Game of Thrones

I have been watching Game of Thrones since yesterday. It is a good show but has too many characters which is confusing at times. I think it would be better for me to read the books first. I have given up on following some dramas like Gossip Girl and Nikita because they were getting boring. Is anyone watching the Walking Dead? I was obsessed with seasons 1 and 2 because the story was so exciting but in season 3 it seems the story enters a dead end. The writer just could not come up anything good, however, I think I will still watch season 4.
I get my freedom back after finals, but also boredom. It is life. When we are struggling with something we look forward a easy life. When it is gone, we get bored and probably get ourselves trapped into another thing. Then we fight again.
