Library and Fiver Words

Kristin posted the 'five words' game, you basically ask for five words and then write what each word means to you. So without further ado...
EDUCATION:This is my ticket to getting to my dream career. I loved being at school chatting to friends, my fave memories are of
PSHE lessons, though they were deemed pointless with my peers, some were fun to do, such as making and marketing your made up product to your class, and some not so fun: writing a CV, revision sessions. Education is now a choice for me, as i decided i wanted a career and to get into uni , not a mandontary task to complete like it was in high school.
WRITING:
I would not consider this one of my strong points, i have a tendency to waffle on. The only writing i do consists of blogging, university assignment and chatting to friends online. I love reading other peoples blogs, to see their thoughts on certain subjects and just a nosey into other peoples lifes! Writing means to me apreciating books and the authors who write them, and having the skill of writing without waffeling on ^-^
CAFFEINE:
Caffeine means that hot, freshsmell of coffee in the morning, or waiting for a train and seeing passengers with their steaming hot of coffee! When i was younger i went totally hyper on caffeine based products, especially coffee, so i had to stick with the de-caf :D
PASSION:This means to me what you are passionate about, i am passionate about gaining good grades at uni, landing my dream job, and anything to do with the environment. I always assume if your not passionate about something you will never thrive in it, i choosed my uni course (health and environment) because i knew it meant something to me, i knew i would get good results because i am passionate about the environment.
WORK:Hmm work, i have not worked in a shop or any type of job. I have worked in volenteer jobs, which is good fun :) Erm i think work means working on assignments, trying to cram everything i know into pieces of work, it means those late nights trying to complete the assignment before the deadline.
Yay! I liked this game :) If you want your own 5 words just ask in the comments.
Yesterday night, or i could say at 1am this morning i
finished reading The City Of Bones by Cassandra Claire. If your following me on
Goodreads.com you will know i have just rated this 3/5, it was a good storyline of real life/fantasy/magic all rolled into one. But there were enough plot holes to last a life time, and the overuse of magic (magic stones, magic medicine, magic mirror, magic door, magic weapons, magic transport, blah blah blah!) was frustrating. However i rated this 3/3 because it was a comical book, i laughed out loud in some parts, especially the Jesus quote with Simon! It was a light read, and
I'm not sure if i will be buying the book that comes after it, unless its in a charity shop for £1.
Realising i have no more books to read, i went to the local library this morning, with a list of 6 books i knew they had in stock. I ended up with 3 of them... all because they have about 500 million sections like fiction,
non-fiction, YA, sci-
fi, etc. I was looking for a book by Michael Crichton in the
Fiction section, obviously it
wasn't there, they probably put it in another section. This happened with another 2 books...
The three books i loaned out are;
(The thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield, Remember Me? By Sophie Kinsella, The last Theorem by Arthur C. Clarke & Frederik Pohl, Skin Tight by Carl Hiaasen)I'm definitely looking forward to reading The thirteenth tale, its been getting really good reviews :)
