Arka’s blog

Oh yeah, because I woke up at 7-freaking-o’ clock in the morning to hurriedly eat breakfast and go to school. Because I had to take the lovely ACT, at 8:00 AM. Did I mention that I was there for over FOUR hours doing english, math, reading, science, and writing? Ugh. And I walked in way too confident; I think it will reflect in my score. I think I did fairly well on the writing, the topic of which cannot be mentioned ever or I will be hunted down by ACT people.

After that, I went to the local library, and could barely find anything! There was no John Green, no Maureen Johnson, very little Scott Westerfeld, some random authors too. But even less contemporary literature was not visible anywhere (I checked the database). They didn’t even have Eats, Shoots, and Leaves, which I’ve been desperately seeking out. I mean, at first I bought the few books I knew I would really read a lot (Green), then I would check out books from the (limited) school library. But today I though, “It’s a public library, surely they’ll keep up to date with books.” Agh. I should probably inform them of their severe lack of good books. (But there were a lot of good books there. It’s just that those kinds of books take ages to read. I need somethig quick after The Scarlet Letter)

(By the way, I really like parenthetical phrases randomly in my writing. Not parenthetical documentation though… that’s not fun to do.)

Oh, and I was listening live on ustream to Pottercast, and actually got to take part in the game, “Are You Smarter Than John Noe.” It was really fun! And there were like 500 Ravenclaws in the room…. which was ridiculously awesome…

I suppose the language in these blog posts has improved somewhat, given that this is not actually be composed at 11:59 PM… But I’ll try to work harder on these in the future. Oh, and I’m posting this on the ning before the blog tonight.

So, DFTBEDA (which I guess I coined)
