Sunday Salon – October 18, 2009

I can’t believe it’s Sunday already.  My mini-vacation at home is coming to an end so soon.  It greatly saddens me.  I didn’t get much leisurely reading done while I was hiding away in my room at home.  The weather was surprisingly warm and I found it difficult to concentrate much on anything.  Still, I began to dive into Mercury in Retrograde by Paula Froelich.  Let me tell you, it has been a treat.

This week I have been in paper writing mode.  I’m a huge procrastinator and as midterms are approaching, more and more papers are due around the same time.  It was pretty brutal but I got through it.  Still, I finished my last paper for the week on Thursday at 3 AM.  Not idyllic.  Now I’m behind on my reading on all fronts so I plan to lock myself in my room today and work on wading through Wordsworth and selected readings on Latinos and political power.  Fun stuff.

Have a great Sunday!

Still Kicking …

Hello book bloggers.  Long time no see.  Sorry I have been gone for so long.  A couple weeks ago I got sick and then shortly there after, school became almost unbearably busy.  Luckily this weekend, I managed to get away and rush home where things are quieter and I feel much more relaxed and sane.  Between work and school, I’ve had very little time for much of anything.  In school I have been reading a lot of interesting things.  I’ve read Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing and Measure for Measure.  I will do a mini-review of my thoughts on both in the upcoming week(s).  I’ve also been reading a lot of interesting articles about minority politics and I’m learning a lot!  I’m hoping to return full force to the blogging world starting TODAY!  I have so much to share with you all and I’m sure that you have much to share with me.  Can’t wait for us all to catch up!
