My brain hurts. I don't think I've looked away from the computer for more than 10 minutes at a time today. Actually I think it's more like 4... I slept in and then got to work reading for my Intro to Sustainability class. This book is shaped like a novel, but written like a textbook. The information is interesting, but there are too many stats and information repeated several times over in each chapter. I had to read 3 chapters (of 40 pages each) today. By the end I was just reading the first sentence of every paragraph and completely ignoring the ones with numbers in them. I don't need to know exactly the number of gigawatts of energy the Phillipines and Taiwan and India and China and Mexico and Brazil and the Democratic Republic of the Congo AND the United States all could produce by 2020 if we followed the new energy saving plans. Which are great, I just don't need that much information. Reading 120 pages at a time, I'm not going to remember that. The only thing I remember from 12:30 pm today is that polar bears are starting to become cannibalistic. That's all I remember from the first chapter. That's not good.
BUT now I am finished with the reading. Until next weekend when I have 2 more chapters to read. Aye Aye Aye.
And with that, I am going to bed. Because I'm exhausted. And yes, I read for forever today so I feel I earn to go to bed now. Very busy day tomorrow, but that's Tuesday for ya! Night.
OOOOH one great thing that happened today is that I won a $25 gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond!!! They had this sweepstakes going for the last 2 months and finally on the last day I won an instant win prize. Now I'm just hoping I know someone that wins the $91,000+ retail value sweepstakes. Hopefully me. Or my cousin who showed me the site. We shall know in a few weeks. :) But I'll take a free $25!
