I did absolutely nothing productive this week. The semester has been winding down and responsibilities at Grapevine are becoming fewer and fewer. The result?
I ordered all three Hunger Games books on my Kindle for PC, and read them consecutively for three days straight. I am sure the effects of reading, eating, and sleeping for three days were negative to my health, not to mention the damage to my eyes from staring at a computer screen for that long. I even stayed up until 4 in the morning on Saturday to finish the last one.
Unfortunately, I did not wake up in time to go to church the next morning. This double sucked because a) church is the most rejuvenating part of my week, and I love going, and b) it was Easter Sunday!!! That is like, the ONE Sunday a year that you are not allowed to oversleep for church. And I missed it. Because I was reading. :(
Anyway, at least it was a wake up call to quit being so lazy. I do not have much time left in Thailand. Why spend it intentionally escaping reality, intentionally pushing away real life and living (for three straight days) in a fictional world? Gosh. How silly of me.
I went for a walk on campus this week and discovered a huge beehive, and a pretty little flower. If you have not read/watched The Hunger Games, just trust me when I say these are both significant to the plot:
At least I can say that the message of The Hunger Games is a good one: There is always hope. :)
