How to Read in the Bath | OWLs Readathon Weeks 2 & 3

so I get a lot of questions along the lines of how do you read in the bath and I could never read in the bath without getting my book wet and so you are so beautiful and brilliant and I wish I was just like you and because I am beautiful and brilliant as well as extremely generous I thought today I would put together the definitive how-to guide on how to read in the bath no yes hey YouTube it's Zoe and welcome to week 2 of the owl's magical read-a-thon [Music] in case you didn't watch last week's vlog the apples magical read-a-thon is a month-long read-a-thon inspired by the owls exams from Harry Potter there are 12 book prompts that match the 12 classes at Hogwarts and I am currently halfway through the Sun is also a star by Nicola Yoon which is my book for astronomy I'm going for a Wizarding career and that one is in the Department of mysteries I want to be an unspeakable and that means I need to read four more books four more books are required so I finished charms and I still have to read a book from Defense Against the Dark Arts history of magic potions and Transfiguration my goal for this week is to try to read as much as possible which is kind of the goal for all readathons but I really didn't try to read that much last week I was easing into the read-a-thon but now I'm ready to go full force it would be nice to get halfway through the prompts because we are going to be halfway through the month but I mean you know I don't know also I just remembered that tomorrow I have jury duty I am 23 years old and this is my third time being summoned for jury duty and my sister is three years older than me and has only been summoned once my dad's only been some in four or five times how is this fair why do they want me so badly jury duty makes me so anxious I know it's my civic duty and it will help to keep things impartial um but I cannot have someone's life in my hands kids a message from your elder don't get older don't become an adult so much responsibility will be thrust upon you and you will not be ready but maybe they'll hate me but it is still today so we have to get stuff done today it is currently 5:45 I am done with the first rough draft of last week's weekly vlog I am going to do my final edit of that and then hopefully I will finish the Sun is also a star so that I can start with a new book Morrow during jury duty Whoopie it's now 8:15 p.m. and I am still editing this vlog I can edit four days and I'll still not be done I've been editing since 9:00 a.m. with this one video and I'm still not done so I think I'm going to stop editing tonight I'm going to spend the rest of the night reading because otherwise I will not fall asleep until I finish editing this my perfectionism really is great sometimes I hope to finish the Sun is also a star tonight I have less than 200 pages and I'm really enjoying it but I also am trying to get on a good sleep schedule this week this is the week that I turn into a new person a new well-rested personal oh I'm just going to read and see where the night takes me baby oh I hated that I'm never gonna say baby again I also I finally got to color in one of the potions bottles because I finished charms last week and I think it's so cute I'm trying to make it kind of themed to the book that I read I'm going to go make some hot chocolate with cinnamon because it is 20 times better when you put a little bit of cinnamon in your hot chocolate take it from me [Music] hello it's past midnight I just finished the Sun it's also star and that ending was so great I am NOT going to spoil this book for you but I very much recommend it I came into this book expecting one thing and it turned into something much more than just like a teenage romance book if the ending happened the way I was expecting it to going into it I wouldn't have liked it as much I really liked the choices that Nikola youn made how do you go to bed after feeling this many emotions I am dead pleased to meet you it is Tuesday and luckily I could not have to go to jury duty today I did not know that they usually ask for more jurors and they actually need just in case of emergencies so I was one of those emergency people and good thing nobody did any cries today so I didn't to go to court Thank You criminals for taking a day off just for me I truly let out a breath I did not know I was holding so I finished the Sun is also a star last night I also filled out the potions bottle it came out a little messy you but it's still fun it looks kind of tie-dye II but that means that I have finished two classes so far so I think that already means that I got an acceptable on all of my o WL so I can just stop now be okay with mediocre no not here on red bye Zoey we're going for gold so let's pick the next book I'll be reading I think I want to go for another required class so I still need to finish history of magic which means a book that's more than ten years old potions I need to read a sequel Transfiguration I need to read a book with the red cover Oh Defense Against the Dark Arts so that means I would need to read ruin and rising but that means first I need to read sage and storm that's a sequel so it