in transition: the wheel weaves as the wheel wills→

when The Gathering Storm came out last year, i wanted to read it but wait until the final 2 books of Robert Jordan’s epic Wheel of Time were released. i figure, 2 more years - perhaps even less if i pace it out right since i planned to reread the whole thing from the beginning, i can wait.

then…

Am I the only one who couldn’t get into The Wheel of Time? My friends tried to get me to read it back in high school… but meh.

Counselling

Not a career change, but just for personal development… I’m thinking of becoming/learning to be a counselor, so I can develop patience and empathy.

Haha, talking with ajbby does this to me.

But I took a personality quiz before, and my innate “desire to help others” pointed me to this direction.

I certainly don’t have what it takes to counsel someone now (what with my impatience to see them change, or my judgmental attitude, or my lack of perception when it comes to someone else’s feelings) but maybe I can develop the qualities for it..?

Book Review: Graceling by Kristin Cashore This was recommended to me by Karl (gamerintheshell). It&#8217;s actually for juvenile readers but I sometimes prefer the juvenile fantasy genre (maybe because it&#8217;s just simpler and easier to get into? Haha.) Anyway, I won&#8217;t get into the summary of the story, you can just go to Google if you want to know. The main point is, I liked the book, and especially because I could relate to the protagonist. That was actually one of the reasons why this piqued my interest, when Karl mentioned that the main girl Katsa reminded him of myself. I would also consider this one of those &#8220;girl power&#8221; books, not just because of the main character, but also the importance of the female characters in the book, the focus of the story progression, and of course, the ending. Of course, when I got to the epilogue I went &#8220;What kind of ending is this!?&#8221; but soon after I realised that it&#8217;s perfect, because Katsa will be Katsa (yep, I know I&#8217;m not making sense, just read the book!)

Dog helps save drowning cat→

“About five minutes later, Chloe started crying at the glass door leading to the back yard. Bjelland let the dog out, but Chloe’s barking and crying persisted.

Eventually Bjelland heeded Chloe’s alarm and followed the dog to the family’s koi pond, where they found Willow struggling to escape the frigid waters. She had fallen through a hole in the ice-covered pond. Her owners surmise that she may have been in the freezing water for up to twenty minutes.”
