Aaaah, yes...perhaps half of you wouldn't understand the meaning of 'leisure reading', but its definition, according to me, is 'to read whatever book I find most enjoyment in'. On Saturday, one of my days off (yes, those do exist as well, you students), instead of sitting down to revise my budget and balance my chequing account, I decided to stay put in my pajamas, grab the Half-Blood Prince, sit on my couch all day, and finish reading it. I had started it about 2 and a half months ago and got about halfway through it. I am proud to say that I indeed finished my leisure reading, and still had time left in the day! I seriously considered starting the book again, then decided to just not.
Reading the Sixth again actually brought up a few different issues that I hadn't caught the first few times, and I'm keen to read it once more and note those places where my curiosity was captured. However, I will not be doing that this post. I want to read the book again and reforge my ideas before I bring them to light. They have to do with Snape, though; I will reveal that much.
In other news, ...well...there isn't much other news. The point of this post was mainly to gloat how I don't have papers to do anymore. And it has now achieved its purpose. Muahahaha. Take care, peeps!
Peace out.
Jane

Thanks. Much appreciated.
:-P
:-P, I say!
You'd be very proud to know that I actually spent last weekend reading Harry too! I decided it was time to enlarge my collection, so I went and bought The Goblet of Fire and the Order of the Pheonix. I finished the Goblet last night...
I also am enjoying the whole no papers thing, though it's a bit of a toss-up between that and meetings every bloody night of the week. Andy, if you want to go to my meetings for a couple of weeks, I must just consider writing one of your papers! Do you think if you shaved and wore a curly wig, they'd notice you weren't me?
Sorry Claire, I'm not shaving my beard. But I feel for you. I hated some of the meetings I had last year. Oi! Oi, I say!
Though for a paper, it does sound kind of tempting. How are you on modern church history?
I got leisure reading done! No wait. I just enjoyed a couple of paragraphs of an overall boring book for my paper. Ah well, close enough.
ah the half-blood prince. what a book. I must say that I have gotten lazy and now have it on audio cd but non-the-less, I much prefer reading it than listening to it. all the puzzles and second thoughts you have as you read it. ah thats the good stuff. I'm am still going to beat you on that harry potter challenge though. one day when I have some time. its kinda scary, between the two of us we could practically read the books to someone off by heart. awesome. well now I'm just going on about nothing. just taking up space. I guess I really should say keep up the good blogs jane but I like this wasting space stuff. so I'll waste a bit more. alright now I'm out.
Cheers, Adam
