Hitting the Books
I've done it. I finished book ten. Admittedly, there is a part of me that wants to join my comrads in arms by shaking my fist it the air and screaming, "Curse you, Robert Jordan!" But I did like it. It's only the end that makes me angerful. Well, October isn't so far away, is it? So now I have a problem. I finished my book. I hate finishing books. It's really bad this time because the series kinda ran together for me, so I just finished like a 6,000 page book. Now more than ever in my life, when I have a free 8 seconds I think, "Ooh, I could go read my book! But.. I read it all. I don't have a book. The story is over." :( It doesn't matter that at any given moment, I have a TON of stuff that I need to do for school. It just makes me miss the book more. Even if I wanted to pick up another book to tie me over for a while, it won't have the same universe, and I have about 3 weeks 'till graduation, so a book would only keep me from accomplishing things. I hope Egwene is okay. *Sigh* In other news, I got my test score back for physio psych the other day and I got a 96! That's a high A without a curve. At first I didn't think it was a big deal, because the mood of the class during the test was a mostly positive one. I really thought that someone was going to beat me. 3 different people turned in their tests when I was halfway through mine and I was one of the last 7 people when I turned mine in. So thought for sure I'd been beat. Sot the next time we were in class, when my professor didn't talk about the test I met her after class to see how it went. She flipped through and most of the grades were a 70-something. There was one 96 that stuck out like a sore thumb. That of course was me. :) So in general the class had done better than before, but it still didn't do well. Who knows, maybe she'll let us drop our lowest "test" score. I doubt it though. So that's 3 curve setting grades so far. At this point, I have enough extra points that even if I get a mid range B on the last test I'll still have my B. Hah.

Yeah.. I know what you mean about the finishing a book thing..
If you're looking for a GREAT series.. I would cordially recommend the "Incarnations of Immortality" series by Piers Anthony. It is one of my all-time favorate series (7 books). They are:
* On a Pale Horse
* Bearing an Hourglass
* With a Tangled Skein
* Wielding a Red Sword
* Being a Green Mother
* For Love of Evil
* And Eternity
Trust me Bridgie when I say you will more than love this series, particularly for the ending (well, last 2 books).. whatever you do, don't have it spoiled for you.
I think reading 10 immediately after 9 may have something to do with enjoying it. As you said, they all seemed to be one book to you; as an addendum to book 9, 10 is... still bad, but acceptable. As a BOOK that we waited more than two years for... I wanted more than just "What was that?", Mat tripping over himself, and "*gasp* Egwene!"
I wonder if I will ever finish book 9 and read 10. I just have a real hard time with the books, even though I went through to 8 and half of 9. I really want to see how the story goes, but it's so hard for me to make myself read.
I can not seperate them in my mind either. I think ten was a little disjointed, but otherwise really good. Though im pissed at egwene cause i want her to kick so much ass its not even funny. 11 i think will be awesome.
Oh and i hope perrin and/or rand really beats some sense into "the prophet"
WoT isn't something I can even think about trying to read. I don't have that sort of stamina.
just wanted to wish you good cheer in getting to know your new pope
ditto on the pope
and also on wanting Egwene to kick butt! She has sooooooo much more power than those chicks with the dream powers that she could literally tie the entire place up in her sleep. and knowing Jordan, the whole cuilendar plan probably didn't even make a dent. *sigh*
