Setting Orange, Chaos 5, 3175
Happy Mungday!
Oh, snow. If I was my namesake, Queen Jadis, I'm sure I'd love it. But it sucks. I mean, it's pretty! But as terribly gorgeous as it is, it's cold and wet and COLD. It does have its benefits, most importantly being the cancellation of school. So, all that being said, let me be perfecly clear when I beseech whom it may concern: please make it snow!
All the tragic weather has been taking its toll on the teachers, though. They've all been assigning ridiculous amounts of homework. I think they know we're destined to have a day off soon. As if I want to spend my snow day inside doing homework! I plan on spending it inside reading Les Misérables and The Chronicles of Narnia. Jeez, people. Spoil a perfectly good day, why don't you just?
I've actually just recently gotten back into reading. It's not that I don't enjoy it, and I'm actually very good at it (if one can be good at reading). I just get so attached to the characters, but I read so fast. And then I miss them. Lame, I know. But when I was a kid, I went through the Anne of Green Gables series in about a month. Then I was really depressed when there weren't any more. So I didn't read at all last year. Only the stuff asssigned for English class, but just barely. I didn't finish most of the books, and I'd already read quite a few. (The Odyssey, Much Ado About Nothing, Romeo and Juliet, Of Mice and Men, and To Kill A Mockingbird. The other two, Annie John and Lord of the Flies, I had not.) But then I got some delicious reads for the holidays, and I simply couldn't resist. The Latin translation of The Little Prince, Regulus, is my favorite. It makes me cry, even in a dead language! Best quote: "Cur aenigmata semper usurpas?"
