An Inspector Calls

Wow so much happens in just 72 pages. So many twists. Amazing. What a good thing that I'm looking thru e books that I've not read but are just lying collecting dust on my shelf! Started on my personal research project recently and it's getting me all excited! Hmm but I'm thinking it will take a long time. But I promise to finish it! (Hard to separate my points into paragraphs cuz I can't press e enter button:/) Tbh I'm rather nervous for my A lvl results....hope that isn't a bad omen.....and now I promise myself that this will be e last time I'll remind myself of that. Just really afraid I don't get to do my dream course.....after so many years of hard work.....really hope they see that I'm someone special who'll be able to help animals! Not that I can't do that without becoming a vet but I'm sure being one helps. Next, I've been watching Talia on youtube recently. She's really cute and inspirational:D really sad tho....but at...

Ridiculous things/ book

There are many ridiculous things that happen but ppl don't know about them cuz no one tells them. An example is a cat teaching a lioness to hunt. I realise why people think i'm sarcastic. But I'm not sarcastic in front of people. 《那一年,我的流氓班》is a great book. So funny. The title alr tells u how cool the book is. Being confined to a top sch for 4 years, i dun think anyone would know what it's really like in a so-called "gangster class". Reading this book will give u a glimpse of wat it's like. really interesting! TTFN!`

Book

I just finished a book by Madeleine L'engle called "A Ring of Endless Light". The author wrote "A Wrinkle in Time" as well! That book got the Newbery medal and now the one that I just finished got the Newbery honor. She's a fantastic writer who can make the story magical yet real at the same time. A wrinkle in time is on the more mystical end but A ring of Endless light is as real as I think it can be. It's about this girl called Vicky (short for Victoria) who can somehow communicate with dolphins. She's confused about the world since she's 15+, on the way to being an adult yet not quite. Confused because of death; people arnd her die one at a time due to accidents and now her grandpa has leukemia:( To add on to that, three boys are chasing after her. Leo the nice one but there's no spark. Zachary's the one with the sparks yet Adam keeps coming in the way. Be captured into our own world (sounds weird since we live in it...) and experience...

TIME

Wow I'm really strtin ' to like TIME a lot. It's a magazine which comes every week and most are about 52 pages long, including advertisements, so I don't have to worry about not finishing in time for the next issue. The only "boring" thing about it is that sometimes they repeat the same things but by different journalists. It's more of the world stuff and analyses things such as the recession and political stuff. Not too businessy like the Economist (and definitely not as long). Sometimes it talks about nature such as endangered species. The animal pictures are really cute. I actually realize I like reading about people so when they talk about the world's inspirational leaders I would be quite interested in the article. Besides the news articles, there are recommendations for places of interest and good reads. At the start it may be quite hard cos of the lack of background info but after a few more weeks accumulating more knowledge about the world I r...
