valzhangGood day today! It's the last day of break since class starts today so I wanted to make it worth it. I spent quite a lot, 25 euros, but I'll try my best to be diligent the rest of the week about being cheap. 20 euros until Sunday is doable, isn't it? Haha...
I woke up late because I stayed up last night reading through pages upon pages of old-timey Three Houses discourse, an underrated joy of life. I went to eat Taco Bell... the 5-layer burrito is so good actually. Also maybe it's a Dutch thing but why is the fire sauce not that spicy? I could've sworn it was way spicier back home. I'll definitely remember to bring my tabasco and sauce next time. Also the cup is refillable which is Awesome I drank like 3 glasses worth of green tea. Yes I pissed like a racehorse but so worth it.
I went to the bookstore after that. After such a long time of searching I found Open Throat by Henry Hoke! But I was put off by the price—14 euros for a book that's barely 150 pages. I could probably read it in under an hour when I could get another much longer book for a similar price. I searched for TVD, but despite the cashier telling me where to find it, no luck. I'm thinking that next time, I'll go again and see if TVD or another book I really want is there. I'll buy that, and then read Open Throat in the cafe upstairs without buying it. Since I already bought another book, it'll cancel out and I can be guilt-free about scamming them a little. That's how it works, right?
Went to the library after and finished The Beautiful and Damned. Okay, I feel like I say this about every book so maybe I'm just easy to please, but I liked it! I'll write out a post on it soon. I regret that since I had to return the book I don't have it anymore, I like to go through books a little even after I finish them, but oh well.
Then I got Less than Zero from the library! Finally, a new book that's actually on my TBR lol. I'll read Sayaka Murata's Earthlings first, but I'm sure I can finish both by the end of February.
My paper is due on the 14th. I have time I think, but I should finish that up soon. Not before I work on Body on the tracks, though! Even though it's not as popular as it was initially I'm still super excited to finish it.
Pretty good day. Thumbs up from me.
