it's been 12 days. 12 days! procrastination gets the best of me at times. And it is not a good time when my printer is throwing temper tantrums. i.e. now D: aop
Mass swim today was fun! I forgot how great swimming could be- I haven't been swimming in ages, unless you count kayaking in obs. There were little flies all over the place- they buzz around and land on your shirt in masses. Especially on my bright green buckle shirt- somehow they didn't land on the new dark green one. They are tiny brown dots with even tinier wings, and some have developed enough to become red and have wriggly legs. When you dust them off your shirt, they fly a distance away and come back, so you have to pick them off individually and squish them, when they subsequently leave yellow slime on your shirt and fingers. But it was okay after mass swim, because they all drowned in the pool and left little fly corpses floating around. I stayed for mass aquarobics, which was relatively easy to get a representation point :D and we did a lot of splashing! The people who participate in house activities are usually house comm members, and not many non-comm people were seen. (except sec ones) :(
[pfft. I want to SLEEP. stupid printer.]
drowsiness-> lack of vocabulary-> excessive use of smilies; although I've been up later and written a more credible blog post. lousy stamina.
The Worthing Saga was very lovely and very human; more so than ender's game. It, apparently, stemmed from one of the first SF short stories that osc wrote. It is more science fiction than fantasy,but I still like it lots. It was also the only decent osc book (besides ender's game) that the school library had, besides this long series about american beginnings or something like that. The Saga explores issues of human ethics, especially in the case of Jason Worthing's, the protagonist's, mind-reading abilities. I plan to borrow xenocide from the library after school on friday to keep me alive and sane, and will probaly lend the worthing saga to charisse. This review significantly diminishes in quality compared to luna's, even though this is thicker.
