Escaping From Midterms...
Something I found today...thought I would try it just to distract myself from utter failure. I'm being tested on 58 Kanji tomorrow, and grammar.
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next seven sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
"Ma and Grandma didn't speak to each other for the next several days. Mostly, Grandma sat scowling in front of her soap operas and westerns or trailing after my mother with a jet spray of Glade. Once, when a Salem commercial was on, Grandma stuck her tongue out and gave the TV the raspberries. If she wanted to say something to Ma, she used me as a transmitter. "Dolores, tell the chimney stack my cousin Florence is having gallbladder problems again." Or "Dolores, tell Marilyn Monroe's best friend that the doctor says my pressure's sky-high."
None of the places where Ma filled out job applications called back."
--She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb. I'm only on page 81, but so far, so good.
Now back to studying! I am dreading tomorrow with the passion of a thousand suns, but I made a new icon today. I was screencapping while I was watching Pushing Daisies.