could count for potions you know what you know what I need to read this I need to so why delay the inevitable why why don't we just read it I don't know why I have so many negative thoughts towards this series already I only read the first book shadow and bone and I thought it was okay it wasn't great it was a mind-blowing but it was okay just the thought of continuing with the series I've been feeling negatively towards it because everybody's told me to feel negatively towards it am I actually against the series I don't think I am I think it's perfectly okay you know what we're gonna do right now we're going to do something really exciting that fills me with a lot of joy we're going to pick the color for siege and storm for my daily page counts of course we need to pick a green but what color green hmm so this looks like a pastel green do you agree I can't hear you you'll need to speak up a little bit more Oh something I didn't show you last vlog was my 20 19 reviews notebook so I write down every single book that I read in the year and then I write down my notes on it while I'm reading it but this is also where I color code so here on the front page I use the color that I assigned for each book to write down every book that I've read so far this year why do I write it down and also have this bookshelf can't tell you they both are different in my eyes I just love writing things down and making them look pretty so we can see what my last green color was because I don't like to use the same color for too many books I like to keep it nice and varied so this I just used this this one is oh that matches really well though dilemma this one is more of a mint and it fits the front pretty well and I haven't used this one in a while so sage in storm is going to be mint green wasn't that the most exciting minute of your life here's the front page my reading journal I actually forgot to write down the Sun is also a star after I finished reading it so let's do that right now in the purple I selected for the book now it's complete okay moving on here are my notes from all the books I've read so far this year I use these notes when I'm doing my wrap ups for the month I didn't write down any notes during my 24 hour read-a-thon what types of thoughts am I going to have on Fox in socks by dr. Seuss here's my oats for the Night Circus and for the Sun is also a star and here is where we're going to write the notes for siege and storm so that's all I do to set it up it's not hard at all it just helps me keep my thoughts in order this obviously is when I am starting the book I will put when I finish the book it's also the 31st book that I've read this year so that is exciting I thought I'd share with you what I do with my bullet journal and my reading journal just to give you a few ideas if you're looking for a new way to organize your reading but whatever works for you works for you for example you may hate color coding I don't trust you as a person because who doesn't love color coding but I mean as long as it works for you oh goodness I forgot that I get a pick a new bookmark for my new book obviously this is a book for potion so I think we have to pick Snape as the bookmark I am Snape the potions master let me know down below what is your opinion on Snape he is a very divisive figure it's not like Dolores Umbridge or Voldemort where nobody likes him but there are some real Snape stands out there I am NOT one of them I personally don't think that one good deed completely erases a thousand bad deeds especially ones that are aimed at Neville who didn't do anything let me know down below let's start some fights in the comments Snape and I are gonna go read now bye happy Wednesday did you see the picture of the black hole I wonder if it's I just finished editing my collab the last collab with Hailey and Hannah I only read 23 pages of sage and storm last night I went to bed at like 9:30 p.m. probably like 10 still wait earlier that I usually do I fell asleep while reading this actually I read the first couple of pages and I was so confused I only read the first book shadow and bone back in January at the end of January and I completely forgot what happened I forgot what the characters names were except for the darkling I forgot why she was where she is at the beginning of this book but luckily three captains they had an entire summary of shadow and bones so I read that but you know it's fun four o'clock my time so in just a couple of minutes on the magical read-a-thon Twitter I will link all of the magical read-a-thon stuff down below in the description if you want to check it out but they do almost daily Hogwarts class quizzes there are trivia quizzes and the first two or three people to get the answer correct gets 20 house points so obviously I want to do my civic duty since I couldn't go to jury duty I want to do my other civic duty and give Raven cloths and house points I love trivia quizzes but time to trivia quizzes whoa I'm already getting the nervous sweats okay it is starting G writes like a whole story to go along with the quiz okay so let me read this out to you you walk into the classroom and you can sense that this is a no BS zone the walls are