I was looking down my friends page on LJ and after sifting through pages and pages of entries, I can't seem to find any entries just about how/what people are doing these days.
I took a CSE quiz today. I have a B average in quizzes, and since one gets dropped, and I doubt I got higher than a B, it will probably be this one. We had the teacher evaluations today. Under suggestions I was like, lay off the mindless busy work.
Last night I had a nightmare. It was weird, because I woke up and I was sleeping boca arriba, which I almost never do. And I think I had been talking in my sleep. I had to sleep the rest of the night with my desk lamp on because after nightmares I'm afraid of the dark.
Then at 7AM Tommy started calling. Rule of thumb, don't ever call anyone before 9:30AM unless it's an emergency. No offense Tommy, it's not that I didn't want to talk to you, but 7AM just isn't an appropriate time to call someone just to talk.
I need to read a book that will shed some kind of understanding or meaning on my life, or at least the way I see things. The last book that really changed the way I look at things was the Bell Jar by Synthia Plathe. There was just something about the book that touched me, or awakened me to a feeling inside myself that had spent so much time unidentified. I read Girl, Interrupted shortly after that, and enjoyed it, but it wasn't the same. There were still, however, quotes that I really liked from that book, like the part where she talks about how after killing herself, she couldn't eat meat anymore, because to her it looked wounded and tightly bound. Then I read that book about the boy who was sexually abused by his aunt, which I didn't really like except for the quote, we accept the love we think we deserve, which for me was enough reason to have read the book. Anyhow, I have a couple hours, and I'm looking for something like that. Any suggestions? I don't want any best seller life of pi, bullshit.
