For all the Wheel of Time fans out there:

I have not read Book 12, Part 1 of A Memory of Light, aka The Gathering Storm (I know they ditched the idea of having one book in three parts and made it three different books but my understanding is that Jordan wanted it to be one book so if it is published in three volumes than it will always be part 1, 2, and 3 to me, under the title that Jordan had specified, being A Memory of Light. But I digress...)

The point of this whole thing is DON'T GIVE ME SPOILERS. PLEASE.

I passed the book on the shelf today at a bookstore (twice!) and had to force myself to keep walking. I am determine to finish my second read through of the series first so I can remember all the wonderful characters and thus enjoy the new installment to the fullest. Therefore, it may be some time before I get the chance to read it.

Luckily, I got the change to read a good 12 hundred pages in the past 5 days or so.

Although I have heard it said that some people find the first books the most interesting I have to say that although I found the first few books amusing (and awesomely ironic) the second time around, most of the events that I have been looking forward to reading over are just appearing now (as I begin the 5th book).

Unfortunately, it might take a while (although I read about 1,200 pages in the past week or so) because school is in = I am very busy.

On a side note, college hunting went well. They said that I am looking like I will be a strong candidate for several scholarship opportunities which are REALLY appreciated. Also, I really liked the school. I could see myself going to school there.

As for not so good news, I feel pretty terribly right now. I think I might be suffering from a relapse of mono (and my mom thinks so too). urgh. soooo sleepy............

I'm going college hunting in a few days and I was planning to take a sample of some of the art work that I've done.

Any opinions on what prints of what pieces I should bring along?

I was thinking maybe these ones:

Elemental Contest Entry [link]
Chemistry Dragon [link]
Golden Lily, White Boar [link]

And maybe a few other ones.

If anyone has any suggestions on what I should/should not bring or opinions on what pieces are my best, I would be glad to hear them.


On a side note, FALL BREAK IS FINALLY HERE! YEAH! A WEEK WITHOUT SCHOOL! I'm really excited, if you couldn't already tell.

I got an F on the test today...









I'm kind of surprised but not really. I knew I did bad as soon as I finished the test. I had just hoped to get at least a D on it.

I got my braces off today.
I ate an apple. Not sliced. And popped my chewing gum loudly and obnoxiously. It felt great.


I also got 100% on a trig test, a history test, and a history essay. And I finished my physics test corrections.


It's been a good day!


Oh, and I got a tie with the universal gravitation formula as a late b-day present.
I'm pretty happy because we just learned that formula yesterday.

I was taking a break from homework, and I was just laying on my bed thinking... and then I was asleep. Really, deeply asleep.

Anyway, I woke up and now all I want to do is go back to bed. I still feel kinda like I'm not all the way awake now so it is really hard to get homework done, meaning that it takes longer to do it = I have to stay up later working.




It's kinda weird. Until I had mono, I could never take naps. Now, I can just fall asleep without trying.
