yippy skippy!
woohoo! well besides being the most technologically illiterate person that there ever was(kind of the opposite of how i feel in computer apps...hmmm) i feel...complacent! hehe, i picked that from my current moods, drop-down thingybadingy. I wonder what its like to look through that list and pick out how you're feeling without a moment's hesitiation. i mean, i bet a lot of people do it, but because i love words too much, or because i'm extremely indecisive, that list simply tantalized me and i had to think quite a lot before i could pick an emotion! but all that's said and done, i did it! yay! and i do feel rather complacent indeed!
so yeah, this livejournal thingy should be fun, except i don't really know how to do anything...like get pretty backgrounds, or my picture icon, or any of that cool stuff. whatever, i'll figure it out. it all comes in time.
:) bmmm de bmm bmmmmmm! today was quite marvelous for a day of functioning on, oh, about 5 hours sleep! dear lord i'm stupid sometime.
whatever. my body felt really worn, but i'll replenish it soon. i just can't seem to fall asleep before 11 nowadays, and yesterday, i picked up this book that i've been trying to avoid reading before i finish my other book("zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance", which is awesome! but its not really a novel, its a chataqua, which is like a talk, and a lot of it is philosophy, and pondering, so its a little hard to get through) and i had much difficulty putting it down. its called "another roadside attraction" adn its by tom robbins, who has to be one of the most amazing writers i've ever read(although i'm reading james joyce right now and he's pretty incredible as well). just the way he interprets everything is mind-blowing. hehe, i feel my vocabulary slowly diminish when i talk about him. he's simply fantastic!
it also took me a while to fall asleep because i was all pumped up from the girls varsity soccer game against North Kingston(go eagles go!) which we lost sadly, but since they're major rivals of ours it was a wicked intense game! oh my god! i could never EVER play soccer. throughout the whole first half, i was talking to alex(we didn't see anybody else there that we knew until half time, when we hung out with malay, ali tarnoff, rachel salloway, bonnie, devin(yayyy devin! hehe), and matt) and we were imagining it was us out there on the field, and what it would be like. haha, it was pretty funny. we'd be like "hey, wait, where are you going with that ball? i was just about to kick it! oh man..." yeah, it was very sad. but i must say, i have such an enormous respect for athletes! i just don't know how they do it.
and today...oh yes! well, i suppose that my classes weren't too memorable bu-uuut
i am so so so so so so SOOOO excited! because we're finally getting the Caesar Regit Collegium put into action! yay! and i feel really good about myself, because mrs.brock is so happy about it, and i'm one of organizers, and as you know, it feels terrific when your plans get put into action! Plus, since we're not an official club yet(alex wants us to be, so we can put it on our college resumes, but i don't think that yume or malay or kara care, i think we still can even if its not official), we don't need to have a constitution and we can just do what we want.
plus, my fellow presidents and myself have such fantastic ideas! we want to start a tutoring progran, for people who are struggling in latin 1 and 2 or even 3-4, and make roman food, have toga parties(literally!), sing latin songs, arianna wants to do preparation before the national latin exam in march which sounds good, just all that jazz. its gonna be the bombdiggety! and the best part of all is that there's a really big interest in it. i've announced it to only two latin classes so far and 17 were interested in my class, and 13 were interested in G period.
i also tried to think of a topic for my research paper. i think i'm going to do something that has to do with Gandhi. i feel like other people might do something along those lines as well, but i have some very interesting thesis ideas(mabye how ahimsa influenced British history, other stuff i can't quite articulate...), and i've always loved Gandhi and everything he stood(and still stands!) for, so i want to learn as much as i can about him.
"Gandhi was inevitable. If humanity is to progress, Gandhi is inescapable. He lived, thought, and acted, inspired by the vision of humanity evolving toward a world of peace and harmony. We may ignore Gandhi at our own risk." -Dr. Martin Luter Kind, Jr.
Now if that doesn't say it, i'm not sure what does!!! :)
What a lovely night!
