Productivity

So, I kinda gave up on my book a week thing, which I feel very rubbish about. In eleven weeks, I have read three books and started one which I subsequently have given up on.

Weeks Four - Fifteen:

Mr Maybe - Jane Green

To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov

And I started and gave up on:
The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini

I'm sorry, I know I was supposed to love that book, but I really didn't get into it at all.
I will try and read it again sometime, but for now I want to focus on reading all the other books I have! I didn't bring so many back with me after Easter, because I already have so much stuff to be shipped back and my dad is already freaking out about it. I have maybe three boxes of books alone, including my huge German dictionary, so I only brought back a few of the ones I ordered from Amazon in January/February. But airports always have great offers on books, so I picked up a few on my way back. Two were on Buy One Get One Half Price, and one hasn't been released as paperback in regular bookstores yet, but it has at airports and I really don't want to wait a whole year for it, so I got it there. So I have loads to be cracking on with.

I also finally started my Year Abroad Essay this week. My lecturer suggested a title for me (he didn't like the one I came up with), but it was a bit dry I thought, so I spent literally weeks mulling over what I could use instead, then finally at like 3.30 a.m. one night, the best one came to me out of the blue. I was so happy, and finally felt like I could start to write, although I was planning to start anyway and then go back and change the title as and when genius struck, because I was starting to freak out about time running out (it has to be handed in June 7th).
So I finally started this week, and I now have a complete introduction! It has to be 3000 words in total, so I still have a lot to do, obviously, but now I at least feel like I am getting somewhere. I like that feeling!

Ok, I'm gonna go read my new book!!!
