This Week. . .

So far this week, we've started reading The Alchemist, which is a very good book. So far the story consists of a shepherd who is on a quest to find a hidden treasure that has appeared in his dreams. Along the way, he has met a lady who told him what his dream is supposed to mean, along with an old man who is actually a king. Personally, I feel he won't find his treasure, and if he does, it will be more a personal experience, almost like an epiphany, but we will see, I guess. Also, I have been thinking about a project that I could do which would involve my passion to rap and make hip-hop music.
