Hi, my name is Kacy and I'm a bibliophile.

I can't help myself. I love to read.

Here is just a little glimpse into what has been consuming my life this past week:

I'm taking a Children's Literature course and I have to read 40 books by the time the course is done (averaging out to about 5 a week.) For some people, this might be torture. For me, it's heavenly. It's taking something that I love to do and 'forcing' me to make time to do it. It's just the perfect excuse to curl up with a good book and ignore everything else. I've been knocking out several-hundred-page chapter books in a matter of hours. I have to be careful that I get my other work done (like textbook reading, quizzes, etc.) in addition to the books I have to read, though. Basically I reward myself with reading the books--if I get all my other stuff done, then I can read. But I also have to make sure I have enough time to start and finish because I won't do anything else until I finish it. And I need to start being mindful of the time I start reading. For example, Friday night I felt like reading before bed and made the silly choice to start a chapter book at 10:50 at night. So I was up until 1 a.m. because I just couldn't put it down.

I'm crazy busy and it takes some major time management skills to get everything done that I need to for school and general life, but I love love love my classes.

If you need to find me, I'll be the one with my nose in the book.
