The Republic of Pemberley
15 days left
So today was not too bad for being the first day back since Spring Break. A little long and tiresome but nonetheless Ok. Anyway, during film studies this morning (it's an online class so I take it in the computer lab, on a computer) I was searching the web for Mansfield Park text online. Then I found it, read a wonderful chapter of Jane Austen's masterpiece, and decided to explore the website I was on. It turns out, this website ( www.pemberley.com ) is a website dedicated to none other than Austenites (lovers of Jane Austen). It contains online books for her 6 major works, discussions for them, FAQ's about her works, film adaptations, and many more glorious Jane Austen related things. It's a website dedicated to Jane Austen fans! How much better does it get?? It's very interesting and you should all go there because I know you love Jane Austen like me...

A Really, Really Random Post
16 days left.
I've decided to put a count down every day on my blog. Until what, you may wonder, I am not saying at the moment.
So today was pretty boring. I went to church, learned about very important things, and came home.
I read Mansfield Park for a while and I really do not like Henry Crawford. It is blatantly obvious that Fanny does NOT love him but loves Edmund instead. Henry decides to pursue Fanny still but he just agitates her and makes her uncomfortable. She just wants him to go away! But he won't. Then Edmund-who is such a typical guy when it comes to love-thinks he really likes Mary Crawford and wants to marry her. I don't know why he wants to especially when Mary just criticizes him, his wanted future, and his choice of profession. He's just so blind to Fanny and it bugs me. Fanny, in all of her natural and genuine goodness of heart, doesn't say anything to Edmund to bring him to his senses but instead wishes for his happiness. UGH!! However, I like Fanny and greatly esteem her for feeling this way. Some literary characters would rather die then live without their loved ones which I think is simply stupid. Fanny however sees that life continues and will go on, even if she can't be with Edmund. I love Fanny Price!
So we're watching/keeping a very pathetic dog. She's not house trained, she couldn't go up steps, and she had difficulty walking. Pathetic, I KNOW. So we've been walking her and training her and she's been making some process. She still has occasionally accidents on our floors but the amount of them have greatly declined. Today, I took her for a walk around the block. Regularly this walk would take a human 8-10 minutes to walk around it and come back home but with Cotton Candy (yes, I know, a pathetic name for a pathetic dog) it takes double. She walks slowly and you have to drag her for the first little while. Today was a landmark day for her however. C.C. (what I prefer to call her because Cotton Candy is just a retarded name for a peppered shitzu) ran down the street. Usually when she runs (or tries to run in her case) you can still walk with her. However, I actually had to jog to keep up with her. Yes, I know, AMAZING. She's acting more and more like a dog every day, I swear.
