These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users (as of today). As usual, bold what you have read, italicise what you started but couldn't finish, and strike through what you couldn't stand. * - Read more than once.

Guess I'm doing better than I thought I was literature-wise; I've read almost half of these, and I've heard of all but three or four. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Big Scary Exam is OVER! :D :D :D I don't even care whether I passed it or not; the important part is that I'm finished and at worst I won't have to worry about it again until next year.

| My non-linear parameter estimation class kind of makes me giggle. It's like a perfect microcosm of the difference between engineers and scientists.
Mathematician: Hey look, I've derived this perfect, elegant formula to solve the problem!

| Urgh, January. It's weird; I'm not depressed or anything, but I just want to crawl into bed and stay there until March.
I am kind of depressed for other reasons, though, chiefly because of this homework that I don't know how to do :( | | comments: Leave a comment |

| I have a 9 am class two days a week this semester. And it's taught by my research advisor, so I really can't come in late or anything (like I did on Friday D:).

| I usually don't make these, but they're all things I ought to do anyway, and I think all three are possible.
- Take better care of myself. I've done *all right* over the past few months. But I need to go grocery shopping more, cook more, and clean more thoroughly and more often.
- Take piano lessons, at least so long as it doesn't interfere with my classes. I've always wanted to learn to play the piano, and I'm taking a keyboard back up to my apartment with me.
- Post at least one new chapter a month. I'd like to be more prolific with my fanfic. One way I've laid the groundwork for this was to make a notebook that's only used to record ideas. That way, when I'm in a mood to write, I actually have something to go off of. And even if I get tired of writing by the next day and put the draft aside, I can come back to it later when I feel like editing.
In a general sense this year, I want to take a step back from the Internet and all its craziness. It's been a big part of my life for a long time, and I certainly don't regret all the connections I've made with people through it, but it's really sucked me in, especially lately, and it's made my life severely unbalanced. This isn't really how I want to live. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| I really ought to post more in this journal. Since the last time I posted, I've
- graduated from college with my BS
- vacationed in Hawaii
- moved to a new city
- started on my Masters
- freaked out about 10 million times as a result of above
- moved to a different fandom in my fanficcing life
- started a comm for manga discussion
- gotten a kitty cat
Anyway, here's a quiz result.

| I'm being played by Eva Green in the upcoming HDM movies. Hope she doesn't suck.
Also, I'm moving to a new city on Friday. I don't have Internet set up at my new place yet, so I may drop off the grid for a bit. (Well, more off the grid than I am now, anyways.) A bit nervous about grad school, but otherwise I'm doing okay... | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Wow, it's like 75 degrees here. It's absolutely gorgeous outside. Campus today seemed to be divided between people who accepted the warm weather and wore t-shirts, and people who refused to accept it and wore coats. Though as the day goes on I'm seeing more and more t-shirts :).
I'm so incredibly busy right now. I keep telling myself that it's just preparation for grad school, but that doesn't make it any easier. Still, I think I'll come up on Saturday, and I should be able to get a lot of work done then. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Yesterday was such a gorgeous day. I think my favorite kind of days are the ones that come in spring, when it rains in the morning, but it's sunny in the afternoon. The sun is shining, the air is humid but not hot, there are lots of pretty puddles everywhere. It's my favorite kind of weather. We usually don't start getting days like that until late April, but yesterday was just like that. I don't like what that forebodes for the summer, but I'll enjoy this weather as long as I can.
The other thing I really like is when trees are flowering, which they haven't *quite* done yet. The cherry blossoms should be especially pretty this year, though.
It's funny how much of a difference weather can make on somebody's mood and efficiency. For the last two weeks, when it's been cold, I haven't been to the gym, been really behind on work, and generally in a low mood. But now the weather is getting warmer, it's beautiful outside, I'm just back from the gym, and I'm caught up on almost everything and moving ahead in the things I still have to do. Is it bad that I find myself really amusing sometimes? | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Today, I'm procrastinating on a take-home exam I have that's due Tuesday. It's three essays. I really, really, really don't want to do it; part of the reason is that I hate writing literary analysis essays, and part of the reason is because I don't feel comfortable doing it any more (engineering is a great way to kill your writing skills), and a big part of the reason is that I just don't want to do anything.
*sigh* It's too late now... maybe tomorrow...

| Stolen from redux:
*sighs* Man, it's been a crazy semester. I feel like I'm still recuperating. Good, though; I got A's in all my classes for the very first time ever (w00t!).
Got a new computer for Christmas, but I sorta kinda broke it, so I had to send it in for repairs *sigh*. Still, it's kind of nice to be mostly bereft of Internet. Well, except for the terminally boring parts. I figure I'll ease my way back into fandom around January when I get my computer back, but until then there's reading the three million Bujold books I checked out from the library, and working on my mystery puzzle. There's a little mystery story that goes along with it, and putting together the puzzle lets you solve the mystery. I like having to work it out for myself instead of trying to match everything up to the box.
I just feel so confused about what I want to do next. I think it's because I'm getting older, and my choices are (or seem to be) becoming fewer. I mean, I have a career now, and it doesn't seem likely to change any time soon. I haven't had a BF since--well--high school, and I find it difficult to even imagine myself with anybody. There's RL stuff, and Internet stuff, and there simply isn't enough time to do everything that I'd ideally like to do.
But then-- I've always been cursed with a sense of perspective. I know perfectly well that I'll probably end up doing something totally different for a living. There are plenty of single people my age who go on to get married, even the ones who didn't date much. I'm not going to be involved in any Internet group forever, and it's silly to think that I would. Barring unforeseen accidents, I've got the rest of my life ahead of me, and it'll probably be way longer than what I've already lived. But it'd be nice just to be able to wallow in my melancholy mood without that little voice of reason piping up.
Though, really, I'm not melancholy at all. I seem to do most of my complaining when I'm actually happy. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
