Now that the semester is finished, I've been reading and watching movies as if the world were about to end. I'm rebounding from the last few years of my life, during which I worked on my master's degree. (I will write more about that experience later.)

I think I need a real bed with soft pillows and blankets. And I need to sleep in it, not on the floor. My sleep habits are horrendous.
