I always get so little done on my free days.

*sighs*

Even today, when I got out my books before doing anything else, I still got latched onto this computer for three hours before I did anything.

My problem isn't that I need a hobby. My problem is that I need a hobby, not an obsession.

Review of Joan D. Vinge's Snow Queen )

One final important thing to note is that this story is a retelling. It is adapted from the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale "The Snow Queen", a story I have never read. I don't know what to feel about that fact, but Vinge's novel is excellent, regardless.




Unrelated to all the above, I'm rather peeved about the situation with one of the books for my class, a book which never was assigned for reading until the very recent past. I just spoke with my mom, and she suggested to me reserving and buying the book at a local Borders. Unfortunately, I already ordered it on Amazon, and it's shipped already.

What really burns is that everything here is my fault.
