I Really Have Nothing to Blog About but I felt I had to Post Something...

So yeah. I'm MAD at a certain person right now. COUGHSAMANTHACOUGH. WHAT in this world is she doing reading like 5 other books when she's supposed to be reading AMND????? That is just inconceivable to me. I don't get it. SAMANTHA THIS WAS YOUR CRAZY IDEA SO YOU BETTER FOLLOW THROUGH WITH ANDREA AND I OR ELSE YOU WILL BE LAME. So there! Finish AMND so we can start on the next play. STAT!
Today is Friday. I like Fridays. They're really good days. Andrea (and for Samantha when she finishes AMND), we're reading a history next. We're reading Henry VI, part 1. OK? Sounds like fun. Shakespeare reading party, tomorrow maybe? I might call you if I remember. Tchuess.

Not So Exciting but Nonetheless, Something to Blog About

Only 13 more days left of school. (not that anyone is counting...) This summer is going to be awesome/killer. Like as in the killer killer, not the slang meaning of cool. For one, I am no longer attending Quiz Bowl Camp. It is being replaced with something so incredibly dorky that I can't even bring myself to put it on my blog. However I will say that it involves a lot of reading classic literature such as Hamlet (which I finished in like, 9 hours) and A Midsummer's Night Dream and 35 others. So yes. Now I will blog about Hamlet. I have read Romeo and Juliet and must say that I did not care for it. I mean, both title characters were so nonsensical and impulsive. (And true love at first sight is basically non-existent.) But I do confess that I kind of liked Hamlet. For one, I liked the plot better than Romeo and Juliet. Another thing I liked was the ending. Endings don't get much better than killing like four people in one scene. Ophelia, however, was just plain Weird with a capital w. I mean, she drowned because she fell into this water and was singing these loud, bawdy songs and didn't bother to realize the fact her clothes were getting saturated and she was DRoWNinG. Hamlet was a cool protagonist and I loved the fact that everyone thought he was crazy/mad. Anyway. Tomorrow is Memorial Day and I'm not doing much of anything except reading A Midsummer's Night Dream. Well, I have to go do homework. 'Til the next post, ciao.
