More Winter? Really?

Cassandra Clare is a genius. I just finished reading the third and final book in her Immortal Instruments Series and I’m blown away. She writes with such a compelling voice, that once you begin reading it becomes a compulsive action. You can’t stop until you reach that final page and even then you’re so close to the story that it’s hard to imagine that it’s over.

She brought all of the loose ends together in a satisfying and compelling conclusion. I don’t want to spoil the story, because I really recommend that you read the series. At some point I’ll get around to writing a proper review for either the series as a whole or each book.

In other news, I hate the snow. Where had all the warm weather gone? Despite the noxious weather, however the drive to class this morning actually wasn’t bad at all. The roads were damp, but thankfully they weren’t icy. Based on reports on the radio the freeway was a mess but that’s not surprising. People drive like imbeciles on the freeway when there’s even a speck of snow on the ground.

There are essentially two main categories of people on the freeway in adverse weather. There are those that decide to drive slowly to the point of being down right obnoxious. They are over cautious and therefore cause more frustration than anything. Then of course you have those who decide that it’s perfectly alright to throw caution to the wind. These are the idiots who end up slowing everyone to a stop when they get into the inevitable accident.

Needless to say I avoided the freeway this morning, and therefore got to school early rather than late. Hopefully the drive goes as smoothly tomorrow morning as it did this morning.

Almost Spring Break

Technically spring break doesn’t start until next week, but today was my last round of classes until March, so I think it’s safe to say that as far as I’m concerned spring break has started. Now all I need to do is finish up my philosophy exam and some psychology reading and I won’t have think about school for a week.

I don’t exactly get the whole week to myself, what with work and everything, but it’d be nice to see the stress levels diminish even a smidgen.

What I’m really looking forward to is getting in some reading. I haven’t been able to do much reading aside from school assignments and so the prospect is really exciting. My pile of unread books is RIDICULOUS. Then of course I want to re-read The Immortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare before the third one comes out in March. I’ve been waiting for that book to come out since March of last year. That series is absolutely fantastic.

It’s also exciting that I’m getting that much closer to potentially hearing back from MSU. By my figures I’m likely to hear back from them near the end of March or the beginning of April. Although, we all know how reliable school tend to be…
