Update

I spent my first day of the 8-day break like shit.

I find it so hard to sit down and read! It is as though my butt is protesting. I sat for a while, took in a few words, and the next thing I know, I am hitting the keyboard or reading other books. And as usual, time and tide wait for no man, so here I am typing this lament-toned entry: I've wasted a day!
