I should be preparing for a presentation at school tomorrow..... This is just more fun xD
Nothing. :) Done with work, so just reading a book and listening to some music on Youtube. :)
school....I love technology in schools! haha
Nothing, I am finished with work for the day so I have the rest of the day to do what I want :)
I should be unloading and reloading the dishwasher, perhaps vacuuming and definitely doing laundry! LOL.

The Host by Stephanie Meyers!! I bought the book in march right? But I have been putting it off b/c of everything that was going on in my life. So after my tenth time of knocking it to the curb, I decided to just read it in the Summer. And at the time that sounded like a great idea....But its, for me, now summer and I still don't want to read it! I dnt know if its because its long or if its because I don't want to?.. Its really cray, and the strangest thing is I have nothing else to do and I'm super bored!!! What's wrong with me??!!
I put off The Host for a long time also but I was just afraid I wouldn't like it and avoided it. I know a lot of people in this group have mixed feelings about the Twilight series but I'm on the 'liked it' side of things and I had heard mix reviews about it. I like to give reviews for all the books I read and I didn't want to give Stephenie Mayer a bad review. I gave in when the movie came out because I wanted to read it before watching the movie. Turned out I was avoiding it for nothing because I really enjoyed it. It is a long book but I went though it quickly and ended up giving it a 4 of 5 stars.I encourage you to read it, its a lot better then people give it credit for.
lol I swear I said this last week??I should be cleaning my house, running to the store to get a few items for dinner and running laundry..
instead, lol, scrolling through Goodreads and enjoying my books :) ahhhhh, I love summer!
Phew! Its not just me. And honestly that's how I feel. I love Stephanie Meyers work and I am maybe a little scared that I will be disappointed in her latest creations. Plus I really loved her first series and I still find myself re-reading the twilight books from time to time. So I will give this book a try. People are saying it better than the twilight series but that's so very hard to believe. I definitely have to read it before the movie. I really want to see if this book is as good as everyones saying it is.Wish me luck! !!!

If you can get beyond those 200 pages, it will start to pick up and get more into the people/romance than the beginning!!
I hope you love it! I did!
My ancient history essay! The siege of Masada is very interesting but not when I have to write an essay about it and get a million sources *sigh*
I am avoiding everything. I just want to sit and read as I have been doing all morning... It's so hard to be responsible when such good YA literature is out there waiting to be devoured!

I should be getting ready for work soon, but I just want to keep reading.
I should be studying for finals ... Goodreads is way too addicting!

I am currently avoiding grinding samples here at work. It's boring and drives me crazy, lol! But I know I'm blessed to have a job - so I better go keep it!
Make my breakfast and go to work. Is raining out.., so I just want to stay home. But like Becky said I'm bless because I have a job.
Writing my bachelor thesis. I really should get started. But there are so many better things to do!
Allie wrote: "Writing my bachelor thesis. I really should get started. But there are so many better things to do!"Good luck with your thesis Allie! I'm sure it can be hard to concentrate on one big long paper....
Currently avoiding nothing, it is a lovely evening, and I am just relaxing and reading. :)Also good luck on your Thesis Allie.

Thank you so much. I think it will be easier when I first start to write but starting at all is so hard when where are so many good books waiting for me to be read ;)
You're welcome. And I can imagine, so many good books are also coming out. :)
I am specifically avoiding cleaning the kitchen up. It's not that hard but I just don't want to stand up in there and deal with it right now!
I'm avoiding cleaning! I really know I need to clean, so bugs won't start coming in, but I'm lazy!
I should probably finish some of these books I have from the library. They're due soon. :/
Finding work work...I'm waiting on a few writing deals to close so I don't have to do the hourly wage job thing any more and can write and make movies full time :)

Avoiding going to work for the moment although I have to leave soon. I'm just about finished writing the rough 'chaos' draft of my latest novel so I want to get it done before I go out.
Good luck on the exams. Reading can wait, but tests don't take care of themselves.(God, my folks always used to say that to me and now I'm doing it!:D)
I'm avoiding reading Les Mis because no matter how much you read it just keeps going. I am also avoiding socialization o.o
I'm avoiding doing laundry during the thunderstorm..and avoiding writing a blog post for my spirituality blog.

I should be finishing "eyes like stars" but it just isn't interesting for me but I wanna finish it lol xD
Avoiding working on my novel at the moment. Got up to around 42000 words and just...can't...think.Time to have ice cream. It doesn't help me think any better but it takes away my rotten mood.
I'm avoiding going to bed. I hate going to bed! LOL I always feel like I'm missing out on something. LOL
Avoiding to clean up the laundry. Other then that nothing more. :)
