obviously, i am a brilliant and consistent blogger

...or not.

Sorry, people, I just got all busy all of a sudden! School is the primary source for my busyness. Since I still have homework to do, this will be a short post.

Today I got my hands on a copy of Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. It's the sequel to the fabulous Hunger Games, and I was waiting with baited breath for this book! I am SO glad to have it, and am about a fourth of the way through it. Am reading fast, though, so it may not be long. I'll try to post a nice, un-spoilery review of it when I do finish.

My writing has been suffering from my return to public school, though I'm finding time here and there, mostly on the weekends. Okay, ENTIRELY on the weekends. But it's still happening, just at a much slower pace than it used to.

Snakes, lizards, toads, and turtles! I love 'em. Am going with a bunch of herpetologists (that's people who study reptiles and amphibians, btw) to check their traps! It promises to be really fun.

Now, I suppose I should work on some algebra hw, but I think I'll do that tomorrow. Tonight, I am going to just read!!!

put on a happy face!

I have to remind myself of that because I'm writing this dreadful little story for the writers' group I attend, and it's very sad, and writing it is making me a little gloomy to tell you the truth.

I'm tired, and will not stay long on blogger. Had a good day; it was gorgeous, albeit a bit windy at times, outside. And I had an opportunity to eat two slices of a lovely pound cake. And I finished a really good book: Thirteenth Child by Patricia C. Wrede. I recommend it to everyone; fantastic.

Got some writing done above and beyond this sad, sad short story. The 1800s story is now about 4700 words long; nice fun length! I have lots planned for this story, and it's sooo much fun to write.

Must go brush teeth and sleep. G'night!
