I read the Lord of The Flies in bed last night - and after finishing the Illuminatus! book, it was not hard finishing a coherent book in one go.
I liked it but it was just what I expected, having grown up with the pop culture references everywhere.
Also, heads on a stick - I got that from Iain Banks first and foremost! (oh man, the Wasp Factory)
I've been woken up by the phone for the third day in a row now.
Today was not so rude - it was my niece, calling to let me know that she was the one who left secret ginger bread men on my desk yesterday. She is six and very smart and conscientious, so she let me know that "you forgot to lock the door, anyone could break in! not just me with candy for you."I consider it a good warning.
At the time, I was walking to the post office, a good 40 minutes away, to pick up my 17kg sending of books. I put my arms around the box and took the bus home. I did get them in the door - I prefer doing these things by myself, getting a lift takes the fun out of it and you have to thank people.
That's how I got books to read, and I'm currently oogling my Fundamentals of Neuroscience book.
It's a post-BA level introductory book of many kgs and I would guess past thousands of pages.
I'm relieved to see that one of the authors states that he majored in German and still got a carreer in neuroscience.
Makes me less stressed about ditching one BA for another.
This spring is kind of a status quo for me - shut off from the courses I want/need, not knowing where to go, but knowing where I want to be.
So I'll be working forwards and not to the sides, I decided.
I might not be there but I gotta work towards it.
