What's Keeping Me Busy?

So what exactly is keeping me busy? Two words - textbooks and a cat.

Next week, I'm plunging back to grad school. I already got most of my textbooks; there's two more books missing which I'll pick up at the bookstore by Tuesday. I'm optimistic this semester will be interesting. I'm taking a class in American literature (elective) and another one on U.S. Immigration history (core). The books are rather interesting especially the readings on my literature class.  I took two core courses last semester and the readings were too demanding. I'm hoping that with an elective class, it will make the prerequisites of my core subject a little less demanding. Or, would at least allow me to spend more time studying for my core subject.

 Textbooks for this semester.

And a curious cat.

Happy weekend everyone.

    I'm excited with grad school too. This is actually what's hindering me from flying for a vacation.

      Try 'The Great Gatsby' or try any of Ernest Hemingway's books.

    Good luck and have fun in grad school (I'm excited to go back to school myself!). Those courses sound like fun (I <3 history & lit!)!

    Your cat might want to do some reading too, by the looks of it =)

      That's a great idea. Also, just by having books available at home makes someone get interested to read. It will also make SooAe love books at a very early age.

    Ha ha the cat looks so cute. I am sure having him in your lap will help you study better. Or maybe not :)

      Oh if I have her on my lap, I'll end up napping as well. She's so soft and cuddly.
