Immersed

So this last weekend I ordered the second book in the Hunger Games trilogy - Catching Fire - and upon receiving it consumed it. I read it most of the afternoon/evening on Friday and finished it on Saturday. It's one of the books I just can't put down (same deal with Harry Potter series).

Saturday night I then DREAMED the book - not fun considering there is much dying in it - and woke up Sunday realizing it might not be the healthiest thing for me. Plus, I got more then a little sad at the end of the book - it was like a good friend was leaving me without telling the end of her story... like I have to hold my breath and wait till I have the time to read the third book.

Nothing super-profound came out of this time but a realization that I do need to make sure I have fun and enjoy life... and the caution that I have to be careful what I immerse myself in as in, maybe not the whole book in one weekend... or maybe the whole series in a weekend?  Hmm... it's a good thing that Spring Break is coming up.