almost bare apart from an occasional Ministry of Magic significant achievements award everything in the classroom is lined up to an inch making it look more like a chessboard than a class looking walks professor vector the teacher who's known amongst the students as one without a shred of sense of humor or ability to detect sarcasm Weasley twins had a blast in her classes winky face she sets her briefcase down and straightens up a pencil so it lines up with the parchment on the desk she waves her wand and you can hear the luck behind you quick she straight-up refuses to let anyone in if there even a second late she sets out the slightest of size and looks up at the class welcome students to another lesson of the art and science of numbers it is a discipline of precision its beauty is not met by any other branch of magic her eyes lit up for a second before her gaze drops and she appears even more tense than before if possible yet some mama teachers feel like my lessons have been I'm entertaining she spits the word like poison turning away and walking behind her desk so today we are having a little never has she said a word that did not suit her worse a fun quiz she honestly seems an emotional agony as she continues was suggested of dates and numbers that are by some illness and like in the colleagues of mine considered of interest or import house points of value of twenty I'm going to be given away to those who answer fast she lets on a side that seems to contain such defeat it's almost saddening but the class perks up at the mention of house points and a quiz can be fun right even with missus funds beneath me right there okay now it's time for the questions to come on in what okay new question okay question one attention Ravenclaw and Slytherin sized me what they did you know who killed Carrie para Potter's parents um um okay he was born in 1980 so is 1981 Halloween I got 20 points for Raven cloth this is my shining mom and do-do-do-do-do-do hat okay question number two is for hufflepuffs and Slytherin so it's not for me but we can still answer it anyway what part Vila is Fleur Delacour it was her mother's mother so her grandmother so 1/4 right and we were right oh you can't see it there a quarter question number three is for even causing Gryffindor's in what year was a Chamber of Secrets first opened okay so it was fifty years before Harry was there and nineteen forty three forty three because okay I think what's at the end of their time that hovers okay I need to stop talking you didn't answer this we were right well we're also too slow how is everybody answering this so quickly question number four is for Raven Klaasen hufflepuffs again okay according to Fred and George and the marauders map how many secret passages are there from Hogwarts to hogs me not now dog okay so I'm pretty sure it was seven because she used seven for everything don't let me down please never use another number we were right again but also only a couple of seconds behind I'm trying my best okay I'm pretty sure that was the last question because we went against every other house so the other ones we can take our sweet time whoa it's me Mario question five for slytherins and Gryffindor's how many accurate prophecy is this professor Trelawney make she makes two wine was obviously the big bad one about Harry and Voldemort and she was getting interviewed by Dumbledore for the divination position and the second one was in Prisoner of Azkaban about Wormtail coming back and helping out Good Old Baldy Baldy Baldy Baldy Baldy Baldy bald and more also did you know that I really like professor Trelawney every time I had a cosplay a Harry Potter character I always chose her I just brushed out my hair and I just wrapped myself in a bunch of scar it seems like I really like the Raven claw professors I love Lockhart obviously it was pretty obvious and I love Trelawney I also love Flitwick and the final question question number six for hufflepuffs and Gryffindor's when Harry and Arthur Weasley entered the Ministry of Magic via public entrance what number does mr. Weasley dial to get in I know it smells out magic but I forget what numbers those are so let's try and call somebody that would be six two four four two so I think I got all of them technically right oh there's more story at the end yeah all right well I hope you've had fun next week we are back at studying lost properties of number 2 188 the historical importance of such loss and magical techniques of reestablishing stability in twos I expect a foot long essay on the significance of a number prior to its fall the classic grunts in unison the chair starts screeching as they're lazily dragged away and on cue our excitingly gushing about a study group for the set s a study group could anybody invite me as you walk by the Great Hall you sneak a peek at the house points glass ravenclaw blonde we finally win a house cup at Harry Potter world ravenclaw is in last place I'm pretty sure ravenclaw it's also in last place at the Harry Potter experience in London what's with all the ravenclaw hey everybody finally we're taking our victory that's a lot of fun though but now we are going to read actually first I need to go out