with this schedule, especially while going to university and working at the coffee shop, but I
try my best. I also really like movies and will sometimes watch a movie from a book after I
have read the book just to see if they’re different and to see which I like more. Usually the
book is better.

Please write and tell me more about yourself, I’d love to hear.

Talk with you soon!
