New in my Reading/Blogging/Personal Life: 

This week I started orientation for grad school! Let me tell you it was EXHAUSTING. Most days I was happy just to come home and eat and then immediately go to bed...however, I survived the long 9-5s, 3 exams, scheduling, and a social hour (which was more like four hours lol). Plus it was exciting to figure out what classes I'm taking, meet other students, and get acclimated with everything. I think I'm really going to love it here! This upcoming week brings another week of orientation, but thankfully it will be more laid back. 

As for reading, I feel like I got no reading in, but weirdly enough, I managed to still read 6 books - PRETTY WICKED, THE BOY I HATE, DRESS CODES FOR SMALL TOWNS, HOLLY FREAKIN HUGHES, DRIFT, and TEXT, DON'T CALL. I don't know how I managed that still. My favorite out of the bunch would have to be a tie between THE BOY I HATE and DRESS CODES FOR SMALL TOWNS. THE BOY I HATE was the perfect lazy Saturday read while DRESS CODES FOR SMALL TOWNS was one of those books that ended up really surprising me! I can't wait to share more about both this week! :)

    Eeeeek that grad school stuff does sound exhausting. But I'm glad this week should be calmer. Hope it is :)

  4. Oooo, grad school. Fun times! This is my first year not being in school (I graduated from uni in May) and it's so weird! I've been in school since I was four so like... it's weird. I like it though. :D I loved Illuminae! Obsidio could not come soon enough. I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
