Week in Short

I hope everyone had a great week this week! Mine was pretty crazy. There's just so much to do and not a lot of time left to do it in. I still can't believe the summer is almost over.  This time next week I'll be back at college. This means my blogging schedule is going to shift a bit. 

Last year, I dropped my posting down to three and stopped doing Week in Short. This year, I'm going to try to stay with five days a week and keep Week in Short. I'll give it a trial period of a couple weeks and see how that goes. I'm also considering doing some kind of college-related post once a week or every other week. (What do you think? Yay? Nay?)

In other news, I saw The Bourne Legacy this week because Jeremy Renner was in it. Now, I thought it was great but I also haven't seen the other Bourne movies (I know, I know) so I don't really have anything to compare it to.