to the garden and pluck some green beans and stuff for dinner we had so many green beans and some little cherry tomatoes I'm trying to trick myself into liking Tomatoes it's not going so well I am 74 pages into this book and a lot has happened but honestly the first 50 pages were boring I just was not invested at all we got the darkling who I don't like him and I don't understand why he has so many stands people who are like oh yeah he's so cute I want to date the darkling why why I would like to have a talk with her mother's we also met storm Munster Hans and I know that he's going to be important later I really like him so far I feel like he is a breath of fresh air in this book because I honestly don't care about any of the characters I think that's the biggest part about this book the plot is pretty interesting I like the world I like the different classes of magic users and trying to find the magic amplifiers I think that's really interesting but the characters are just this was written in 2013 they are 2013 characters [Music] you know it really upsets me that they don't call her the son winner come on Leigh bardugo I thought you were a writer I know I just said that Alena is a pretty stereotypical 2012 why a protagonist but I think her greed and her being power-hungry is quite interesting also I still hate mal goodbye [Music] you you you [Music] hey friends it is Friday I just finished getting ready for bookmarked I need to set up my mic and everything I just finished doing my makeup and I'm not sure if you can tell but my eyeliner I did really weirdly today I have no idea what was happening I was watching a video while I was putting on my eyeliner and my hand got carried away because I don't want anyone seeing it except you who I am actively showing my terrible eyeliner I'm going to put on my glasses so it hides some of the evidence no one will know I'm 70 pages from the end of siege and storm um nothing has happened so far nothing is there a climax to this book because I'm really confused the only person I care about is Nikolai he's the only interesting character I think it might just be a bad case of middle book syndrome that it's setting up all of the plot points for the last book there's a lot of talk about political and military strategy which is interesting but not entertaining this will fulfill my requirement for potions class and potions class is not that exciting so this kind of worked rosemary Potter on it make it better ok we're gonna start the live show now turn to page 394 the best impression you've ever heard thank you hello Zoe the Victorian ghost here to haunt your dreams ooh I got a nightgown and I feel very Jane Austen II so I finished a siege and storm it's a solid low three-star book here is a chart I've put together showing the excitement level of the plot the moments where there was action I was invested in the story the moments that Nikolai and Alina were you know bantering that was cute but when she was with mal no he has as much romantic charisma as a sea lion I don't know why I just bashed sea lions but there we go so I finished this this was 432 pages but it felt like 800 I want something exciting and I think I know the book that I want to pick I'm pretty sure I want to read truly devious by Maureen Johnson next because this is a murder mystery is set at a boarding school also I think this is historical fiction which is exciting as well I'm reading this book for herbology class because I don't know if you can see yes you can see there are a bunch of vines on the cover so let's pick our most herbology bookmark oh oh yes it's from the creatures collection the little Mandrake or mandragora I can hear the screams from here which is perfect for a murder mystery something that I want to listen to tonight when I am reading my book is I want to try out ASMR I have been a really wary of ASMR in the past simply because it makes me kind of uncomfortable because the ASMR creators or the ASMR artists the ASM artists is that what they're called because I really hope so but they make a lot of extreme eye contact with you while they are making their noises and also you get like the tangles in your spine while you're looking deep into their soul and they're looking deep into your soul while you're tingling and I've just been very uncomfortable with that but I found an ASM artist that they don't include their face in their videos also the best part about them is that they have themed ASMR around Harry Potter different rooms at Hogwarts and in the Wizarding World in general they have ones for Game of Thrones but I've only seen one episode of Game of Thrones they had one for Howl's Moving Castle and it's all animated so it just shows the room it's nice and calming and you don't have any one-on-one eye contact reading all of your secrets right now I'm going to go wash up my face mask and then we are going to listen to our ASMR and read our murder mystery ASMR door mystery I don't think that's gonna catch on I know you are a thousand percent invested in my color-coordinating adventures so truly devious color is this blue [Applause] so I'm just going to come out and say it if no one else will but I think that this Harry