Spooky how volatile the level of discussion is on this list huh? I'm
not even a full time student and yet somehow this time period is really
busy. I have project deadlines at work, a sister suddenly
wisdom-toothless :), finals in class, books to read, things to do. Not to
metion getting ready for WisCon (I'm so excited).
Reading during the summer? I have lovely memories of reading ALL the
time. Those great memories of reading in my bed at 2am on a school
morning trying to hide the light (my elbows were proboably permanently
damaged), of walking through the halls at school reading, of reading on
the school bus, of reading at dinner (my family hated that), of reading
for hours on end during car trips, of finishing a book dehydrated because
I was too engrossed to remember to drink anything. Ahhh, great times.
