time it took to read! :)
