Nooo! i have so little time left!!!!!!!
Another year of obeying the whims of old people in weird outfits who hang out in classrooms!
(Does everyone's teachers have a tendency to wear weird clothing i.e purple paisley pantsuits? pleather pants? pumpkin earrings and blindingly orange shirts in May? )


On topic: Silas Marner-George Eliot, Villette-Charlotte Bronte, Unholy War- Esposito.

My teachers clothing... There are no words to describe the horror. Although once she wore a jesters outfit which she tried to pass off as a sweater. I don't think there have been any pleather pants incedents though.

The Rope Trick
There is a sort of busy worm,
That will the fairest book deform,
Their tasteless tooth will tear and taint
The poet, patiot,sage or saint,
Nor sparing wit nor learning.
Now, if you'd know the reason why,
The best of reasons I'll supply;
'Tis bread to this poor vermin.

I agree completely. The revulsion, the horror...
You're lucky about the pleather.
Look, Queezle.

Ughh!...That's my last year's bio teacher...She's like in her forties and was runner up Ms. Texas. Then she has this mole above her lip, and she puts lipstick on it! It's creepy! But then we would cheer up our english teacher by telling her all this stuff...That class was so fun.

On topic now, I'm reading Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. This year our school is doing the musical of it, and my friends are all in it. They're required to read the book, so if I want to know what they're talking about I also have to read it.

I love Les Mis. I used to sing all the songs obsessively.
Eponine is my favorite character. I tried to read the book, but it was too depressing.
Reading: well, finished Villette last night, so sort of out of books. Reading The Arabian Nights in the interim. Going to get out the 2nd Maximum Ride soon.
Look, Queezle.
