I'm DONE!!!! Well, done with exams and whatnot. I'm in the middle of the writing competition, which is potentially the most boring thing I have done in my life. And this is coming from someone who spend 3 months counting fish coming out of the water on a line for 3 hours at a time. "One pollock, two pollock, three pollock....ooooo... a cod!" Yes, this is worse. I have spent 4 hours looking up citations in a citation book (the ALWD, for those of you in the legal know) and editing citations. No, not writing something, just editing a list of citations. BORING!!! I have infinitly more respect for editors, since I know this is what they do with their time, and I would go insane long before a book ever got to print.

Speaking of books, I got to read real books again. I finished Shadow Puppets, by Orson Scott Card. Good book, although not as good as both Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow. I miss reading books, although I am proving my dorkiness by my 2 new books -- Roman Law and The Homeric Hymns. But I miss my ancient texts, and it is nice to get back to them. And bide my time till Harry Potter comes out...
