Proper Apologies

Greetings All!

Today is the day where I finally return with some substance to this blog. It's been a pretty interesting day. We had assessment day at school today, which for some means an entire day off, for others it means no classes, but major presentations. For me it meant doing my exact same work schedule and class schedule with the exception of Spanish. I had no spanish class today, which to be honest is probably more exciting than it should be (especially considering it's one of my majors). It was pretty exciting. I spent the morning, when I'd normally be in class, at the library. It's always startling to me how little can be accomplished when there is nothing to distract you. I spent three hours doing an essay that normally would have taken me around 40 minutes. I did listen to some good music and start at a table a lot though. That was nice even if it was unproductive.

To celebrate the day off, I did allow myself some reading time this evening. I managed to finish my third Maureen Johnson book in the last three weeks. It was called Scarlett Fever. I was enjoying it until the end. Okay to be fair, I even enjoyed the end. I just don't like the fact that it ended. It's one of those cliff hanger endings that just plan to taunt you until the next book comes out. So yes, it is a good book, but I can't recommend it to you without a warning. I suppose I should probably mention that I'm not very tolerant of not ended series. I like my literature to have an end, a sense of finality. I don't mind depressing ends or cheestastic ends, just enough that my brain will let me sleep without feeling that awkward urge to just write an end. Alas, I will be subconsciously plotting an end in my dreams tonight, and wait until Maureen Johnson comes along and writes a better continuation than I ever could. ^_^

So my stress level has decreased immensely, which is good. I'm now closer to focus mode, which means I'll be much more productive. Speaking of productivity, I still have some homework I'd like to get accomplished this evening.

I hope you are all celebrating in style.*
