3 days till 3 months of summer!

Sat Nov 14, 2009, 11:12 PM
Omigoodness I am exhausted.

In a few days time I'm going to drive the 4 and a half hour drive home with a car full of my stuff back home for the summer holidays. The thought of it just tires me. I can't be bothered!

It's a very bittersweet moment for me. I want to go home, enjoy the summer and see old friends but I'm going to miss my friends, uni, and life in general in Wanganui. Plus summer is going to be driven by my job, half my family will be away for more than a month including at Christmas where they'll be in East Africa, so it'll be somewhat depressing.

But do you know what? I'm looking forward to getting a chance to read some books. I haven't properly read since last summer. And even then I only read books I had read before. This time I'm actually going to dust off my public library card..

Here's the list of books I plan to read:

The Thorn Birds (again in a month, haha)
Daddy Long Legs (I have to read this at least once a year)
Fahrenheit 451
To Kill a Mockingbird
Wuthering Heights
Nineteen Eighty four
Little Women (I tried this when I was younger - this time I'll finish it!)
The Time Traveller's Wife
Gone with the Wind
Anne of Green Gables (I can read this over and over)
Of Mice and Men
The Secret Garden
The Colour Purple
The Faraway tree Collection (haven't read since I was a kid!)
The Virgin Suicides


And I'm staying away from Harry Potter!
The funny thing is most of the above books, I've seen the movie of. It's terrible.

Anyway, I'm off. I have some last minute assignments to finish.
