This weekend was one of the most stress free ones that I have had this month.  Why? Because on Thursday I won this piano competition, which made it so that I had a good excuse to not play piano:  "I deserve it"  And also, there is not much homework due to the fact that it is the end of the term.  So, this weekend all I have been pretty much doing is reading this very long book, The Count of Monte Cristo.  I couldn't say that it is tedious or boring, because, in fact, I like it very much.  It has a great story line.  What annoys me, however, is that it is 600 pages long, and I, having started over 4/5ths of the way into the story, have 350 pages to read in 4 days, which shouldn't be much of a problem for me, since I read very quickly, and have a pretty good idea what will happen.
