Blogger Life: Time Management/Book Haul (#4)

Hey guys! So it's been awhile since I've actually posted a review, but you guys no longer need to worry- I'm working on that!

As I stated before, I'm the new Editor-in-Chief of my school's newspaper, which means A LOT of responsibility. Despite having my good friend, Daria, as my Assistant Editor, I still have a million other things to do!

Last year, I could do everything that I'm doing this year, plus more and still make it home before 3:40. This year, I feel like I'm always running out of time!

Did you know along with the other books that I posted on my other Blogger Life posts, I also have THESE new books to read? 

That right there is a picture of my bed right now, and as you can see, I have my French homework out (I have a script due tomorrow & a presentation TUESDAY), along with Yesterday by C.K Kelly Martin (my Canadian awesome possum...I mean moose), which I'm currently reading at the moment. 

This past two weeks, I've been able to finish Clockwork Prince, The Pledge, and Chantress, and depending on how fast I can finish French, I can finish Yesterday as well (if, you know, I didn't forget anything). Even if I finish Yesterday, I still have Fury, The Lucy Variations, Incarceron (did I mention that's due WEDNESDAY?!), Sapphique and the two novels my librarian gave me to read. And now, I have the first three books of The Lost Books by Ted Dekker, and Blue Bloods and Masquerade by Melissa de la Cruz.

I seriously don't have time anymore. I don't know why, but I just don't. It's like, if I do one thing, I'll forget the other, and there's a huge chance both are very important things. 

Any tips for time management? Usually I'm okay, and I do have a little mess up with schedule but it doesn't usually affect me so much. I do a lot of team leadership programs/ trainings at my school that gets me out of class, but I've been doing that for a year, so it shouldn't make much of a difference, right? 

But I think my biggest question is: should I take a little break from blogging (except for my little Blogger Life posts) to catch up on my reading, or is that a big 'NO NO' !?

Happy Sunday everyone!!

Blogger Life: The Benefits of a Bookworm/Book Haul (#3)

As I write this, it's Wednesday night, nearly 10:45 pm. I am exhausted and just DID NOT have the time to do a Throwback Thursday post! I feel so bad because I said I would be more consistent with blogging, but I have my reasons:

1) I tutor 3 kids in science, all of which have a test Thursday

2) I helped my classmate with their essay

3) I had to do math homework *shivers*

4) I had to give the kids I tutoring some extra help when I got home plus some motivating words (it's very important!)

5) I have a French test Thursday...which I probably failed

6) I have an essay due next Wednesday or Thursday

7) My school board is giving us Friday off for Thanksgiving (YAY!)

8) EVERYONE has Monday off for Thanksgiving 

9) I don't go back to school Tuesday 

10) 4 day weekends = all your teachers schedule tests, quizzes and assignments the week before or after the break to get marks in before parent teacher interviews (WHICH IS REALLY SOON)

And 11) My family from Alberta is coming over, so my house is going to be crowded and loud for a week!

So you see, I have a lot on my plate right now. Also, as editor of the school paper, I'm responsible for setting up training days, the email, FB & Twitter page, and the next meeting, and reminding when others when deadlines are. 

And I'm also going to get my licence either during the break or next week. The problem? The driving book is my friend's, I have 397491839288392828 other things on my mind and I have 7 other books from the library to read and review. And I'm blogging.

I'm literally stressed to the max!

But, on the bright side, I went to the library today to talk to my favourite librarians! And guess what? I got some pretty cool books:

I got the Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev, Fall On Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald, and We Were The Mulvaneys by Joyce Carol Oates.

They're currently 7-9 on my reading pile, but I'm seriously excited. I'm reading Eyes Like Stars first since it's a library book, and I'm saving the other two for last since they're the librarian's. Another reason why in saving the last two books for last is because my librarian told me I'll cry. I told him not to give me any books that will give me feels/ put me in mourning period, but no, he still gives them to me.

Bright side? I have a lot of books to keep me busy for at least 2 1/2 weeks. The benefits of a bookworm, huh?

What I want to know is, what's keeping you awake? Homework? Assignments? Coffee? Comment bellow or say hi to me on my twitter @missyallydums97!

Have a good morning/ night guys! Off to study for French :)

Blogger Life: Book Haul (#2)

I knew that blogging would be hard, but I never expected it to be THIS hard.

I knew that book bloggers not only had to balance their normal, everyday lives with their blogging life, but I never knew that finding that balance would be such a struggle.

For example, I just finished reading Shelter by Harlan Coben (expect the review really soon guys), but to finish that book I had to give up studying for the economics test that I had today (I really don't wanna know how I did on that test). And last week, I finished Daughter of Smoke & Bone but I had to read it EVERYWHERE just to get it done on Friday. So you see, it's really hard to find that balance at first.

But on the bright side, I have A LOT of books ready to read & review!

I got Seconds Away (the sequel to Shelter) by Harlan Coben (which I'm finishing tonight), Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare, Incarceron by Catherine Fisher, Fury by Elizabeth Miles and The Lucy Variations by Sarah Zarr.

I even got this e-book from NetGalley:

 
I have so much homework to do, so many books to read and review, but so little time. Hopefully I'll find a way to make it all work, especially since I'll be tutoring science every week starting next week.

Oh and I'll be posting reviews for The Almost Truth by Eileen Cook, United We Spy by Ally Carter (cue hysterical sobbing), and Shelter by Harlan Coben.

And this Friday, I will be starting Fangirl Friday up once again, and I will be featuring Jost Bell from the Crewel books by Gennifer Albin! Isn't that cool? (And if you don't know what Crewel is, you should seriously read it! It's amazing! I have a review of the book here in my blog, which you can find in the archive section!).

Now, to do my homework! Have a great Tuesday guys!
