School's started, and I'm reading.

School's started, and with that, studying, waking up early, and stress--generally speaking.


I've decided this year will be different.
I'm in eleventh grade on, which means things are getting pretty serious here, and either I get a move on, or things will turn out nasty.
And I don't want to repeat the year. Not even a second of my life will be wasted of school. u.u


So.
Now that I've made my "promise", I can go on talking about something more interesting.
I'm currently reading Frankenstein [Guess what? For school] and I'm really enjoying it. I already wanted to read it, and when my English teacher told me to, I was like whatever, I'm more than okay with that.
It's a really sad book.
I haven't finished it yet--I've got fifty pages left or something.
I hate how Frankenstein Junior is all alone in the world, with no one caring for him. I hope if someone like him will ever knock on my door, I'll recognize the same loneliness and need of love I now see in Frankenstein Junior and welcome him, because it's really awful to read things like that happening to a person. Being utterly alone in the world.




~~~ continued.




Last night internet connection sucked, so I'm continuing this entry now.
It's 7.35 a.m. ATM and I--
NEVERMIND.
I'm back from school now.
So this entry takes place in three different times. Cool.
So, now that I'm almost finished with Frankenstein guess what else I've started reading? Anna Karenina.
Yeah. I'm still reading YA as in-betweens, but basically this is my current-reading.
And I'm so loving it.
Although the lenght of the whole book scares me a little, what with the whole eight parts, each divided in more than thirty chapters, and what with the pdf document telling me it's more thatn 1700 pages. But still.
I'm almost done with part one.
I've just been introduced to Anna in the story, and I already love her so far.
Sure, being she's a married woman and a mother and all, she shouldn't show interest for another man, who's even younger than her from what I perceive.
And it's a little sad for Kitty. But still, I love how she and Vronsky are somehow.. I wouldn't say "attracted", more.. "inexplicably linked"? No. What I mean is, they shouldn't feel what they feel, and they should look at each other how they do-- and they know it. But still, they can't help it.
How would you call that?
Plus, and I think it's my generation's fault, when I first read of Stepan betraying his wife I was TOTALLY sure he had had sex with the governess. And instead, later, I hear Dolly say he kissed the woman.
And I was like, what the hell, and you're mad for that?
But later I pondered the situation and guessed, for their epoque and anyway generally speaking--she was right at being angry and feeling like she felt.
On the other hand I was feeling said for poor Levin, who loves Kitty so much and yet found himself refused.
Although I understand Kitty's reasons, I felt a bit of sane revenge when Vronsky started staring at Anna instead of her.
So what, I can be a bitch sometimes.


So, these were my general opinions about the book so far-- Can't wait to go on with it, and I hope it doens't get boring or whatever.




Oh, and lately I've also read Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton, which was really cool, Touch of Frost from the Mythos Academy series by Jennifer Estep, which I loved [err, loved Logan Quinn is more like it] and can't wait to read the next one of the series, Spell Bound by some poor writer whose name's too complicated for me to remember, and a few other books you can look up on my goodreads account if you care.

So, I guess I'll see you at my next entry.
Which, I promise--No, I'm not promising anything, I rather hope--will be more interesting than this.

Hello :)

My photo
This blog is part of my uni coursework in which I have to link a specific subject of interest to the general shift to digital that has affected our society in recent years. Here I am going to discuss in depth various ways in which this shift has radically changed our youth in particular, and shaped them as what is often defined as a 'digital generation'. I hope to do a decent job! Cheers
