I am still completely baffled by how pain free this school year has been so far. We had our first history test, which we were warned would be "the hardest test. Ever. Hard. Super hard. So hard you won't even know what to do with yourself. Don't be surprised if you look at it and CRY, hahaha!!" (yes, those were his exact words). I only missed two, so, uh, three cheers for me. They keep shoving more and more people into that class, though; usually there aren't any more than fifteen, but I think right now our class consists of twenty-six students. We still haven't sorted out what we are doing in fashion production, which is slightly annoying because there is a sale at Joanne's tomorrow and I was hoping to go ahead and get my fabric then.

Currently I only have one tiny dilemma, and it is unrelated to school. While perusing the entertainment section of the newspaper today, I discovered that Bruce Campbell will be at the Tampa Theatre this Thursday. Words cannot express how much I am dying to go. It's at least an hour's drive and it's also on a school night, so there is no chance of me actually getting to attend. I wish I'd never read about it so I wouldn't have anything to mope over...

I started on Master and Commander this morning. So much love! I think I may have found something to partially fill my Hornblower void. Not that I would really compare the two, as they are entirely different. Actually, I would be quite amused to read a Hornblower/Aubrey and Maturin story. I imagine Hornblower would be rather impressed by Maturin until forced to sit in on a musical evening, at which point in time his brain would promptly explode. Aubrey would probably fancy that he made quite a good impression on Hornblower, while Hornblower would secretly think that Aubrey was something of an ass (and even more secretly, he would enjoy it). Aubrey would be somebody that Bush could open up to, because Lord knows the poor man is too scared to talk to Hornblower about anything; I see Aubrey as being much more approachable, not as somebody who cuts every conversation short with a "Ha--hm." I think Bush would be both intimidated and intrigued by Maturin. And I really need to stop putting so much thought into this. My brain is a very crowded and confusing place; you are the lucky ones that I get to unload it to!

school, books, age of sail, horatio hornblower
