Read-A-Thon Day One

Right after midnight I started to read Cinder. Unfortunately I didn't get to read as much as I wanted to because of work...

I read 165 pages.

Tuesday is my day off so I plan to read as much as I can.

Sorry this update was so short... Got to get back to reading!

Starting Back with a Bang

Now that my life is calming down, I am up and running again. I figured what better way to get back into the swing of things than with a read-a-thon.

I am going to join in on the Bout of Books Read-a-thon which is being on Monday the 13th.

Here is their official blurb:

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, May 13th and runs through Sunday, May 19th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 7.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. 
- From the Bout of Books team

 My personal goal is to read 2-3 novels in the week. I think that is a reasonable goal. I guess we'll see if I'm right next Sunday.

Struggling to Find Time

With school coming to a close I am truly struggling to find time for anything.

Here are the next few weeks of my life:

This week

  • 15 page paper
  • presentation
  • 33 hours at work
Next week
  • 10 page paper
  • 5 page paper
  • 2 presentations
  • 31 hours at work
The following week
  • 3 finals
  • 12 hours at work
  • trip to New Jersey/New York


The up side? After that I am done with college! Even better? I have a full time job waiting for me in the middle of May.

Yes, yes I'll get to the point. What does this mean for you? Basically the rest of this month I will not be around. I doubt I will post again until May. I am truly sorry about this. May will be another story though. I will have a set work schedule therefore I can plan my life accordingly. You can expect 2 (maybe 3) posts a week. Also I will have time read again. 

I can not express in words how thrilled I am about having time for the things I love again. I am sorry that I still have a few more weeks to wait though.
