The other day I was zoning out in my Literary Analysis class, idling doodling on my notes like I usually do. There were fifteen minutes left in class and I was counting down. It was the last day we were talking about Sent For You Yesterday, which is a very confusing and boring book. The [...]

Class has been in session for over a week now, so I have sat through enough lectures to give you a sufficient opinion on my edumacation for the semester. This semester is odd because only three of my classes have meeting times. Besides them, I am working in a research lab and working on my [...]

Almost a year ago one of my sisters and one of my friends demanded that I read a book called The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I agreed, as both of them have good taste in books. I got the book out of the library and read the insert. Not something I would’ve picked up [...]

I saw My Sister’s Keeper last night. I was quite excited about this movie for a variety of reasons. First, I absolutely love Jodi Picoult’s novels and My Sister’s Keeper is my favorite of hers.

I just finished reading The Great Gatsby which I had to read for my English class. I had heard a lot of good things about this book and was looking forward to reading a good book after the previous book, The Ladies’ Paradise, which wasn’t good at all.
But, I have to admit that I just [...]

Yoon has informed me of a list of 100 books that everyone should supposedly read. It was published by The Big Read.
Here is the list. The titles in bold, I have read. The ones underlined are ones I love. And the ones that are italicized are books I intend to read in the near [...]

As I promised, I shall now make a post about the books I have to read for English. The one we’re reading right now is called The Ladies’ Paradise by Emile Zola. This particular novel was written in the late 1800’s, in French. It was translated, obviously. It is quite a tedious read, owing to [...]

Today, after I dropped my sister and her friend off at dance class, I went to the library. My main reason for going was to try sending emails with their wireless network. I recently set up Thunderbird email on my laptop, and for some strange reason I have not been able to send emails using [...]
