Hey guys,
Holy crap! Looking at the date on my last blog post makes me cringe. How has it been almost 2 weeks since my last review/post?!?
So I suppose some apologies are due. While it’s no excuse (though it really should be) all I can say is that this last week or two has been CRAZY hectic!!! I’m talking school assignments, lame projects, unexpected quizzes and ridiculous reading assignments…not to mention the long papers and insane exams coming up. I usually hate the last few weeks of the semester, but when it starts cutting into my blogging time–now it’s gotten personal. >:(
But at least it will all be over in a few weeks!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then summer classes start…ugh.
So yeah, not really getting the usual three month break. Instead, I get to take classes through May and June. I still get July off, but then it’s right back into the classroom in August. But it will all be worth it come December, when all the homework and tests and yucky reading will come to an end. FOREVER!!
As I said, I’ve been really busy these last couple weeks. And it looks like I will continue to be so for the next couple months. But I will still try my best to keep up with you guys. After all, it’s the reading and blogging I do here that keeps me sane. And I need my sanity.
Probably the coolest thing about this whole blog thing (as most of you know I’ve only been doing this for about 4 months now) is the massive influx of viewers on a single day. For instance, on most days I only get a couple of viewers–if any–but yesterday and randomly got like 40 views. And I didn’t even post that day! Being a young blogger, this is pretty huge to me. I also love that I’m getting viewers around the world, from all kinds of countries. Gotta love the internet!!
Between you and me, I’m still holding out for one from Australia. 
Hopefully my stress level will die down soon and I can start actually reading books for you guys. I’m working on some ideas for changes on the page, which I think will be really fun. So while I work on that, you guys just keep coming back and sharing with your friends, and I promise to keep writing…even when I’m knee deep in assigned reading, 10 page papers, and straight up sleep deprivation.
Oh 2012, you are certainly going to be a year to remember!
