Stir Crazy
I’m beginning to go stir crazy. It’s so sunny outside but I’m trapped in doors working on essays. I wish it would warm up a bit so that I could sit in the backyard and study (if I can call the two feet of grass behind the backdoor a yard, hehe).
I was shocked. A few days ago I wore my spring coat and ballet flats, but yesterday it started to snow again. This morning when I went to school to work on a group project it was -8°C out. Brr. So much for the first day of spring!
I feel confident about the group presentation. But – the reading quiz on Monday? Haven’t started reading the book yet. The quiz is worth a measly 1% and even when I’ve studied, I still only manage to get around 5 to 7 out of 10 right. I’m contemplating just reading the first few chapters and the last few chapters and seeing what happens. I just don’t have time for it when it’s worthy basically nothing.
I loved Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos de Laclos! I finished reading it last night. Part IV of the novel was a real page-turner. Cruel Intentions, the 1999 movie, is a modern version of Liaisons so I really want to see it. We’re watching a part of the 18th-century-style movie on Thursday in class which I’m looking forward to. (Whoohoo, period costumes! I love historical romance films!)
I’m feeling anxious about this week but also not so bad about the work load. Once I get an outline for my essay I’ll be in better shape.
I stalked the cat today with my boyfriend’s camera (we traded temporarily). I hope maybe on the weekend I’ll have time toupload the photos. Izzy is such a cute kitty.

I always wanted to read that book! You are so lucky! I have seen this movie Dangerous Liasions featurning Keanu Reeves I think.. it looked quite historical from costumes though. And I have seen cruel intentions as well. I’m a big fan of these movies. Weather is crazy over there eh? Over here too, but India is a place where there’s never too cold. I mean our cold is too cold to us, but it doesn’t regularly snow, many years it doesn’t snow at all where I live – Delhi. The name Izzy for a kitty is quite cool! :)

Thanks for the link, Pange. :3 It’s odd having a public blog again since I was so overly paranoid about having public info available, but I kind of missed working with wordpress so here I am!
