I'M ALIVE

Yes I know, what a useless post. Yes, I'm still time-restrained and too unmotivated to write.

Bad news:
I may discontinue TKA recaps after episode 10! I am definitely going to force myself to finish recapping up to ep 10, but I think I'm losing interest in this drama (like WHAATTT? ITS JOE AND ARIEL HOW COULD YOU DO THIS ALYSSA!!!). I don't know, as I've said before, it's one of those dramas without a plot, and the only thing that's really carrying it is the romance between the two main leads. And when you get used to that, well...
Yeah and I also want to expand my watchings. Usually on the weekends I really feel like watching dramas but I've been avoiding them lately because 1) it distracts me from homework and learning, and I'm already pretty distracted 2) The Voice and Masterchef Junior have started and I seriously don't want to start any new shows (even though I know there's a ton of good American/Asian TV shows that I'm missing out on) because I know it'll distract me in eternity 3) I know it'll take me forever to watch if I start watching because I'm not one of those people who can watch 10 min of a drama that I like and then put it down for a week. NO. I must finish the whole episode in one seating! Or two. Or three.

So yup, I haven't watched one this week. I wish that some amazing Taiwanese drama would just come out like RIGHT NOW. Ugh, why doesn't Ethan Ruan make Taiwanese dramas anymore? All he's done for his last couple of gigs was trim his hair super short and filmed some military movies (yay ._.). COME BACK TO DRAMA SHOWBIZ BABY

School:

Whenever I hear someone talking, it's about school. WHAT IS SO INTERESTING ABOUT SCHOOL? Come on, shouldn't friendship go deeper than that? Okay well whatever now I will be a hypocrite and talk about school.

Books:
GUESS WHAT I've actually had barely any time to read any new books :O. In class we read Lord of the Flies, and our Lit teacher makes us write (A LOT) so I've been spending SO MUCH TIME trying to write good analyses of the Lord of the Flies. Ugh. It was tough cuz I'm so slow at writing and since I know it always takes me forever, I try to put it last on my list. So I end up writing my butt off from 7:00-12:30pm reading and writing and trying to make sense and editing my work. It's tough ._. I've always wanted an analytical teacher, but this is sort of killing me. Thank goodness we're starting a new book, otherwise I think I would've died. The problem is that we weren't allowed to write about anything we discussed in class or wrote about before. And we pretty much have discussion everyday, so there's not much that I can think of that's new, makes sense, AND is analytical. The essay was the hardest part; not only had we spent 4 or so weeks discussing the whole book (which meant we covered pretty much everything), but we had written like 8-ish papers on it already. So basically it's just hard to be original in class. Yup.

But overall, Lord of the Flies is sort of creepy. Don't read it at night; especially the last few chapters. It's not a horror book, but it just gives you an edgy, uncomfortable feeling that the beast is lurking in the corner...

I shall not summarize it because I am DONE with this book. NO MORE.

Also I am reading Thirteen Reasons Why (progress is slow), which is a book about a girl who records thirteen reasons why she killed herself (thirteen people responsible for her death). I think it's fine so far...it's not amazing, but it gives you a good view on how you never know what kind of consequences your loose actions lead to.

I decided to join Duo Interp with Urmila, so that means we have to choose a book to interp about! I don't even think I'm a good actor or a voicer, so I'm kinda nervous ._.


THE VOICE SEASON FIVE IS GREAT SO FAR
XTINA HAS A GREAT TEAM OF GREAT SINGERS
even though usually I always stick by my man Adam, this year I gotta hand it over to the female. Xtina knows what's up and she knows how to get the good singers to her team!

I'm having a bad day guys ._. I've lost my house keys (they're still lost in like school or somewhere help :'( ), my PE clothes (I swear I put them in my backpack, and they weren't in my locker when I checked ._.), and my sweater (it's cold inside ._.)

FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS EXCEPT THE KEY THING BECAUSE UGH NOW WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE LOCK BECAUSE OF MY STUPIDITY

I'm not mad so let's ignore the caps lock.

This is a dum dum post.

You know what I always feel like I don't know the people in my class that well, or the people at Lynbrook. There are so many choices of classes, and I feel like since I am taking a certain set of classes, the same people will always end up in my classes. Someone mentioned it in Aletheia the other day...and I have found it to be true. There's a whole other group of people that I haven't had the opportunity to experience life and classes with simply because of the levels or electives we're taking. How sad. Oh well. Here's to another boring year (cheers! :) )
