Before I have forgotten to mention, I finally kept a promise I made to myself 2 years ago. I mentioned then that I want to get a hold of George Orwell’s “1984”, but I couldn’t find it anywhere so I said that would have to wait until I go to university. And a few days ago (a week, actually, I’m not very good with time intervals) I was killing time at the book store and remembered to look for it. I shouldn’t be allowed to enter a music or book store, because I always leave with at least 2 things. This time the things were the fore-mentioned “1984” and a collection of poems and short stories by Edgar Allan Poe. Yeah, well, what do you expect, I’m into these kinda stuff. I could have bought more stuff, but I managed to control myself this time. Otherwise, I would’ve got out of there with a Terry Pratchett 2011 Calendar and a very thick copy of Oscar Wilde. What stopped me was the price, of course, and the sudden spark of reality that I’ll have no place in my suitcases for so many books when it’s time to move again. Oh, and one other thing – how come my friend found 4 favourite books for only 1.99 (War and fucking Peace, that 2kg beast!), while I had to pay a little less than 20 pounds for two freaking books?! And I didn’t get a student discount! Apparently, only academic books are sold with discount, go figure. -.-
In other news, semester 2 started the other day, and I submitted my last report for semester 1, also the other day. So far things are going smoothly, which, like I said a few posts ago, means that everything is about to screw up pretty soon. But I’m not complaining. Yes, I got soaked in the rain outside today, but I’m not complaining. Everything is squishy, whatever that means. So um, that’s it for now, ta-ta!
P.S. – Oh, man, I almost forgot! Happy whatever-it-is-you’re-celebrating-today day! Whether you’re groundhogs or men who prefer other men, have a nice day! And don’t forget to use protection! Okay, bye.