Potter ASMR might be better than the Harry Potter ASMR that Hannah Haley and I did on Hannah's channel we had no idea what we were doing and it was just for laughs I switched from the Great Lake ASMR to the Hogwarts Library one because obviously a creaking door that really goes with the murder mystery I think this might make me a believer an ASM mark Howe that what people who like ASMR cold I hope so I am 32 pages into it and I did not realize I didn't read the back of this before I started eight I didn't know it was half historical fiction and a half present-day so half of it takes place in the 1930s I was initially disappointed when it switched to present perspective for the first time because I thought it was all going to be set in the 1930s but you know I enjoy our main character Stevie for somebody who really likes mysteries I really don't read very many I need to fix that and this is my first step in fixing that rectifying that wrong I have acted against myself do I need sleep right now I might howdy there partner welcome to Saturday well actually Sunday because it is 2:45 in the morning I edited earlier and then I read for a good part of the day and then I was facetiming with Hannah and watching avatar with her for a few hours so the day got away from me but I am loving this so much that's also why I'm up at 2:45 a.m. because I can't put this down it's a mystery so I need to know what happens I suspect everybody but there's one person that I have in mind this has parallel mysteries so there is the 1930s mystery and then there is a present-day mystery and they kind of coincide I just want you to know that this is great if you want a mystery pick this up also I have the sequel on my shelf and the sequel let's go and see it the sequel has a red cover so Transfiguration book here I come I honestly had low expectations with this because I've read a Maureen Johnson book before and I didn't really like it it was one of her white contemporary books but this is her genre I don't know how this is going to be a series because there's a sequel and this is part of a trilogy the third one hasn't come out yet but I'm wondering if there's one overarching mystery or if it's kind of like Nancy Drew where there's different mysteries in each book but there's the same main character mmm also fun fact but I read most of this on April 13th in April 13th 1936 was the day of the kidnapping thing the big thing that starts the entire book so I felt like it was such it was the perfect day to actually sit down and read this well fun fact number two the main character Stevie she suffers from anxiety and this is great anxiety rep Stevie has a therapist she is on medication and she knows different coping mechanisms have I convinced you to read this yet I hope so I hope I'm doing a good job of conveying how much I am bought out at that loving it good night hello everybody welcome to Sunday from my bath in my ravenclaw robes and a bubble bath I probably messed up these robes but I don't know why I filmed this section of the video but I wanted to watch me in case you wanted some actual tips on how to read in the bath keep your elbows up don't submerge your book in the bath I have personally never gotten a book really wet in a bath so I don't know what all you are doing also sometimes the this little reading caddy when I have something to drink as well okay now I'm going to get out the back it is now 11 p.m. and I finished truly devious I loved it so much it's so intricately plotted the plot is airtight and the whole time I was trying to figure out who did it or what the mystery even was and I only figured it out right before our main character dad which I mean might mean I'm dumb there was a romance in it and I wasn't obsessed with it it was okay I came around to it in the end things I D rap was great the mystery was great the school the boring school were at set I want to go there so badly because there are secret passageways and because I loved it I picked up the vanishing stare for Transfiguration if it'll focus our McGonagall bookmark in reference to my question yesterday about this series there is an overarching mystery to the entire series everything is not wrapped up in the first book so it's not like Nancy Drew this is just reminding me how much I love mysteries hi this is the first mystery why a series that I've ever heard about are there other ones in general if you have any mystery recommendations from me it can be adult mysteries ye mysteries some classic mysteries some cozy mysteries let me know so I am going to include somewhere on the screen the total number of pages that I read this week it's up from last week so huzzah that's all I could ask for and here's my updated bullet journal for the week if you were interested the doodles I made for the potions bottles and my color coordination yeah yeah it is April 15th so we are halfway through the month and I've only read four books so far and my goal was to read 12 so all you do just fine I lied I'm dying inside it is currently 3:30 p.m. and surprise surprise I've been editing all day I am still editing this 24 hour readathon vlog I had five hours of footage and I have two hours of footage left to go