Woke up feeling HORRIBLE. I am starting to think I am really sick. I woke up at 4am and slept 30 min - 1 hour every hour after, waking repeatedly. Really bad nausea. I feel dehydrated. Ugh.
Eric and mom went to the zoo and I am super bummed I missed that. I tried to get ready and go with them, but the nausea did not go away at all. The ocelots were mating and the bears were really active! It is a rare day at any zoo to see the animals doing ANYTHING. We´ll be going again and hopefully I will see something cool. If not, we at least have a couple blurry photos of ocelot sex. Ha ha.
I finished Wheel of Time. I have mixed feelings. I loved the world he created and the characters in it, but I get a bit annoyed at his writing style. I was not a fan of the ending. Too fast and anticlimatic. I want to go back and write down a bunch of things I think will be important for the rest of the series. The first book felt like a really long introduction or a prequel. The story is just beginning and this book was like a teaser, preparing the reader for the real thing.
Also, 100 pages into an absurd vampire book. She sees and talks with ghosts, was raised by vampires and can do magic. I am usually a huge fan of very fantasy writing, but this is too many ideas put together AWFULLY. The random sex scenes are sort of awkward too.
