salt skin

List of books I want to have made significant progress in by the end of this Quarter for school:

The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides
One for the Money by Janet Evanovich

I was going to have others, but a) I forgot their names and b) I think limiting myself to two is A-OK, because I can only read in spurt amounts anymore. Btw, I believe I bombed my second exam for Art History 101. My goal: to make it up in the final, and pray it at least brings my grade up from the monstrosity that is The 2nd Exam. I'll be lucky if I make a D on that exam.

In other news, I am playing homage to my Hellboy loving by ordering the Hellboy 2 novel from the library. It has had mixed reviews, so being the novel reader that I am-I'll add my own in due time. I am hoping it would live up to the expectations in the movie, but by the sounds of it-I may be in for a shock on that one. However, I do not want to let other people form opinions for me when I can form my own. So, I'll be blogging about that when I actually get to sit down and read it.

Also, it seems I always start back to writing on blogger when I have head colds-these past few days have been no different (I'd like to say this was on purpose, but sadly I was too dumb to notice until now-conveniently when I had a cold). It is unnatural when only your right eye is tearing up and my nose is going banana's. I barely could keep from standing up and walking out the door from my History class, but I only have two more weeks left-I need as much help as I can get. I hope this cold is gone by tomorrow, or significantly reduced in how malicious it is. This cold is brutal because nothing aches or pains me, I just have a twitchy, runny nose, with eyes that randomly water up on me, and only from one eye, making it seem like I am some dysfunctional psycho-crier.
