Todayyy. Was maths exams. Non calculator & calculator. What fun. I think I did badly. MOVING ON.

China trip talk tonight was funn. In the sense of hearing Richards' broken English again. Apparently we're not homestaying because Chinese authorities think we're going to bring swine flu to the university populace. LIKE SPENDING FIVE DAYS IN THE ( Read more... )

So. I have exams coming up.. five of them, in fact. And they managed to cram them all into three days. Wut fun. Chiara - I had business mocks on Friday, and that was interesting, to say the least. That IB regulation thing you have to hear every time is getting annoying. And I've only heard it twice. Though it's funny the way McGrath basically speed ( Read more... )

 Just to say that the classics book list is updated in all its bold glory and that the Da Vinci Code has finished downloading YAY.

I'm going to get owned in the NYSF nomination interview whateveries. Because Alex is doing it. And everyone knows that Alex is the personification of intelligence itself, and so DUH she's going to get it. Therefore, everyone else (i.e. including me), is doomed. Cheery, eh?

Maths was funny today. Saccoia spent nearly have the lesson explaining ( Read more... )

So - I was just talking to a friend on msn, and he says that English is a girly subject - e.g. Analyse why Romeo loves Juliet. And I proceeded to give him the bashing that he so duly deserves, but that did get me thinking. Why is there such a stereotype, where there are books out there like Despair (by Nabokov) and A Clockwork Orange (by Anthony ( Read more... )

So - just got back from picking my sister up at the airport.. she just came back from Scientia, in Sydney. Which kind of makes me sad, because as of a couple of days, I'm too old to go to Scientia. Like ever. (Chiara, you should know what I'm talking about. :D)

Oh - and it's so darn humid/hot/whatever up here.

Anyway. So I'm getting all these back- ( Read more... )

So - I was on FF today because I was so bored I didn't have anywhere else to go. I went on the Books board for the first time in like, ever. But I ended up finding this awesome website: www.goodreads.com. You can search for books and add them to different 'bookshelves' and you can keep track of what books you've read, want to read or are reading ( Read more... )

I made icons today!! Because I'm awesome and I didn't feel like studying for maths today. Though I did do the tiniest bit of logs. Oh, and I also watched Slumdog Millionaire this morning. It was awesome. The little boys were so cute! And so good at acting!

I'm reading Nabokov's Despair - it's actually quite entertaining.. weirdly, I'm still in the ' ( Read more... )

So.. this book is pretty thin so I finished it pretty quickly ( Read more... )

I've decided to rename it. Because this sounds cooler. And more classier.

I finished Resurrection today, while getting all these books at the library. So I'm a happy bunny. :D
I'm starting The Outsider by Albert Camus now, mainly because it's one of the thinner books I have. It's also quite coincidental - there's a unit in the IB called World ( Read more... )
