- A lot of people whose blogs I follow seem to be participating in BEDA. This is something to be excited about because I really enjoy reading them (not in a stalkerish way).
- Today I bought 5 books for $30. The unfortunate part is that I probably won't get around to reading them as I have to re-read The Kite Runner (shudder) for English, re-read Forster's A Passage to India (Which is difficult to get through but a magnificent piece of Literature none-the-less, which I have to read for Lit), re-read The Persians by Aeschylus (though it's a short play, so that's no problem), finish re-reading The Catcher in the Rye (I love, love, love this novel. So much.), finish reading Wheel of Time book 8 (i think i'm up to 8) by Robert Jordan, finish reading Harry, A History, and Lolita by Nabokov;
- Then I need to begin reading one of the following: Wheel of Time 9, [the following were purchased today] Dracula by Bram Stoker, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by E. L Stevenson, Hamlet (no need to list the playwright - though I'm studying this later in the year for Lit anyway so it can wait), The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo, A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. I also have a list of 20 or so odd books which I am inclined to read sometime in my life.
Here's a scary thought: I personally own approximately 200 books. I am only 17. I'm running out of book space. I need more bookcases. I am such a nerd. (Though thanks to the Vlogbrothers, that's a good thing so I don't actually care.)
Ahhh, and I haven't even arrived to the part in which I talk about my day!!!! Perhaps in Summery Form:
- Woke up stressed. Not a great thing. The feeling was slightly diminished as today was the last day of Term One, and I knew it would all be over in three or so hours. So I got dressed.
- Wrote my Literature SAC. Not too sure how I went, but I feel like I did better than my last, which wasn't horrible but I needed to improve.
I'm really proud of myself, though, I've manage to maintain an A average in all my subjects this year, I don't think I've gotten lower than a B+, and that was only one SAC (guess which.) This isn't me bragging or being egotistic at all, basically, I've worked hard, and I'm getting results that I want. I can't ask for more. I just hope that I can maintain this.
- Went and had ice-cream with my friend after we spent a good five minutes screaming incomprehensible sentences made up of words such as "free" and "holidays" and "hell-freaking-YES."
- Bought the aforementioned books =]
- Had parent-teacher interviews (which students are allowed to attend if they so wish), and had really, really, really good feedback which honestly just made me feel more pressured. I mean, there was no criticism. None. What?? So now I just feel like I have to continue like this, and it's hard, so early into the year (what the hell am I saying? I've completed a whole third of the school-year). So basically, I need this break.
- Went out to dinner with some girlfriends =]
Basically, I love my life right now. I've so far made it through year 12 without any [major] breakdowns. Yay.
See, when I said I would make up yesterday's blog post, you didn't think I'd actually make it up, did you? This is bloody long. AH.
So, if you've made it through to this last paragraph or so, I would love it if you scrolled down ever so slightly to where the little button saying "comments =]" is. No, no, I'm not telling you to leave a comment, (although that would be greatly appreciated). Below are three little boxes. Please tick one =]. And continue to do so, really, it helps me and my motivation etc. I wanted to include more options but it wouldn't let me =[.
I don't think all my BEDA posts will be this long. I'll probably run out of things to talk about.
