hawkwing_lbSo, this is what I did instead of study Thursday.
Books 2008: 70-73.
70. C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp, Touch of Madness.
Urban fantasy (paranormal romance) with nasty-icky parasite vampires. Sex scenes boring, parasitic vampires interesting, but more vampires than sex, so on the whole a win for overall entertainment.
71-73. Laura Anne Gilman, Curse the Dark, Bring It On, and Burning Bridges.
Interesting urban fantasy. I missed the first installment (bookshops with their uneven stock problems, ack), but I didn't feel as though I lost too much context. Fun.
Hot weather yesterday (about 20 Celsius) so there was swimming. Today, I'm in the throes of rearranging my workspace (new shelves!) and otherwise ignoring the fact I have exams Tuesday and Wednesday.
I feel pretty anxious. I have trouble concentrating, when it's warm, and when I'm under pressure. Both together are bad. And my social anxiety is back, to the point where it's affecting my online interactions as well. I feel very much like an idiot, and I hate that.
Exams. So not my favourite things. Anybody got good news? :)
