Oddly apt, no?

My continued attempts to finalize my schedule for this upcoming semester are, well, not working. This is mainly due to Japanese. Stupid, stupid language schedules; why can't you put these classes at 9 am, not the ever-popular 1:25?

It'll be good to be back at school, despite not really knowing what I'll be taking. I miss classes, and I especially miss Risley. Not that I don't have a gaggle of Risleyites around to keep me Risified, but I miss the building itself. I want to be living inside its lovely walls again. The thought of move-in is so good inside my brain. All tingly and pleasant and suchlike.

More tingly, pleasant things: RisPotluck at Viv's tonight (need to go bake banana bread, eep), not having to wake up at 7:15 tomorrow morning, and seeing Peggy this weekend for the first time since the end of the school year.

Little joys, little joys. They're the best.

It's an off-chance, but anyone have any book recs? Either very good fiction, or titles on linguistics, philosophy, or Japanese studies. I'm almost done with my current book, and can't get a hold of a copy of House of Leaves.

-finish Fool on the Hill

OOh, Fool on the Hill was fun.

I would recommend "Birdsong" by Sebastian Faulks. "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card was also very good (relatively quick read).

I'm also a fan of Milan Kundera - "Unbearable Lightness of Being" is a good place to start.

Yeah, I'm enjoying it. It's nice and quirky. ^^

Have heard good things about all of those books, so hurrah.

i don't have a schedule either!

don't worry you're not the only one who decided to completely redesign their semester.

I just finished Elantris, which was an excellent read. Also, the Song of Ice and Fire Series by George R.R. Martin....ask Carol and she too will agree that its marvelous

AARGH so frustrating.

Oh, Song of Ice and Fire. . . that's been recc'd to me so many times. Perhaps I should finally *read* it.
