FREEDOM!!

Freedom is MINE!! MINE, I SAY!! I'M DONE WITH FINALS!! AH HA HAAAAA *manic laughing*

Heheh. Anyway.... XD

Obviously, I'm now done with finals. Just finished late this morning, and now it's late afternoon and I have nothing to do. And I am perfectly happy. Actually, I wanted to teach myself how to harmonize (my voice is weird), and I was right in the middle of getting started when the rest of my family decided to arrive at home. It was like, Great. An hour of solitude, and the second I try and do something that I'll only do by myself when no one's around? They come back. Okaaay.

Whatever, I'll try it again... um... some other time?! O_O

What I'm Reading: Dork Diaries, by Rachel R. Russell. It's way below my reading level (it's actually my sister's book that she got when we were at B&N), but it's actually a really good book. (Infinitely better than Twilight, too.) It's kind of like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but it's a girl telling the story (instead of a guy). It's reeeaaally funny :D

Highlighting Twilight

So right now, I'm in the process of rereading Twilight and adding snarky little comments in pencil. I'm counting how many times...

1) A form of the word 'murmur' is used

2) A form of the word 'glower' is used

3) A semicolon is used (they're awesome, but if you overuse them? LAME.)

4) Edward's physical traits are described

5) Edward tells Bella that it's dangerous to be around him

#5 isn't applicable yet, since I'm only on chapter 2 and they haven't spoken yet. But so far, in 1 chapter plus one page (a total of 29 pages), there are...

1) Murmurs: o

2) Glowers: o

3) Semicolons: 15

4) Descriptions: 18

5) Dangerous: (N/A)

That's right, folks. And the physical descriptions are only on TEN pages. Scary, I know. Unfortunately, I'm not to chapter 7 yet, so I can't rewrite much yet (plus, I'm in the middle of finals). I'm especially looking forward to commenting on chapter 13- the chapter where Bella and Deadward are in the meadow. >:D

What I'm Reading: Twilight. Duh. Didn't you read the rest of the post? ;)

Ew, finals...

Bleah, sorry I haven't posted in so long... I just kinda lost motivation. :P Unfortunately, I may have to put the Breaking Dawn stuff on hold because I have finals coming up. I mean, Christmas break was nice and amazing and relaxing, but once I get back to school? INSANITY. So for the next four weeks or so, anything outside of school will be pretty much nonexistent. My finals schedule is a bit like this...

~Drag myself out of bed at the ungodly hour of 5:40 AM

~Somehow get in the car and to school on time

~Attempt to stay awake in my morning classes, both of which pound finals material into my head

~LUNCH! 25 MINUTES OF FREEDOM! HOORAY!

~Back into the death trap of afternoon classes (still trying to stay awake), both of which attempt to engrave finals stuff into my brain

~Get home and procrastinate for an hour or so

~Procrastinate some more while "studying for finals"

~Actually start studying for finals at like 7:00 PM

~Stay up until approximately 1:07 AM frantically trying to cram as much information into brain as possible

~Go to sleep at about 1:30 AM and repeat the whole thing. And repeat again... and again... and again...

On a lighter note, I finished the WHOLE Cirque du Freak series! (*sob*) I read... er... one of the later ones, and I got super depressed and was like "Why should I even keep reading? ___________ happened... there's no meaning to reading OR writing... the world is ending..." But then somehow I got the motivation to keep reading. (The fact that my best friend threatened to murder me if I didn't finish the series soon helped a lot.) :D

What I'm Reading: Sons of Destiny, Cirque du Freak Book 12!! 8-O It was AMAZING! I cried! A lot! Uncontrollable crying/whimpering/rolling around on the ground in the fetal position is a sign of a very good book. If it can evoke strong emotions, it means the author did their job right. Darren Shan did a little TOO well... (just kidding) :D
