Thursday Routines

So, I again went to return books, in order to semi-declutter my room. And of course I got out five more. That wouldn't be so bad if three of them were more than 400 pages each (one of which is 700-some). I also got out two books on CD.

The List:

January's Read-On Count

I'll probably do a more in-depth summary of January's books at some point this weekend whilst procrastinating.

January's Count: 21
Read-On 09 Count: 21
2009 Count: 21

Thursday Routines

I take harp lessons on Mondays this semester, and, as I don't have a semester's tuition to spare on a harp of my own, I need to go practice on the harp in the Music Building. I could take the shuttle, but walking from campus brings me through the Loop: past Starbucks, Panera, and the like. And most importantly, the library. Not the college library, but a Real Live Public Library. The library lies between campus and the music building, so I usually try to stop by on my way back from practicing the harp and drop off books I've finished that week.

What actually happens is I stop in the library first (cuz returning all those books will make my bag lighter). I return the books... and then I go look upstairs for books I want to read. Before I know it, my arms are filled with a stack of 10+ books (and dvds), and my bag is twice as heavy as before. And I have no time left to get harp practice in.

Today, by some miracle, I managed to go to the library after I got a good solid 1/2 hour of harp in. But I still checked out 10 books. And still have 6 to read from last time I went to the library. In addition to the good 15 I've got out of the school library.

Anyway, today I checked out:

Plus the audio book of Scott Adams' Stick to Drawing Cartoons, Monkey Brain!, as well as 3 movies. I'm excited. I'm just not going to have time to read/watch them all this week :(

(Cuz I still need to finish The Outcast, Moribito, The Wind in the Willows, and The Legend of Thunderfoot. And I should probably do homework/projects so I don't fail out of school. I'm sure my parents would appreciate me not doing that. I mean not-failing they would appreciate, not me not-doing-homework)
