9/2

I think I'm coming down with a cold.
I'm all stuffed up and my throat is all scratchy, etc. etc.

Today nothing especially exciting happened - there were no real observations that I found worth recording for you guys, but maybe tomorrow something exciting will happen.

I love the rain - it's so peaceful. It's like the neighborhood encompasses the whole planet and I focus on what's going on outside. I've always wondered where birds sleep when it rains - do they sleep in bushes or nestled up against trees? Where do all the animals go? Do they do what they normally do or do they wait, so still and patient, for it to pass before they begin again?

Do animals sleep when it rains? Do the predators choose not to hunt?

I don't know - the therapy of rain is something that I think about often.

Has anyone read The Remains of the Day? We read an excerpt in English and it looked romantic. I haven't read a good romance in a while, especially since onemanga went down and now I can't have my daily dose of sugar encrusted shoujo...Kazuo Ishiguro(?) also has another one of his novels being made into a movie right now called "Never Let Me Go". It seems like something Whit and I would go see, haha!

It's British and Sappy, what more can a girl ask for? Maybe I should look into it...*thinks*

I need to look up my vocabulary words for English tomorrow too, now that I think about it. I really am excited for English to get going - the reading list looks good, even if tone is hard to pin down. SO FRUSTRATING. I don't know how its supposed to be objective when you're deciding the tone to something - isn't it strictly an interpretation? I don't know. //orz

ANYWAY: the vocabulary list for English is AWESOME! Such cool words! I can't wait to look them up.

It's stopped raining. I hope it starts again before I go to sleep.

(Question of the Day) QOTD: What's the most pretentious thing you've seen at school so far?
