The Remains of the Day

I feel as though I'm in a bit of a twilight zone at the moment. In terms of work, I haven't yet handed in and sorted out all my course work, so I don't have that strangely free feeling that usually accompanies exams. And my exams still feel like distant blips on the horizon (although I'm quite sure there's some self-deception in this feeling.. eep). Also, I have to be in Grahamstown till all the res-lets have left, so i will be chilling a fair amount after the 19th of June.

So all in all things are a little surreal at the moment, but I am taking GREAT joy in the fact that I have finally located a worthy source of novels in the Rhodes library... i've been searching for years now! Reading has always been my favorite thing to do in exam season, and I've begun with what looks as though it's going to be an amazing book: The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro... there is an Anthony Hopkins movie that was made about it a while ago... I'm loving it so far. Talking about Anthony Hopkins... I'm keen to go and watch his new movie with Ryan Gosling (The guy from The Notebook - *wistful sigh*)... the movie's called Fracture, and my sis says it's brilliant. Despite my complete dislike for horror movies, after looking into it, I feel this is a thriller that will be good :D

In keeping with the randomness of this post...

Things I like today:
- God's trustworthiness
- Novels
- British people
- Today's indoor weather
- Waking up with purpose
- My new shower cleaner

Things I don't like today:
- Women's magazines
- My lack of living arrangements for next year

Off now to max the remainder of the day, and hopefully make it a productive one :D
