(no subject)
Haven’t posted in a while, but the real reason behind this is that my house had no internet connection for the past week or so.
Basically, what happened was this. On Friday, Toronto suffered from heavy and torrential rain and hail - and there was so much rain and hail that some streets flooded - for most cars on those streets, only their tops could be seen. The flooding was so severe that the drainage system was overwhelmed and part of Finch Ave. collapsed (I believe, under the weight of the water …). It actually wasn’t so bad in my area, though part of my street did flood. However, it was later discovered that our garbage can was obstructing the drain. Haha. The most damage the storm did to my house was partially flood my basement, though the damage is considered quite minor (the water barely came up to my ankle). Still, I spent Friday afternoon happily scooping water out of my basement and into my sink while watching the mud in the rainwater settle on the basement tiles and being overwhelmed by that nastiness of the smell. W00t.
All this contributes to why Lina didn’t have Internet access and currently feels rather deprived.
On the other hand, I have just realized how terrible I am at Critical Reading. Gosh, it’s driving me crazy because gosh, the questions force you to pay attention to every single, stupid detail in the excerpt. They also have these stupid, annoying questions about the implications made in the text, such as “what would the author think about so and so?” Grr, so sick of SAT.
My writing skills are so deteriorating. I need practice.
Stupid writing block. Grr. I have to make my stories sound less stuffy. Too many metaphors and literary devices.
