How’s my vacation going? So nice of you to ask.

I’ve been doing an awful lot of sleeping lately. Maybe I’m catching up on the hours I missed at term time. Right now I’m literally sleeping more than I’m awake.

The whole university idea is scary. Sometimes I look forward to ending up at one of my two choices, and other times the entire thing terrifies me. The fees won’t be too much of a problem, thank goodness. It’s just that I don’t much feel like spending 3/4 more years of my life in school.  And all of this is so much hassle. Blegh.

I’m super excited about the upcoming Potter book. Yes, that’s book 7 as opposed to movie 5. The Potter movies are just light entertainment for me, but the book is finishing off the entire series. I can’t wait! Except… the book comes out on the same day as my matric dance. If there is any way I can read an entire book plus prepare for prom, let me know. I am determined to do it.

I haven’t got any read predictions for Deathly Hallows- I usually read books like movies. That is, I don’t sit down and speculate as I go, I simply read the whole thing and let the story take me. I may hesitate a guess that Percy may die… but I just don’t know! I love all of the characters in some way, so it’s tough. I would like Sirius’ two-way mirror to have some use, as it’s been useless so far. I do hope that not too many characters are killed in throwaway lines.

Also, I am addicted to Urban Dead right now.  It’s an online MMORPG, about a city after a zombie apocalypse. Tons of fun, but difficult. I have a sexy firefighter who has nearly got to level 2. Actually, I did play this once upon a time, but I lost interest. But now there is a flourishing survivor community, and tons of zombies. Not to mention a whole bunch of Firefox plugins to make the game more pretty and fun. Give it a try if you’re looking for a new turn-based-ish game.

I’m really, really enjoying my time off. The sleeping is fun, the food is good. My puppy tends to bug me if she isn’t in the mood for a nap, too, but otherwise she’s cool. I love doing nothing, and vacation is the perfect time to do it. If only this matric dance wasn’t looming.
