So, I've been thinking that I'd really like to start reading a lot more than I do currently. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to enjoy a good book as often as I used to. College would definitely have a lot to do with that. I guess that's only natural though. When I was younger, I didn't have to do anything but school and sports. That left me plenty of time to read. Whether it was on the bus on the way to a volleyball game (we weren't allowed to talk for some reason), or during study hall, or after school, I always seemed to find the time to read. Now that I'm living on my own, I have bills to pay. Yuck. So, I go to class half the day and then head to work and bus tables. Even more yuck! By the time I get home, I'm too exhausted to read without it putting me to sleep. Plus, I had to buy 19 books this semester, which was incidentally a low blow to my wallet. I can hardly keep up with assigned readings, let alone do my own pleasure reading.
...the complaining part of this post is done, by the way :)
I've been making some progress, though. I just finished reading He's Just Not That Into You by Greg Behrendt. I've been wanting to read it for some time, and I'm glad I finally did. Girls, read this if you haven't already! It's split up into sections and they all give good advice. Not that I need any dating advice at all (kidding!)... But seriously, even if you're not looking for advice, I think it's still a good read. I haven't gotten around to seeing the movie, but I'll definitely rent it when it's out, if it's not already. Oh, and guys should read it too. Note: It's safe to say that this is probably not a school-appropriate book.
