"I'll tell you the truth, Anita. No matter what you do you, or how bad you feel about it..."
"...life just goes on. Life doesn't give a fuck that you're sorry or upset or deranged or tormented. Life just goes on, and you go on with it, or sit in the middle of the road feeling sorry for yourself. And I don't see you doing that."Jason to Anita, Blue Moon by Laurel K. Hamilton
Alright, so I'm a little addicted to the vampire novels again. I don't usually have this much time on my hands so I'm using it to my advantage. I tend to really get into fantasy novels (i.e. Wheel of Time, Harry Potter, Twilight) so I can just read into the night until I can barely see and then I wake up the next day and can't wait to continue. I can't do anything else when I read, only imagine. When Ray's here he feels very ignored when I read fantasy novels, even though we usually have our separate hobbies in the evenings I think this is one hobby he doesn't like me having. Hence why I'm planning on reading at least up to book 20 before he returns (I just finished book 8 and I'm debating over whether I'll re-read book 9)...I need to check how many there are in total.

[S]ome people are simpler to capture at first glance than others. "The people who are easiest to judge are the most mentally healthy," says Randy Colvin, associate professor of psychology at Northeastern University in Boston. "With mentally healthy individuals," Colvin theorizes, "exterior behavior mimics their internal views of themselves. What you see is what you get." - Psychology Today

I had a tough midterm yesterday for American Literature; the questions were not simple...We had seven poets to study (Robert Frost, Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, Marianne Moore, Claude McKay) and two prose writers (Willa Cather and Sherwood Anderson) and for prose we had to touch on both authors, while for poetry we had to refer to at least three. The questions were ...interesting. They were so IB-like that I was surprised. It has been a while since I've had such a demanding professor (8-10 page essay coming up!) and so I'm not used to having so many options and not having open book examinations and writing responses to quotations by other famous people. In a few weeks we'll see how well I remember.

Money is learning. He can sit, he can stay, he can sort of fetch but it's not guaranteed that the item will be returned to me, and he's learning to walk on my right side but it's difficult to make him stop wondering in front of my feet (I'll trip! what gives?). He was terrified of the car last night. I have to admit it's because my neighbor took over fifteen minutes to park it and then the lights stayed on for a long time so he barked and howled for like half an hour while cowering under my window, afraid to even walk. Little dogs are so useless.
