BEDA #30 - the end of BEDA
Today was not a great day. It's rainy and grey outside, and I have bad cramps. Also, I couldn't really concentrate on studying for my exam tomorrow morning. I am so ready for it to be over, I really need a break. I feel so worn out and tired of school right now. Of course, in about a month I'm going to get all bored and antsy and won't be able to wait for it to start again. I guess I'm just never happy with what I have...

I did a little iTunes spring-cleaning today, deleting stuff I don't like or have no interest in ever listening to again. A lot of the stuff I got rid of I don't even know how I got in the first place. It felt good, de-cluttering my music. I'm also in the process of adding more stuff that I do like, including some Beatles stuff I don't have (shocking, I know). It's mostly singles and B-sides that I don't have, since we have all the studio albums on CD. I'm also adding some No Doubt albums I don't have, since I got a free download of their discography with the purchase of my ticket for their show here in June. I need to do some actual spring cleaning of my room, but that's going to have to wait until I'm feeling better.

I'm currently in the process of reading Catch-22 and Suite Scarlett. The former is part of my attempt to read classic novels, and the latter is a young-adult book that I am loving, despite being "too old" for it. After I finish these, I have pile of other books waiting to be read. I'm so looking forward to reading on my new balcony this summer! I'm so glad I started reading again. When I started university I kind of let it fall by the wayside, despite it being one of my favourite things to do. That transition from high school to university was tough, and I stopped reading for enjoyment, which is sad. After first year, I realized I hadn't read a book all year, and I started to fix that. It took a little while to get myself back on track, but I did, and I am once again an avid reader.

Well, this is my final BEDA post. I didn't quite blog every day in April, but I did post 26 times, which is a lot better than the 3 times I did in March. I think this project has gotten me back into the blogging spirit. I just checked, and I'll have had this blog for 5 years in July. That's crazy to me, cause I remember so well when I started it. I didn't even want to really, but Marcela and Vlada both had livejournals, and I felt left out. So I made this account, and I've been here ever since.

I'll be posting again soon, I promise, I need a few days break though.

I'm a bit late to this, but I hope the exam went well! Was that your last one? I was on the UofT campus and it seems like the entire student body is split into one half with disheveled hair and raccoon eyes stumbling out of the various libraries and the other half who are lounging around soaking up the sun and lining up at our various regular icecream trucks.

I hope you get to join the latter half soon!

Also, I'm sure I've mentioned this before but Catch-22 is one of my all time favorite books (top 5, for sure). I hope you like it! I've been collecting Joseph Heller books ever since I read that one :)

Thanks a lot! It was my last one, and I am now reveling in my new-found freedom. I'm the first one of my friends done though, so I have to wait to do any sort of celebrating with them.

You have mentioned your love of Catch 22 before. I'm not very far in, but so far it's pretty good! I really like his writing style. Now that exams are done, I'll be able to really get into it!
