This...
I'm not even sure what to write about. But lets just go with it, see where it goes. So last night I helped move half a store. I work at a Jo-Anns in the greater Cincinnati area. We had some guys coming in to strip the floor, so we had to take the entire fabric side of the store and move it to the craft side. And its not like this store is the size of Walmart, but still its a big store. Needless to say, I'm ubber sore. Oh well such is life. In other news I'm almost finished reading Divergent. Yes, the curiosity got the better of me. I went to see the movie and decided that I should probably read the book. So I am. I'm also reading another book, among the ones I'm currently reading, called THE SIXTH EXTINCTION. Its about human failure basically. HA! It's kind of sad to read about the history of the world and the human from a scientifically based Ethics stand point. But interesting none the less. Anyway, about Divergent. I very much like the amount of character building in this book. The story line is rather predictable but it's good despite that. I suggest you read the book after going to see the movie. You'll be less disappointed. Not to say the movie was bad. It was good. But as with all books that go to movies, the pre-readers are usually mad about things being a bit different.

Reading Books in College
It is always hard to keep up with your favorite authors or writings while in any form of education. But in college? It's almost impossible. All of your time is devoted to school and homework and not to mention studying. And *cough* partying *cough cough*. But you have to relax at some point. Which is where the 15 minute break time comes in. The human brain can only stay focused on one task for about two hours, this means you start to get distracted, you get restless, you get angry. It's happened to us all. The studying rage. Most people take a break at this point. Watch some TV, talk on the phone, or nap. My suggestion? Read. It's like a movie in your head! And once you are hooked on a book, you'll want to finish that homework all the faster. At least in my experience, this works. TV is a problem. Its not like you can just pause live TV (don't get smart with me, all you 'I have a premium package' people!). So you will want to sit there and finish the show, which are usually anywhere between a half hour to an hour. A book? Just put it down. Use your books as a motivation/relaxation tool. No stress. Yay! Problem solved!
