pg. 376- end

Guess what everybody!? i finished my book today! about time. i kept trying to finish it, but the bell kept ringing and i kept having to get up and close my book and leave class. it was so frustrating, but i did it! i accomplished it at lunch in between my roll eating and milk drinking and it was really good. i really recommend this book.

Basically this last section, is Craig's last full day at the hospital and the day he leaves. on his last day, Craig makes the executive decision that he is going to transfer out of his extremely hard private school into an art school so that he can pursue the things he likes which is drawing maps of people. Also on his last day, everyone in that part of the hospital that Craig has come to know lines up to watch Craig draw and have him draw a map of them. it's kind of weird actually because they just announce it over the PA system that Craig will be drawing for the public which is boring but i guess if your cooped up in a hospital and have mental issues, it can be entertaining.

That night after Craig's family comes for their last visit, his dad comes back and brings this vampire movie for everyone to watch, which is really a setup by Craig himself. Craig's ultimate goal by the end of the night is to get Noelle alone in his room which they have already discussed, they just need everyone distracted and his roommate out... which could have actually have been problematic if Craig wasn't such a genius and brought Egyptian music which his roommate has been whining about not having for the longest time. this gets his roommate out of his room and then Craig and Noelle have alone time.

At first, i don't know what is going to happen because Noelle had wanted to take it so slow, but man do they move fast. i'm not going to describe anything. i will leave that to the author, but it gets pretty hot in that room.

excuse my awkwardness...

anyway, as Craig is leaving the hospital, i love what he is thinking, but it is much to long to type out. basically in a paraphrase Craig lists off a whole bunch of things he wants to do, that he still wants to do because his brain has suddenly shifted from ending his life to living it.

This really was an amazing book. you can really learn a lot from it in the sense of that you only have one life to live so you need to live it and stop wasting your time laying around and worrying about what other people think. do what you want to do because soon, you won't have the opportunity.
