Potatoes.

Yes, you read right. I said potatoes. What are you going to do about it?

At the moment, I am trying to ascertain the answers to four or five impossible Pre-Calculus problems from hell. She does them in class and they look easy, but NO they're not. They just sit there on the page, laughing maniacally at you, while you punch into your calculator every possible number arrangement that exists, only to come up with 26 when the answer is 367. And then you get to class and she works them out for you and you're like "oHHHHH!" (And you feel rather dumb). THEN, to make matters worse, she says, "These are so easy, why can't you get them?" And you think she is asking a rhetorical question, but then you realize that she isn't, so you mumble something until she is satisfied with whatever (small amount of) answer that actually reaches her ears. And she's like, "We'll do some more later." And you think GREAT! (While you cry silently). Anyways that's my rant on pre-calculus.

Now for more happier news. Um...Oh! I am reading a new book. Actually I have four books all lined up for me to read. I am excited. The one I'm reading now is a biography of Audrey Hepburn. It's called Enchantment The Life of Audrey Hepburn* by Donald Spoto. And for anyone who knows me, this is/should come as no surprise. I love Audrey Hepburn. She is wonderful. (Ally, we HAVE to watch Breakfast At Tiffany's one weekend. It is a must.) Anyways, I figured since I love her so much, I should read her biography. At the moment, it is boring. (And as Tori pointed out, most biographies are, but I resolve to stick with it.) And also, I haven't even gotten to the point of her birth. That might be why it is so boring; she doesn't even exist yet. (Shows how slow I read. I just don't have time, otherwise I would probably be done with it by now.)

The next book I am going to read is, the third Nancy Drew novel. I know, I know, lame. When I was younger, I tried to read the first one and did not like it. But, for some strange reason, I like them now. I have only read the first one, and the book store didn't have the second, so I went for the third. I am told you don't have to read these books in order. Which is good.........

Next is a book called Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy. I want to say the author is Ally Carter, but don't quote me on that. It's the sequel of a book about a girl who is attending a private school, but it's for spies and such. (Called I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You.) I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was cute. Not sure what the sequel is about, I guess I will have to find out. I actually do not have said book in my possession because it has yet to come out in paperback. And it's not the kind of book one would want in hardback.

And finally, whenever my parental unit gets around to retrieving the book from the office. I am going to read the ninth Stephanie Plum novel. YAY! (If you are a late reader of my blog, go to earlier posts and you can get the synopsis of these books.)

(P.S. Sorry du-Loque, I had to steal your star thing. Just for this one time. The post wouldn't look right if it was next to the wordage. Lo siento.)

Life, Interims, and Books.

Okay, first off: I don't mean to be a nag, but seriously. FIVE posts and not a single comment. I understand you're busy. I get it. I'm busy as crap, but really guys. **Promptly sings** "I'm all alone, there's no one here beside me...." or " Lonely, I am so lonely, I've got nobody of my own..." Unless you wnat me to keep singing you might want to leave a comment. (even if it's "hi." (I'd be fine with that.))

Next, today was interims. And I am happy to say that my lowest grade is a B-. Ironically, it's in my best subject. Math. (Ally shudders. ;-) )

Next, I just finished a book. I liked it. It's one of those that requires no brain/heart cells because it's an easy read and nothing bad happens to "pull the ole heart strings" (thanks to Calvin and Hobbes for supplying me with that quote). Such as, nobody dies. But, there is a romance. And anything with a romance makes me happy. Ask anyone, they'll tell you. I'm a sap for sappy romances. (yes, I just said that, can you believe it?) Anyways, it's called Lucky T and it's by Kate Brian.

She wrote another book called Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys and it is amazing. It's about a girl whose parents are part of the military and they're shipped off to Korea. Megan doesn't want to go, so she convinces her parents to let her stay in the U.S. For the next year, she lives with a family who has 7 (count 'em, SEVEN!) boys of all various ages. This book is about how she handles living with seven "brothers" (more like boyfriends). But, it's a VERY good book. I highly recommend it.

AND (for my next trick, I'll be pulling a rabbit out of a hat (just kidding).

I've started on my new Janet Evanovich book. I'm up to number 8!!! I'm excited, this one looks good. I'm on page eight and already I'm laughing my head off (okay so it's not THAT funny, but it will be. I promise!) For the next few days, people will see me walking down the hallway/street/anywhere I can squeeze time in, reading "that dam book" (as some of my friends have put it). Anyways, I'm trying to finish my homework early, so I can a.) watch my t.v. shows (WooHoo!Ugly Betty, My Name Is Earl, CSI) and b.) read my promising book. But, it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. Oh well, I'll survive. **Promptly sings** (just kidding).

Anyways, more later. Which probably means tomorrow. *wink wink, nudge nudge*

byEEE!!!

P.s. Sorry, the spacing on this post is weird. Blogger is being temperamental.
