My life thus far

Psych 118 (Field Methods in Psychology) has been… eventful.  It’s not fun all the time.  It get really, really stressful, being research-based and all. But I have to admit it’s pretty exciting, not to mention I have the most hilarious classmates ever.  The best part will be the final paper, where my groupmates and I are doing a study on certain internet behaviors.  I won’t say what it is yet, but I will probably need as much help as I can get once our topic is approved.  That’s where you, dear reader, will come in, once our professor gives us the go signal. Okay?

In other news, I visited the new Fully Booked on Bonifacio High Street last Friday.  You know, the one with 5 floors filled to the brim with books and other fun collectibles?  If you love books, you really have to restrain yourself from overspending.  Even I had a hard time, considering I don’t really read a lot (although I think I read books more often than a lot of my friends).  But I appreciate a good story, and there were just too many interesting titles that I couldn’t resist.  Luckily my dad was with me.  He bought me Briar Rose, a sort-of retelling of the Sleeping Beauty fairytale.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (SPOILER-FREE)

I promised to finish reading the seventh Harry Potter book over the weekend, because I just know some creep in school will spoil the story for me come Monday. And conveniently, I was down with a cough yesterday so I spent the whole day in bed, recuperating and reading. I finished until the 25th chapter, and I just finished reading the rest of the book today.

Okay, so Harry Potter isn’t the best-written book in the world, nor is it the most riveting story ever told. But at least it was fun, while it lasted. Entertaining enough for me to line up outside a bookstore the first day of its release.

But what I liked best about this book is that, in line with recent events, it put a lot of things.. in perspective, so to speak.

It would be interesting to see what the movie version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows would be like. Especially the Epilogue. Hee hee.
