OMG: Best Day Ever, Changing Hand Book Store, ARCS, and Michael Grant

      I just had the best day ever.
      So I'm studding right now to be a teacher, today I had my first observation. My teacher came in and watched me teach a lesson. It when how I expected, I need a Lot more practice but I know that. After that I went out to a great lunch, and then the library. I picked up to books, the second and third of the Mercy Thompson Series by Patricia Briggs, great series.
      Then I left to go to my college. I called my dad as a walked into Circle K to buy some ice tea, to tell him that I got the books. He told that Michael Grant was coming to Changing Hand Bookshop, a great book store that I had only heard of.
       Now I LOVE Michael Grant, He is the author of the Gone Series, one of my top three series currently. So I excited asked my dad when he was going to be there. And then my day went bad for about 2 seconds, my dad said "Tonight". I was SO mad, I was screaming at him, how could he tell me that now, why would he tell me that when he knew I had school form 5pm to 930pm so I could never go.
        It took me a few seconds to realise, I only had school from 5pm to 7pm tonight, because my second class was canceled. I still had the problem of the event starting at 7pm, but luckily my school was only about 20 minutes away from eh book store. Right after class I ran to my car and drove as fast as I legally could, (speeding scares me <.<). I got to the store at 725pm, I was expecting a crowed, because ITS MICHAEL GRANT. The store was almost empty, so I walked to the back, and found a group of about six people, an awesome employee Robin and Micheal Grant sitting on chairs just chatting. I quickly just sat down on a chair, and joined the conversation.
BEST TIME EVER. Found out Gone is being made into a movie possibly last time I heard anything about it Grant said it was practically impossible for that to happen. I learned a lot about some other random book stuff which was awesome. Michael Grant is amazing, he is really interesting and friendly.
         I won a contest for an ARC copy of a book he co wrote with his wife, called Eve and Adam. It doesn't come out tell October. The first chapter is amazing, I don't think I'm going to be sleeping tonight.
           OH Fear the next book in the Gone Series comes out in less then a week (six days). Cant wait to get my hand on this book.
           The only problem I have now is, to many books to read, but luckily I ready fast.
Also Changing Hand book store is fantastic.