through for my first draft I'm also going to socialize this week Wow I'm going to go to a sleepover with my oldest friend I haven't seen her in months and then Maureen from Warren kV is coming down to Florida so we're going to have dinner or something I don't know we're going to see each other it's going to be fun I'm actually going to prove that I have friends so let's talk about what I am currently reading I'm only 48 pages into this so I'm not really sure how I'm feeling about it but we have met some new characters from the 1930s and I love following their storyline hi I'm here with Haley I love you oh yeah they're Gucci oh my gosh we're planning bookmarked right now and it's going to be all about rereading books but um also I just love looking at her so that's why I wanted to FaceTime how to read in the bath part to don't get it wet put it on a tray I also use frozen bubble bath read by Zoe approved behold it is I the girl who edits too much it is currently five o'clock and I've been editing since 7:30 this morning I think it's time to call it a day and actually read something for once I only read like 17 pages of the vanishing stare yesterday because I started to be watching Parks and Recreation yet again it is I think it's probably my favorite show of all time I aspire to be Leslie Knope I am big enough to admit that I am often inspired by myself my favorite quote from her is when she's making her dating profile and one of her interests is jamming on her planner if that isn't me I don't know what is I've spent the last few months brainstorming and I have some really great ideas and I put them in my idea binders I mean they're color coded for God's sake but I've been staring at a screen for too long now I'm going to go stare at a page I have read a little bit more of the vanishing stare it's not as good as truly devious but I think it's because it's a sequel so it's kind of expanding the mystery and adding new elements I think the ending of this is going to be really good but for now we're just being introduced to more drama and more characters my favorite part of this one as well as the first book truly devious are the parts that are set in the 1930s because I love historical fiction and I just think that the characters in the 1930s were more interesting to read about but that's also probably because I think they're all a suspect in the murder so I might be looking more into their personalities I still like Stevie I still like her friends there is a non-binary character I believe named v V it's VI now I have a hunch on who did the deed in the first book who did the 1930s murder mystery kidnapping thing it has not changed from the first book because a sequel in a murder mystery trilogy how am I supposed to talk about this but boy like anything now I want to make my reading tonight kind of special so I'm going to light a candle here's one that I have owned for I think more than a year but I haven't burned it yet because I've been saving it for a special occasion like I do with all of my fancy things this is from in the wick of time I got it on Etsy and the scent is Jane Austen's writing-desk I don't actually it doesn't say what it smells like but it smells kind of fruity I can't I don't know since it smells like IKEA and then I want to listen to some more of the Harry Potter ASMR realms thing this room is the borough if it will focus woo also I painted my nails earlier hello everybody it is Friday I finally finally finished editing that day 24 hour readathon vlog so you don't need to hear me talk about it ever again I did finish the vanishing stare this morning my initial suspect I was right and I feel so good about it except um there's more to this story so I didn't catch every single plot twist but that's how you know it's a good mystery so I finished transfiguration and now I need to finish history of magic and defence against the dark arts I'm just going to be honest with you today I wasn't even sure if I was going to vlog because I am in a really bad mood I am very anxious I've been anxious since yesterday since I uploaded my 24 hour readathon I am very anxious perfectionist and I spent so long on the video that seeing that it didn't turn out perfectly I am so mad at myself that's not the reason why my anxiety has been so bad today it was already was pretty high and then that happened and then I have bookmarked tonight and Maureen from Maureen TV is in town so I'm going to go see her tonight and then tomorrow I have to go to a sleepover with my best friend I like all of those things I like my friends I like talking to them but having to socialize when I'm feeling this way is adding more anxiety and the fact that I'm so far behind in the Reading Challenge all of those things are just making me really anxious today so I wasn't sure if I was going to vlog today because I wasn't feeling great and I didn't want you to see me in this state one of the things that was making my anxiety worse was the fact that I hadn't vlogs in a couple of days you see you see the dilemma you feel anxious about doing things and then when you don't do those things the guilt of not doing those things makes you even more anxious and it's just a vicious