nebuliaI'll begin with something funny.
US History. 7:30.
A Girl: "Europeans. They're, like, British people, right?"
-----
US History. 7:33.
Teacher: Who is God?
Another Girl: God is...I don't know!
Teacher: Why would people come to the New world for God?
A Boy: I dunno. To see what he put there?
-------
Latin II. 1:00.
CaesarKid: I was denied smart-person camp.
Me: ... There's a reason for that.
------
Hoo boy. Yeah. School. 8 classes. 6 homework assignments, not counting the summer reading I have to finish for AP Euro.
Gah.
Fortunatley, none of them are hard--a couple get-to-know you things, one paragraph to write, a review for Latin II...and a math assignment. Gah. I'll do the math assignment tonight; I finished most of my summer reading but I'll write the essays Friday morning, after I finish the rest.
In other news...I read two books today. Along with doing most of my homework and swim team (boy, am I efficient or what?)
One was a quickie, a romance novel, Spell of the Highlander by Karen Marie Morning. I've never read any of her Highlander series, but the rest of them seemed kind of contrived and all had almost the same summary: "Random chick finds herself in a cave with a guy who knows she can break this spell she's under. Oh, and she's eight hundred years in the past."
This one has no time travel...just a guy who's been stuck in a mirror for eleven hundred years and meets this chick nowadays. Yeah, they were a tad perfect for characters, but they didn't quite cross the line into Mary Sue and Larry Stus. They had their dense moments, and they had their questioning of morality and ethics...so they weren't totally perfect.
The plus: hot smut, aand great chemistry between the two leads.
The minus: Typical romance-novel plot, though probably a bit more plot-heavy than most romance novels.
So pretty good. Lots of hot, steamy smut, that was very well-written, which made it worth its while, I guess. I guess I would recommend it if you need a quick read with some nice, good romance and a lot of sexy smut.
The other book I read? Part of my summer reading: The Communist Manifesto. Need I say more?
Swimming today: 500 time trial. I did fairly well for time trials, so it was okay. Tomorrow's the fun scrimmage met, if you will. It'll be a blast; I'm excited.
I do love the 500. Talk about one of my faovrite events. Mmmmm. I would talk more about it, but I still have math to do. So I should go.
quote of the post: "but don't wrangle with us so long as you apply, to our intended abolition of bourgeois property, the standard of your bourgeois notions of freedom, culture, law, etc." --the communist manifesto, karl marx. (i just liked the " but don't wrangle with us so long as you apply..." it rolls off the tongue.
nebulia out.
