Blog #88

I was sick during Christmas, so the celebrations have been put on hold. I finished reading the Lord of the Flies in 2 days, and found the story haunting and distracted me from the symptoms of my cold. I also started reading To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. It was also a very attention-capturing book, and I plan on finishing it tomorrow. I also made a really interesting discovery today: the Podcast section in the iTunes music store is a treasure chest. The podcasts are in either audio or video format, and cover a wide range of topic from science, politics, and music to comedy, news, and personal podcasts. I found many informative video podcasts from National Geographic and NOVA and audio emissions from Voice of America and CBC. I could not believe that all these resources are free and accessible to anyone with an Internet connection. I must take advantage of all this.
