Winter break is very quickly coming to a close... and I SO don't want to go back to college. My days at home have been far too relaxing and full of free time to make me miss my days in the dorm. Nevertheless, I will be packing my trunk (just like Harry!) in the next few days and resume waking up early, hustling to class, and tackling homework. Woo.
Break has been great, though. Besides Christmas and bringing in the New Year, I've celebrated a few birthdays of friends and family, spent time with family and some friends from high school, congratulated a cousin on her engagement, welcomed another cousin home from England (before bidding her farewell when she leaves for Sweden), started this blog, started a "Why is Today Awesome?" book as inspired by the 5AG, and read some really, really good books. What more could a gal ask for?
As much as I currently dread the thought of returning to school, I'm sure I'll end up enjoying myself. I have some really interesting classes scheduled. However, this semester will be a determining factor in regards to whether I'll be returning to my current university next year, or if I'll be transferring elsewhere. So far, I've been rather underwhelmed by the English program at my school. (If I can say this without sounding completely full of myself,) I can achieve As and Bs without exerting much effort, and the classes required for my major are the easiest of my courses. My family has suggested that it may be because it's the area I excel in, but if that were the case, then my fellow English majors should have no problem achieving similar grades, and that's not happening. In the spring semester, however, I have an English class that a professor tells me is pretty difficult. I plan to see how that class goes and, depending on how hard "hard" actually is, I may return next year.
On another note, I finally got to read The Hunger Games, a book that has been on my "To Read" list for SUCH a long time. People whose tastes in literature I trust have been amping it up for a while now, and I finally checked it out from the local library. HOLY POO, SO GOOD. I devoured it in two days. The only problem is, I go back to school soon, so I can't check the other two books of the trilogy out. Soo... I think I'm making a run to the bookstore today to put my Christmas money to good use. :)
Fun fact: I finished Looking for Alaska on January 10... National Alaska Young Day. It was totally coincidental and totally awesome. :)
Currently Reading: Ah! Nothing! But hopefully I'll have started Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (Book 2 of The Hunger Games trilogy) by the end of the day.
Number of books completed: 2.
