Back to school again

[mala_14]

Well, this is the last day of Spring Break. That means it's back to school tomorrow. And I managed to get sick today. I have a sore throat/cough. And I feel all yucky. It's not pleasant. I tried to get some work done on my stays and sewed on some more binding. But then I got a headache, so I figured I would stop. Not much else to report. I've been doing reading as I got 4 new books recently. So I have read: Alis by Naomi Rich (alright, but nothing to write home about), The Door in the Hedge by Robin McKinley (I read this in high school and have always wanted to get my own copy. I good fantasy read), and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon (VERY good, and I really recommend it. It starts out quite entertaining and just gets better and deeper as the story goes on). I am currently reading The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. It is also very good, but it makes me feel a bit sad. I believe it is somewhat of a classic. It certainly is if one is considering Canadian authors. Even though I haven't finished it yet, I recommend it as well. I suppose I will just take some time and relax right now, before the last part of Pride and Prejudice starts. Jane Austen! Yay!

Hope you feel better soon!

I really enjoy Margaret Atwood, especially some of her poetry. Have you read the Penelopiad? Its very good.

Thanks! Unfortunately, I have a flu, so I'm all ache-y, which rather sucks. :(

I have read the Penelopiad and I really liked it. It's what prompted me to get this one. :)

Sorry to hear you have the flu. I hope you get better soon. It's been going around here like mad.

Quick question, isn't Spring Break supposed to be in the Spring? ;) If your weather is anything like ours right now it's just a succession of rain, snow, and wind.

Yay for good books, movies, and Jane Austen! :D

Thanks. The funny thing is that I don't know anybody else who has the flu, so I don't know where it came from. :s

Technically our Spring Break is called Reading Week. I guess because people are supposed to be studying for mid-terms. (Ha! Yeah right.) It's too cold here for rain, but we definitely get snow and wind. Although temperatures are getting much milder all of a sudden, which is a nice change from -40. :)

And double Yay from me for good books, movies, and Jane Austen!
