The longest week ever

It's STILL only thursday. This week seems to have been going on forever and I'm almost fed-up but I will not give up yet. Well, it's only french tomorrow and french is well french (don't worry if that doesn't make any sense). Last night, I was thinking about how great it is that I'm finally going home and I get a break from college for almost a month. The only bad thing is that I'm going to get a lot of thinking time again. I've been pretty good at blocking out thinking about stupid things these past few weeks cause of all the studying and well I just haven't had time, if I wasn't studying, I was sleeping or eating or laughing about the most random things (or stupid arguments, like a case of memory loss hahaha) with my friends and NOT thinking about some things that may bother me if I think about them. I'm obviously not going to tell you what they are, btw. :-P
I need to find things to do this holiday. For starters I have a list of books that I want to read:
1. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (I have to read this for my book-club)







2. The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand (I started this a while ago but didn't get to finishing it)








3. The Life of Pi by Yann Martel







4. The witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho (its been a long time since I've read one of his books)







5. Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts







So my first trip out in Bangalore shall be to Crosswords! I probably won't end up reading all these books cause well, Shantaram and The Fountainhead are pretty sizeable books. But let's see I did manage to finish Gone with the Wind in like a week or something during the summer so anything is possible! ;)
I also want to watch a lot of movies but nothing comes to mind right now... Besides the 'Feast of Love' which is apparently a modern rendering of Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" which I love! Hopefully I might watch it this Saturday if I can convince the rest. Sonu is with me on this one, right?? PLEASE let's NOT watch Bhool Bhulaiya!! :S
I feel like watching some old movies, maybe some more Audrey Hepburn classics. I LOVE HER. I think I will also watch the other two parts of the Godfather while I'm at it. I actually liked the first one.
Oh, I CANNOT WAIT TO GET HOME!!! :D :D :D

I own The Life of Pi, but haven't read it. Heard not so good reviews, actually, from some people I know. Although didn't it win an award?
