What Now?

It seems like time flies by. So mainly, I wanted to talk about how I wanted to do NaNoWriMo again this year (I did it in 2009), but I don't know if this is such a hot idea, considering how bad my procrastination has become. Since I am finally a senior in college, I'm trying hard to do everything so I don't berate myself for missing out later. Therefore, I am still doing the whole being an editor of a daily newspaper thing, fashion show, a senior thesis, regular schoolwork, and putting 50,000 words on top of that could be the death of me or my grades.

In fact, my grades are going pretty badly by my standards this semester, so luckily I have picked the year where my transcript is already finalized for law school to slack off. My senior thesis seems to suck up a lot of research time without having that much to show for it, and this is sort of irritating. Going to Stanford for research this summer was fun, though, and I am thinking very seriously about pursuing a career on the west coast.

ALSO, ALSO I finished Son of Neptune. It was glorious. No spoilers, but I can say that this one hugely benefited from Percy's return as a narrator. He just shines whenever he gets page time, and you know, I don't want to sound like an angry fan girl, but the other characters don't have the kind of charisma he does to hold up a story. Just to compare, it took me six months to get through The Lost Hero. It took me less than ten hours to get through Son of Neptune. Review reactions later? Everyone knows I am actually incapable of giving a review; it is really just me saying whatever comes to mind about a book I've read. Fan fiction galore after the book, also. That is nice, though; it's a good feeling getting back to writing.

But I suppose it's early yet to figure out whether it would be a good idea to do NaNo, but I figured I should think about it and toss around some ideas. Good lord, someone give me some organization in my life, please. Someone tell me they are also doing NaNo. I certainly need a buddy if this is going to happen.

Guess What

SON OF NEPTUNE RELEASE DAY!!

Look at that picture. I just swooned. Hey, Percy.

Yeah, yeah, okay, I'll do a catchup post tomorrow. 1) I am finally done with law school applications. So I can take a breather, sit back, and wait for the letters to roll in. 2) I'm thinking about doing NaNoWriMo this year again? Is anyone with me? This may be a bad idea at this time, as I will explain later. 3) I am really bad at maintaining a blog.

Somehow, I am returning to 60 followers after my absence. Don't know how that happened. Hope I have substantive things to say from now on. Happy reading!
