   I read books this week. O_O *everyone gasps*
Well, first off, I am feeling "On top of the world". To some extent. *sincere smile* =)

I feeeeeeeeeel GREAT! Just...like...gravy. o_O

Anyway. I am EXTREMELY tired at the moment, too, and I can hardly even keep my eyes open. O_o I slept about eight hours in the last 48 hours. >.>

I. are. tired. Zzzzz. -_-

Hah. I came home from school, layed by our fire place, and was OUT for about two hours. And now, I am feeling tired again. I promised myself that I would be in bed by 10pm tonight. So...I have an hour and a half 'til bedtime. ^_______^

Today at school I saw Jim. *google eyes*

Ah. I wish he liked me. Suuuuure, he notices my existance every week or so, and chats with me for a few fleeting (yet wonderful^^) moments.

I just wish...HE WOULD DO IT MORE OFTEN! Grrrr.

But, I also have some homework that I decided I will do tommorow, soooo, yeah. In English class I completed reading "King Arthur" and "Beowulf". They are pretty good stories.

My English teacher was ecstatic that I actually picked up a book. >.< She knows I absolutely HATE reading, and she has tried to get me to read during reading time for the past four months...and to no avail. Yet, she was overjoyed when I asked for her "King Arthur" book. It was like her eyes sparked with hope for me. o_O

I'm sooooorry, Mrs. Patterson. But, I HATE reading, except for certain books of my liking; and not very many books (almost none) are to my liking. x3

...But, I was glad I could make her day by reading...two...not one...book. :)

And, gasp! I actually enjoyed reading those stories. Maybe I won't flunk the book progress sheets this quarter. >.<

You see, each quarter, each student is supposed to have read up to three books.

And. I. read. none. last. quarter.

Not even a chapter. That is how much I dislike reading. Well, okay. I DID read a few chapters from "Arabian Nights", and "Sharahzahdi and the thousand tales".

Those stories I enjoyed. They were written a few thousand years ago in Arabia, and they have the original story of "Ali-baba and the forty Thieves", and "Aladdin and the wonderful Lamp". (Yes, those are the original stories which the Disney version was taken^^)

So, basically, I like classics: Moby Dick, some Shakespeare, The Iliad, The Oddessey, Phantom of the Opera, Dragon's Gate (<---not a classic, but I love the book. :3), The Robe, Oliver Twist, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, etc.

I like classic books, or books written a long time ago, with awesome adventures. Anything less than that, I AM NOT INTERESTED IN.

"King Arthur" rocked meh sox, though! I love the part about Arthur's childhood, and how he was born, and how he pulled the magical sword from the stone.^^

Anyways, that was basically all I did in school today. I only had three classes today: Psychology, Spanish III, and English 11. We watched a movie about "Violent Minds and the causes" in Pysch, in Spanish III, I did ABSOLUTELY nothing. And in English, I read Beowulf.

So that was my day. Now go away. :P

:DD

Sincerely,

~Leanne, the scholar~
