Hey y'all! (Yes, back to English. I don't think I can stand all that Chinese for much longer. I will get back to that.)
It's been a weird mixture of relaxation and pressure these few days. I've been studying my ass off for Math (I'm not kidding. If Jennifer sits at her desk and does math for four hours, that means something), but at the same time, I'm slacking off. This weekend has been rather laidback, actually. I spent a good deal of time writing (I'll get to that), and I watched 17 Again with my family. I'm not going to go all fangirl here, but I will admit that Zac Efron is a lot better than I thought. In HSM, he was alright. In Hairspray, he was good. In 17 Again, he was AWESOME. I didn't realize what a good actor he is until I watched this movie. He's really getting the hang of shaking off the Disney kid idol and turning into a professional actor (I'm not saying that Disney idols are not professional actors. They are, but you know what I mean, right?). Kudos to him (:
Legend is going good, I suppose. I finally figured out the chronology of the legend, although I have to say that studying Equinoxes and Solstices kind of pissed me off, especially after doing Math. In the end I gave up on the latitude and longitude thing and just paid attention to the longest day and longest night thing. That's a lot easier to remember. I'm actually quite proud of myself for finding out about the Solstices and the Equinoxes. I found out something else: the word "zenith" means the highest peak, or culmination, of something. Astronomically, it also means the point on the astronomic map right above your head. The words samt arras is Middle Ages English for "path above the head". All this cool vocabulary came in really handy. It sure beats the names I came up with. :/
But the problem with Legend now is that it doesn't seem to be getting anywhere. I dedicated, what, four chapters to characterization? Sure, the story moved on in the process, and certain important events happened, but I just realized that all this has happened in four months...and I have another four months to go before I can finally write about the epic final battle, which will happen on the...never mind. (: But really, I think it's actually quite...empty. There's not much of a legend yet. It's mostly about the people. Going to have to work on that. Maybe I'll come up with some ancient grudge. Or something.
Oh, boy.
Good luck to me for Math and Physics. I'm screwed for Physics. Math is okay, considering all the work I've done, but everyone knows I blank out during exams. And for a subject like Math? Double blank-out.
Ah, well. Que sera sera.
Maybe I should put THAT in Legend.
WELCOME