cycle anyway this is a read-a-thon vlog you did not click on this video to hear me complain so we're going to pick my next book I think I want to read a book for history of magic and I realized that all of the Harry Potter books are more ten years old so all of them count for history of magic I know at the beginning of this read-a-thon I said that I only wanted to read books that were on my TBR said I could pare that down a little bit but I feel like I want to read something soothing I want to reread a book that is actually bookmarks topic for the week is rereading book so let's get the book actually I have several copies of the first Harry Potter book I have this one right here which is the first copy that I ever read when I was six years old but it is falling apart I've glued it together several times and I'm really trying to preserve this so I'm not going to read this copy because I don't think it could take another read through I have the Illustrated version and then I have this copy oh this copy right here the Scots Edition it's all in a Scottish dialect similarly I have this version in Italian I don't speak any Italian I have the UK hardback that I got from the Harry Potter tour in London first look at this and then oh ho ho and finally I have the original u.s. hardback so I have options which is good but I think I want to read the UK hardback one because it's cute and two because it's small it's the size of a paperback but it's a hardback so there's no danger of me destroying it and of course I had to choose this bookmark I think that I need a self-care weekend and this is really going to help with that I just hit my head with this book I really want to get that knowledge in there study up for history of magic and I don't just mean self-care in the form of face masks and doing my nails although I really do like both of those things but I mean more in the form of leaving the house and going to see friends getting out of my head for a little while spending some time actually reading and not on Twitter all the time he's a ferocious beast let me win for what you're so cruel hi so it is now 7:14 we just finished with bookmark and it felt so good to talk about rereading books with my friends I'm about to leave for Disney Springs where I'm going to meet up with Maureen I'm going to listen to my audio book on the way to see her the storm is still raging I don't want to drive on the highway in the rain but alas I care about my friends hi so it is midnight it's past midnight actually and I am home I had a real nice couple of hours with Maureen at Disney springs during the VR which is so cool I've never done it before but wow I really was in the Star War I'm happy that I turn this day around kind of I felt terrible this morning and I didn't want to do anything it was a mixture of me listening to myself and not pushing myself too hard with reading letting myself reread a book but also pushing myself to do things I know a lot of people tell me that your mental health is the most important thing that you should focus on that and take some time if you need it but I and the queen of mental health breaks so I think the best thing for me when I'm feeling anxious or depressed is to get out and do something be productive instead of letting myself have a little pity party in my honor so that's my little piece of advice if you're able to we'll go out and see some friends because they're really fun that's why they're friends hey everybody welcome to Saturday I am currently parked at a rest stop on the highway because I am on my way to my old college town to have a sleepover with my oldest best friend we've been best friends and seventh grade when we bonded over Twilight we were roommates our first freshman year of college currently she's at vet school and I am so proud of her I've been listening to Harry Potter during my drive it's just been a whole bunch of fun people were looking I had to stop vlogging okay see you later hello it is I Zoey in a desert Rachael my best friend since seventh grade we're watching she's the man you can't see can you see now yes you can see we used to watch it every single sleepover all of middle school and it is the best sports movie ever made we also have some snacks and some doggies right here you can't see uh-huh hi this is Jade oh yeah he they're all pooped out because they were at the dog part I'm not reading because I am socializing instead cheated by you and I think you know Ben so I made up my mind it must come to an end me now will I ever learn I don't know how but I suddenly lose control oh there's a fire within my circle so I'm going to end this vlog I didn't get a lot of reading done the last couple of days because I was socializing whoa but I've been listening to the Harry Potter audiobook before going to bed and while driving so I've gotten a little bit of the way through that there's only nine days left of the read-a-thon and I have many books left to read so that'll be fun I'm really happy that I took this weekend to see friends and take care of myself I feel nice and refreshed I feel content so let's do the flip through of the bullet journal see how much I read this week let's have our total page count
