A New Month Just Like the Last Month

April was a tough month in terms of meeting goals. I knew that my reading would be off, but the sheer frantic pace of the month threw everything off. I still haven't figured out why it was quite so crazy. I think it was probably a mixture of usual end of year stress coupled with the drama performance and getting very very sick. Ryan thinks that I actually got a cold on top of the sinus infection which makes as much sense as anything.

In any case, that means the this list is almost a complete repeat of April's. I've added a bit more than usual for variety and I have a hankering to re-read the Harry Potter series that I'm planning to indulge. The goal this month is to just get back on track now that the crazy is mostly over. Cross your fingers for me.
