Other stuff

Listening to Bob Dylan... Knockin' On Heaven's Door. Turned out that ditz on The One didn't ruin it for me after all. (She sang it with a huge smile plastered on her face. I don't think she realized it was about someone knowing they were about to die.)

I want to update the student teacher situation. She's not nearly as bad as she was, I think she realized that just because we're teenagers doesn't mean we're idiots. Just thought I should let you know, it wouldn't be fair to her otherwise.

Finished Oryx And Crake this morning. It was well done, although I found the ending was quite odd... but I won't ruin that for anyone who hasn't read it. I like The Handmaid's Tale better simply to the fact that it's about an independent woman who was put in an awful situation, whereas Oryx And Crake was about a sheltered boy who was desensitized to violence at a young age through the internet. I find I can relate better to the woman... I found both very effective in making their point, though.

Anyway... I had a good week. I'm lucky we only have mid-terms in math at my school, it makes things a lot less stressful. Some of our teachers are kicking lesson plans into high gear though, as our interim report cards are coming up *cough* social class *cough* :P

On another note, I've had Rae Spoon's 'Oil Rigs' stuck in my head the past couple days. Good song. It describes the Albertan experience pretty well. I really wanted to post the lyrics here, but I couldn't find them. I'll send you to his website, anyway :)
Check it out!

And on that note, I'd better go, Gabi's coming over to hang out. See ya!
