tropiaveraI have been so tired since finishing the semester, it's actually a little worrisome. I'm pretty much unable to get out of bed unless I've slept for twelve hours, which is working out pretty well for me so far on my break. I'm supposed to start an internship in the next week or two, but in the meanwhile it's just sleep. Here are other updates!
+ Second-time half-marathon this Sunday. I think I'm in pretty good shape for it, despite the end of the semester wrecking my training just like last year, but unlike last year, the marathon isn't A WEEK AFTER THE SEMESTER ENDS.
+ I've started watching Luther and The Shadow Line; apparently this is going to be a summer for British police dramas.
+ The only thing I have to say about the Fringe finale is LUTHER LEE BOGGS, WILL YOU EVER NOT BE CREEPY? SPOILER ALERT: NOPE!
+ My sister is getting married this summer, have I mentioned that? She is! In like, three months. It's a little, what's the word I want...hectic? She and her fiancé set the date in, like, March, for a July wedding, and they're having a big wedding. Good thing I'm not the maid of honor or anything! Oh wait. It's going to be really lovely and they're very happy, but if I can get to July without another argument between my sister and mother about how to word the RSVPs, I will be...happy, but surprised.
+ I just finished Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde (author of the Thursday Next series, WHICH I LOVED), and I am kind of ambivalent about it! The whole structure is essentially an elaborate class analogy/satire in a fascist society and the nascent resistance movement, which is interesting and also it's about color perception (as in Munsell) because it's Jasper Fforde, but it was also annoyingly typical in a lot of ways (member of the privileged class becomes the resistance's champion!), but there were a decent number interesting twists on established plot elements, and I think this sentence has gone on long enough.
+ I'm registered for my last semester of graduate school for the fall! I said this when I finished undergrad, but holy shit, I am not going back to school again.
+ I should probably go to bed, I have to go to a meeting early tomorrow. That's right! I am now the kind of person who goes to meetings! This is an escalator that only goes up, baby.
You know, as opposed to all those other kinds of escalators.
