Spent the better part of last night and some of this morning reading Shadowland. For those not in the know, that is the first book in the Mediator series, possibly the best series ever. written.
This series of books, my friends, was the basis of my adolescent years from 13-15 (amongst many other embarrassing things) as you all probably know. I used to read at least some of it every single week for many months. I would go into the middle school library early in the mornings before anyone else was there yet and just immerse myself in the beautiful and spectacular world of Susannah Simon, Jesse de Silva and Paul Slater.
I forgot how much I love these books. Perhaps lacking the same maturosity and sophisticosity as Meg's older gentlelady books but still, when I sit there and read about how Jesse stood up and angrily grasped Suze by the wrist, looked forcefully into her emerald green eyes and said, "No, Susannah. It is too dangerous," my heart skips a beat and I'm 14 years old again with my blue backpack and oversized school uniform polo shirts and low ponytails (okay, I still enjoy the low ponytail every now and then) and it's so wonderful to be back there.
NS midsem on Tuesday arvo. So, that's what I've been working for so strenuously for the last week and a bit... It's hard to stomach the fact that all these hours of work have been for a one hour exam.
Oh Susannah, don't you cry for me. I will get through this.
