where do i begin

For the last nine months, I have resisted the temptation of a little indulgent reading, simply because if I started a good read in a moment of weakness, homework or studying would not happen until I finished. As delightful as that would be, it would have the potential of setting me back and I worked too hard to stay on top of things. So, I have completely avoided any temptation and appearance of temptation for nine long months. Occasionally, I liked to live vicarious through others and read book reviews on blogs or at goodreads.com. A little stroll through a book store was always a treat. I liked to pretend I was seeking for something intelligent and irresistible. It doesn’t quite satisfy, but it is diverting and it tided me over.

Now finals are done and I am able to delve into something good. But where do I begin? So many good books, so little time

Funny thing is, now that I am done I am not quite sure what to do with myself. I can’t seem to shake this looming feeling that I should be doing something, and I can’t quite figure out what it is. After nine months of always having something I should be doing, its not easy for me to just relax and sit around doing nothing without feeling guilty. Good thing I start work on Monday. I’m excited to have something to do during the day and then I get to go home and do whatever I want. NO HOMEWORK!!! Yippee!! Now, where do I begin?
