Colds are yucky.

I’m sick. Blargh. I went up to Santa Barbara to visit school friends before I leave for Scotland for a year and basically more fun than my immune system can handle. Traveling and staying up until six-thirty in the morning and such.

Oh well. It was worth it, and I’m on the mend now, even if my sleep schedule is all wacked out. I got up at about noon today and spent the first two hours of the day writing book reviews for my goodreads.com account. Go ahead and check it all out. :) I don’t… ahem… have any friends yet, but I really love the whole concept. It’s like Facebook for book lovers. You have these things called “shelves,” where you basically categorize books as “read,” “currently reading,” or “to-read,” and you can assign stars for how good a book was and write reviews for books, talk to people that read the same things you do, obsess over pretty cover art (I’m so glad I’m not the only one in the world who does that), follow your favorite authors and what they’re reading, and even join book groups that choose a different book to read each month.

Pretty sweet deal, if you ask me. :)

And speaking of shelves, I have put up three new bookshelves in my bedroom! Okay, so only two are up at the moment and I still have to finish painting the third, but I’m so excited! I love filling up bookshelves almost as much as I love finishing books. =P
