I am still reading the same book North of Beautiful and it got a little more interesting. I don't want to spoil too much, but there is a lot going on. So far, Terra is finding a way to sneak into Williams College because she is an artist and they have an amazing art program there. her mom is helping her get into Williams College because her dad isn't supportive and her parents don't get along. Terra got into the College, but her dad doesn't want her to go because it is too far away. Terra wants to go because it is far away. She struggles with this one big problem throughout the pages i've read, and other problems.
 Another problem that she has had is her boyfriend not wanting her to go away for College. He says that he wants her to stay with him and he agrees with her father. They get into an argument and bicker about the matter of leaving for college over two whole pages. She eventually goes to The Nest and Egg gallery (where she works) and gets wise advice from her old lady workers there. This book has gotten better as I read it and I hope that there are more jaw- dropping events I can read!
         
     so far I read 65 minutes of North of Beautiful and I've read 57 minutes of Cold War articles for my social studies project
