I woke up yesterday and realised that my hols are nearly at an end. How did that happen?? For quite a while, i kept telling myself, there's an entire month left... College is far far away... So to take my mind off the depressing subject, i started reading my book(current being isaac asimov's empire and foundation series). I finished one book, started another one and finished that too, and somewhere in the next one, i fell asleep. When i woke up i realised that yet another day was gone, and with me having nothing to show for it... After it happened yet again, i realised where the blame lay. It was the damn books!! Once i start reading i forget food, water, friends, family, everything... I've spent quite a few days sitting at my computer(ebook) just reading... And it was with considerable effort that i yanked myself away long enough to go buy some shoes...

So what i'm wondering is, is it a bad thing?? I never thought that reading was a bad thing. It didn't seem to be a bad thing. It's especially pronounced in college where i have been known to be so involved in my book(non-academic, of course) that i've skipped all my meals and not even noticed when friends visited my room and chatted with my roommates for hours. In fact, I took it as rather a compliment whenever anyone commented 'shazz reads and reads and reads, and when he reads, nothing can disturb him', or words to that effect.


Well in hindsight, that doesn't seem like such a good thing... I have found the reason for my antisocial tendencies... I can't believe i'm saying this, but i suppose i'll have to cut down on the books and get out more... :(
