relax, don't do it, if you wanna get through it...
Met with my thesis adviser today. I have to admit, I kinda go nuts everytime she schedules to confer with me. I guess it's the initial trauma from taking her class last semester, that I assume she still sees me as a brainless ditz. Must shake that off, it's not healthy.
Anyway, I've been thinking of relaxing more by reading more. At least, if I'm reading, I'm forced to relax, right? Mikah and I went to the Fully Booked in Greenhills last Tuesday and whoa, it's huge! But we got there too late, it closes at ten on the weekdays, so all we did was stare into it longingly from the other side of the glass wall. To compensate, we proceeded to the Fully Booked in Rockwell on Wednesday - early. Well, early enough.
Fully Booked Rockwell is HUGE! I even have the feeling that it's bigger than the 2-storey one in Greenhills, but that's only because I didn't go in the Fully Booked in Greenhills. I was so overwhelmed!!! I just stood at the mouth of the store and gaped. Mikah had to come get me, I think twice. It also makes you feel like emptying your pockets and spending all your money on books, which I think some people actually did. I bought ONE book (yes, complete control... *inhale... exhale...*), The Companions by Sheri S. Tepper, I've started reading it. I like it, it's one of those books you really get into.
Actually, I'm doing a Joelle again (after a long time, I mean) and getting into three/four books at the same time. I used to do that a lot - read a section of a book, then read a section of another book, then read another. I guess, it's the book equivalent to channel surfing, but you don't miss anything if you stay on one book too long. I'm currently reading:
1. Haruki Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, which was a birthday gift from the handsomest, sweetest, most delish boytoy in the land.
2. Sheri S. Tepper's The Companions
3. Maeve Binchy's Light A Penny Candle
4. A Place Where The Sea Remembers... but I forget who wrote that. It's in my ballet bag.
That's all I did yesterday morning - read. And stop reading and think, "I should get some work done..." and I'd pick up another book and read again. I rather enjoyed that. I promise to do that more often. Hopefully it will keep me from going nuts over consultation sessions with my thesis adviser. Which went really well, by the way.
Elaine told me, "I am so confident that you'll do superbly!" Aaaah, I must hang out with her more more more often, hopefully that confidence will rub off on me. *Mikah's cue to bonk me on the head -here-*
