TGIF! Except not really, since I've been living all of my days as if it's the weekend. In the past week, my life has become a Weekenders marathon (minus Tish's mom). I have had a really light schedule in terms of classes. There's still work to be done but the hours I save from having only one class really helps me alleviate my workload. I still get this strange feeling from relaxing so much--like I'm not supposed to be doing this. But I guess all of that will change soon enough so I might as well enjoy!
The past few days have all sort of been a blur to me. I played tennis one of the mornings. It was great to play and the weather was so crisp, accounting for my endurance to play an hour and half. I also made baked ziti with broccoli one of the days. Turned out great! I actually had to use fresh ricotta, shredded from a block. I have never done that before so it was interesting. I also did a few crossword puzzles online. It's my new thing--I wanna get smart, like in terms of general knowledge. I feel like doing these crossword puzzles is a nice way to gain knowledge while also having fun. I may even do one after I finish posting!
I have been reading my new E.M. Forster book, Howard's End. I think I'm about 60 pages in. I definitely like it so far. It reminds me of Jane Austen, with the same busy body characters and dialogue throughout the story. There are some dry funny moments as well. I do miss Mr. Bennett though; there's no equivalent in here! But overall, I'm definitely liking this book.
Funny story--so remember how I was reading Unaccustomed Earth. Yeah, I quit that book with only 80 pages to go. I just couldn't finish it. The overall tone of the book is empty and sad and I was feeling depressed by it. I kept seeing myself in the characters and wondering if that's the course my life will take. I couldn't stand my thoughts after reading it so I just stopped. I returned it to the library two days ago. Yesterday, I had dance practice for one of my close friend's sister's wedding and she gave me a ride to practice. On the way there, I look down and I see Unaccustomed earth! It's like in those scary movies when the thing you try to throw away keeps appearing! I was like OMG did you get that from the library? When did you get that?! It was a pretty amusing coincidence!
Alright time to get to that crossword puzzle...nothing better to do on a rainy day =D
