Reading Week. Yay. Except I have orgo to study for. So many reactions to remember. And I have 3 short philosophy essays to do. Haha. By short I mean, 2 pages each, double-spaced. And my prof is like "It's actually harder to write a short essay. You have to be concise. Simple. Clear. Clean." OMG sounds like a lab report.
I think the only thing worse than reading philosophy has to be writing about it. It is unbelievably confusing and hard to get your point across. Half the time you're wondering what the guy is saying, the other half you're wondering how not to plagarize, and sometimes in between, you're wondering what you have to say to answer the essay question.
Went to the mall on Saturday. Bought 2 pairs of shoes for $50 at Bata cuz it was their end of season sale. One pair was those skateboard sneakers that are like 10x more cushion-y than running shoes, one was a pair of those Mary-Jane ballet flat type. Kinda girly, I'll admit. But I think I need to dress my age more.
Went to Chapters today. They're having a sale, so I bought 2 books for $20. It was like buying a Valentine's gift for myself. One is "Paycheck and Other Stories" by Philip Dick. It was only $5!!!! And brand new!!!!!! $5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even used books cost more. $5!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can see this will take me awhile to get over. It's totally worth it even if I don't like Philip Dick's stories. They seem to have interesting ideas, even if they plot holes big enough to jump through. Frankly, I'm curious to see what the big deal is about the guy.
The other one was The Original Sherlock Holmes Illustrated Edition for $15. Okay, that one was expensive in comparision, but it's hardcover and thick as a dictionary. Maybe reading week should end soon. Otherwise, I won't have any money left.
Other bookworm news: my 2 Christopher Pike books came just in time for reading week. Must finish reading them. So cool. And not the teeny-horror books either. I read his newest one called "Alosha" couple weeks ago. It was VERY btvs. It's about a girl who's chosen to be The One and with the help of her friends aka the "gang", close a portal separating mortals and immortals.
I remember it was a year ago they announced the cancellation of "Angel". *sniff sniff* At least I have "Lost" and "Alias" to fall back on. And there's something about watching those 2 shows that make me much less tolerant to slow-cooking TV. Like the other day, when I caught an ep of "Jack and Bobby", I couldn't stand it anymore and stopped watching after 15 mins because it felt like I'd already been watching the show for an hour. Even Matt Long wasn't good enough to keep my attention. The pace was just SO freaking slow. It's like NOTHING HAPPENS.
I know I post too many Jennifer Garner pics. But this one is too Asoiaf for you not to see:
