Schools out...for winter!

Ladies,
Thank you so much for all your hair crisis support! I'm glad there are people just like me out there. I'll try and post a picture when I can get someone else to take it. Again, Thanks, I really appreciate it!!

On to other things:
I don't talk about it too often, because it really isn't that exciting, but I'm currently in grad school while working part time. And, boy is it fun! (read: totally NOT fun). There isn't anything really negative about it, I just have very little time to do anything but homework in my free time. I have probably watched two hours of t.v. a week this semester and that is very unlike me.

But- today, I AM OFFICIALLY DONE FOR THE SEMESTER! Woooooohooooooooo!!!!! I can't even describe my excitement. All my papers are turned in, exams done, everything! YYYYEEAAHHHHH!!!!!

Even better, classes don't start again until the last week in January, which means about six weeks of no-school time!

So, my comfies are on and I am going to sit in front of the t.v. from now until bed time and feel 100% not guilty about it. WOOHOO!

As much as I like my t.v. time (soap net, anyone?) I also really enjoying reading. Give me a good book and a glass of wine and I can be content for hours. But--having read academic literature all semester, I'm out of the book world and am in desperate need of suggestions.

So, ladies (and maybe one gent or two), do a gal a favor and leave a comment with your most recent favorite read? I need some quality reads for over the Christmas break and through January.

Looking forward to reading your picks!

Read the Twilight series. You will fall in love and never want the story to end. There are 4 books total.
I also just read the Christmas Sweater by Glenn Beck and it was an amazing story. It is an easy read and you will finish it fast.
Enjoy!
Also- I start grad school Jan 5th! SO I am right there with you!

If you are looking for chick lit that is an entertaining story, anything my Marian Keyes, especially Sushi for beginners and Watermelon. You might get dummer for having read them, but it's so worth it. I HAVE to finish them in like a day b/c I can't wait to find out what happens.
Congrats on being done! It is SO WEIRD for me not to be a student anymore... enjoy your 6 weeks! xo
