Literally opened my laptop last night & was about to blog.. when suddenly my screen just goes black. My macbook (aka my most valued possession/obsession) shut off and refused to turn back on. Seeing as I am incapable of functioning on any other computer, I was damn near tears.
Luckily, the fabulous people at the Genius Bar fixed it in 2 minutes by simply resetting something (free of charge, I might add)! Oh how I love Apple!
Anyway, I am now taking a break from a GRE study session-- which I don't feel sufficiently prepared for.. but the Kaplan professor says this is a common feeling a week before test day, so that made me feel a little better & put the knife back down..
I've taken a liking to studying at Borders. I love the smell of new books and the atmosphere here is so relaxing. I'm making it a point to make weekly, or at least biweekly, trips here on Saturday afternoons. Working with kids who struggle to read has given me a new appreciation for an ability I've always taken for granted and never really enjoyed leisurely. It also bothers me that I don't have a favorite author.. partly because I've never read books that weren't required for school-- & that realization at the age of 22 bothers me even more. |
