So I just went out and bought Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows today … along with about a trillion other people and although I am very excited to get reading it I am also a little scared as well. When I read the last book I cried when Dumbledore died … and when I say cry I mean tears streaming and sobbing involved. Apparently there is another important death in this final Harry Potter book which makes me a little reluctant to even open it. Do I want it to end this way? I was in shock at the end of the last book, do I want to feel the same way this time?

On the other hand I have faith that J.K. Rowling would have ended things well. After all, I’m sure she takes great pride in these incredibly successful pieces of work so she wouldn’t just make some random awful ending to make us all hate her haha! I wonder if anyone else has the same sort of feelings I do. I’ve had the book sitting here beside me all day and I want  to just dive in but I’m a little afraid of what I’ll find out. I think I may jump in bed and start reading since my curiosity is starting to get the best of me!! I’ll let you know how it goes!

Still no Maiden tactic but I plan on doing that tonight maybe. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it before but while I am home for the summer I have been taking a course so that I don’t completely halt my degree. I have my first exam in it tonight … eek! Compared to many of the courses I have taken, this one is a pretty interesting one. It’s a Sociology course (even though I’m a Psychology major) called Canadian Society and is basically about the social groups that formed Canada and that make up Canada today. It’s such a nice break for me and I’m finding myself actually interested in the subject matter that I pay attention. After 4 years of just taking Psychology and English Literature courses you get kind of bored of them after a while and it’s nice to throw something different into the mix to freshen things up. Although I must admit, my experience in Psychology has allowed me to better deal with people in all aspects of my life and has made me a much more empathetic person.

Not quite sure why I’m ranting on the details of my education haha!! I think it’s just an excuse not to study And another excuse is the Monday Melee post I haven’t posted yet. Hmmmm maybe I’ll do that now before hitting the books …

I have always been an avid reader and I’m a fan of many literary genres but lately I have been finding it hard to divide my time so that I can accomplish what I would like to. I certainly have no trouble finding time to get my daily fix of Perez or even reading my monthly issue (when I can afford it) of Cosmopolitan but I’m finding that I’m not reading as many books as I would like to lately. Maybe it’s my busy gaming schedule that’s keeping me from it! That’s pretty likely actually haha!

I’ve started reading 2 books this past month and haven’t finished either of them. Not because I haven’t been enjoying them, I really like them so far, but I get distracted very easily. I’m also finding that it is becoming increasingly easier to find good reading online. I really enjoy reading the blogs here and there are soooo many interesting and entertaining people out there. I’m now wondering if there are any good online book sites available so that I can combine my love for computers with my love for literature. There must be something out there. *Makes a note to google it after finishing post.* If I find anything noteworthy I’ll certainly post the link. Also, if anyone knows of any good sites please let me know. I’m not looking for well known titles necessarily … just some good reading while I’m staring at a loading screen. Poking around blogs is proving to be quite satisfying now … I’m just curious as to what else is available to prevent my brain from turning to mush.
