Ahh! How can it be mid-April already!

Apr 14, 2008 18:22

I'm so not ready for it to be this late in the semester. I have WAY too much to do before summer!

And I just realized that my best friend's birthday is in two weeks, and I have no clue what I'm doing for her yet. And I can't find something last minute, because of this whole living half way across the country from each other thing. Her birthday gift ( Read more... )

Congrats to your sister!

Sticks with the Pratchett, they get better the know the characters. I read them in order (and didn't like the early books much). The witches' books are may favorites.

Oh, I do plan on reading more of Pratchett. I did like it; it just wasn't as good as I expected. And enough people who have similar reading tastes to me like him that I'd definitely try another even if I didn't like it.

Actually, the first witch book is one of the ones I ordered off of Amazon that should be coming in around July (it's coming in so late because it's with the pre-ordered book). Someone else recommended that arc to me.

I'm not sure yet if I'm going to read the books exactly in order, but I'll at least read the individual arcs in order.

Congrats to your sister! I have a younger sister too, and there was much drama about living up to her older siblings' records when she was applying to college. So I'm glad you avoided that!

And your travel plans sound really exciting! Now all you have to do is cross the toll bridge of final papers and exams before having all that summer fun. ;-)

Yeah, being the oldest does have its advantages. My youngest sister, who is next in line to graduate, is only a sophomore in high school, but is already worrying about being the first sibling to be rejected from a school. She's smart, too, though, so while she could get rejected at some schools (college admissions are SO chancy these days!), she'll definitely do just fine in the end.

Argh don't remind me about the final papers and exams! (Which of course, I should be working on/studying for now...)
