Bright and early Saturday morning brings a lovely smattering of high stakes bubble sheet questions and flustered essay answers. Can't wait for THAT. Until that heavenly Praxis Examination day, you can find me huddled in my room cramming my 3 and a 1/2 years of college into my head like a chipmunk shoving food in its cheeks.
I'm not ashamed to say syntax has never been my forte. I have several "Go-to" books on my shelf I constantly need to reference. There's one in particular that I grabbed this morning to brush up on my semi-colon usage for the Praxis called Eats, Shoots & Leaves. It is the funniest book I've ever read. Period. If you can't tell from the title, it's about punctuation and grammar... Which I am the first to admit wouldn't be the key to any person's funny bone. I've read this book more than once and today, as I hunkered down ready to get serious about my studies, I found myself lacking the restraint to put it down. I don't understand how someone can make me laugh out loud, and not just chuckle a little bit but really laugh hard... About something like an appostrophe or question mark, no less. The lady is a comedic genius and the subject matter just happens to pertain to my career choice. Lucky ducky.
Even if you are not a punctuation stickler, the book is hysterical. Once again, I'm genuinely amazed.
