Aw shit, Faye. You made me cry. I managed to not cry for the whole of PN day, and then this morning I read your journal and ended up bawling.
I still love you, though.
Today... was the last day of school. We did... nothing. Well, that's not exactly true. We had nothing planned for the entire day, but I did manage to finish <i>Clockwork</i> and get about halfway through <i>Count Karlstein</i>. All y'all Pullman fans, he's written more than just HDM! <i>Clockwork</i> is a great, fun, quick read.
So now, it's officially summer. This means sleeping in, watching a lot of TV, reading less, and generally doing a lot of nothing. To try to remedy that, I have set up a few guidelines for this summer:
-I will pick my guitar back up and re-learn the notes. Even if my fingers hate me and I can't play chords, I can still have fun ploink-ploink-ploinking away. -I will practice Spanish at least once a week - Reviewing grammar, vocab and whatnot, also trying to decipher the two Spanish books Mr. Smith let me borrow. -I will try to listen to my entire CD collection by the end of the summer. There are so many CDs I have on my shelves that I listened to once and gave up on. Some are there because they're terrible, but maybe some aren't. -I will watch Queer Eye every week.
That, along with the 4 CDs and 2 DVDs I'm expecting in the mail [not to mention Casey & co.'s letters =D] and the one DVD I have that I've yet to watch, should cover me for boredom. And then, of course, there's wasting my time here online, which is always fun.
My last period of the day was halfly spent in Mr. Curless's room ('Everyone's in Mr. Curless's room,' Ms. Napier said... It ended up being me, Mr. Curless, and another kid Eric.), and he asked me what my vote for was on <a href="http://www.westcler.org/gh/curlessmatt/CTS_Webpage/index2.htm">CTS's website</a>, for a new course. I automatically answered, "French!". Mr. Curless clicked the vote, and said, "French seems to be a popular one." I'd already voted before, and now this, and I made Faye vote... But don't tell him that <_< >_>
The library needs to die. Or get more books. One or the other, you know. I need to find some books to check out once I'm done with Count Karlstein, which will be in one or two days. But... THEY DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING. Believe me, I have a huge list of books I want to read. BUT NOTHING'S THERE. *sighs, and continues checking the library's catalog* YESYESYES! They have the second Sally Lockheart book. The thing is, I barely remember the first one. So, I'll re-read the first one and then get this one. OKAY!
Now that I've got that settled, I have nothing else to talk about. =\
Erm... Comment with book recs? I've got a long list, but nothing is ever at the library and books are expensive xD
~Joy wonders if she will even read at all this summer... she never does... |
