- i will make petits fours glacés at some point.
- the day before valentine's day this year, there is a math competition. i'm thinking of baking strawberry-flavoured cupcakes, decorated with homemade frosting.
- i am anxious about my sat results which i will receive on thursday.
- i quite dislike the house of the spirits.
- if i become nervous enough, my heart won't stop racing and i develop random bodily pains.
- the absence of a particular public television channel creates such a void in my life. i used to watch british sitcoms on saturday nights and masterpiece episodes on occasion. why did it go away with the new dtv converter box?
- our practice history internal assessment questions are due on thursday. i'm frightened that someone has already claimed mine.
- i wish that my eyes were green and that i could swim like a mermaid.
- borrowing joshua bell's vivaldi: the four seasons from the library is one of the best decisions that i have made in a while.
- i am a little upset at how few of my friends know who he is.
- i haven't really begun looking at colleges at all. i don't have high hopes for out-of-state ones. but the ones that have caught my attention are st john's, for its curriculum, and ursinus, for its creative writing scholarship.
- i don't know why i hadn't realised that one could major in astronomy. i am saddened that i'm really not all that good at calculus. nor am i a big science person.
- i need to find some french poetry. or some fairy tales in that language with which to distract myself before such troubling oral presentations.
- i am not sure what sat subject tests i should take. or if i should even take them at all. french and literature, perhaps?
- i must remember to not fall behind on my history vocabulary notebook while there are only two to do.
- i really cannot wait till my junior pinning next week.
- i should use that teal-coloured nail polish sitting so demurely beside my bed.
- is the light in the piazza not a beautiful title?
- the public library is depressingly void of history books, especially on canada. i want to get lost in a big university one.
- i see twinkling stars when i think about high culture. it makes me that happy.
- buying an old hardcover and library copy of fantastic beasts and where to find them for ten cents made me far too happy.
- after my oral friday, my french teacher told me that my pronunciation was "okay." but okay means different things to different people. in english, it's typically used when something's merely adequate. but i know that in hk, it's more than good. i hate having to guess what she meant. especially since i think that my pronunciation is one of the only things i'm actually fairly decent at in french.
- the left screw of my glasses repeatedly falls out. it's fustrating.
- i have an unnaturally large number of obsessions. i become nearly infatuated with almost everything that i encounter. there is just that much to love about life.
- my organisation is really just a guise. i'm a mindless mess if i don't obsessively write things down in my planner and in lists.
- i want to doodle and write inspirational things all over a stack of sticky notes and just leave them everywhere.
- honestly, i don't really like people in general. the random gossiping girls, the people who cut everyone in line. i'm an introvert, really, in that i prefer solitude and silence to most things. but then things will happen that make me like all these individual people in my life. someone who took the time to compliment me on a piece of my writing, for example. someone that i may never even have met in real life. that just gives me such a sense of joy. :)
- also, how am i supposed to reply to such a review?
- watching professor hungerford's "the american novel since 1945" lectures from open yale courses make me really look forward to college. :)
- i don't like when the title of a book is located so obviously in the text. it just seems too brazen to me, as if the author is saying, 'this is why i named it this. pay attention to this!'
