Hello! I am enjoying the turn of the season, before the blistering heat of summer appears. Yay Texas!The weather is lovely. Although, I have been sneezing a lot more lately.
According to the Good Reads I started I have read 22 books so far. No way!
I finished the Hunger Games trilogy, Room, and Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother.
School is winding down. Only a few more classes until this lil' gal is an official librarian.
Currently reading: Swamplandia!

Welp.
School has come back in roaring force. I'm tired and annoyed and blech. Finished The Happiness Project. Turned in a bunch of stuff that I couldn't get to.
Only a few more weeks. Gotta go!

spring break!
Whoo. Haha. I have been enjoying as much as my "spring break" as I can. No homework means more reading. :) Finished the third of the Stieg Larsson trilogy and Water for Elephants and Zombie Spaceship Wasteland and Hunger Games (sooo goood).
Yes so things are good. I spent the night drinking free mojitos and margaritas so I'm feeling good.
It's nice to have a little breathing room.
Currently reading Room, The Happiness Project, Mind Wide Open.

Blech
This has been my mantra for the last couple of weeks. However, I feel much better now. No homework due for 2 weeks. Thank goodness. Had an interview today for a big girl job. Think it went well. Had to do some last minute stuff but things turned out ok.
Finished Blindness, Blink and Mennonite in a Little Black Dress.
Currently reading Hunger Games, Zombies vs Unicorns, Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, Girl who kicked the hornet's nest because I need books everywhere!
Okey dokey. Hopefully next time I'll feel less blechy.

Helloo! Things are going well. I think I'm finally getting into the swing of school and am successfully navigating the line of doing what is necessary vs. what is assigned. I am in the midst of birthday week. Whoo! Had a small get together this week for the actual day and I am having my Mad Men extravaganza on Saturday. Yay!

Yep.
A haiku for the day.
Should still make my goal.
Reading reading. Mostly school.
Sometimes I hate school.

Update
Finally finished The Book Thief. What a lovely heartbreaking amazing book, well worth the weeks I spent on it.
Started reading This Book is Overdue and so far so good. Might have to check out the previous work on obituaries the author wrote. I also checked out Greyhound which came highly recommended by an adorable customer at the library who walked in and said, "I have to give a book review! This book was so good."
Hopefully she's right. Well I gotta go, husband is awake and needs attention.
