Misc.

Well, I have issues with Russian. Some of them stem from the fact that three-quarters of the time words sound exactly the same (that's a lie, but it's close enough - "vcegda" - always; "vchera" - yesterday; "vcherom" - in the afternoon [Horrible transliteration skills - away!]). My other problems are that 1. It is very rare that I can both spell and pronounce a word, and 2. I can't accent to save my life. This is bad, because a wrong accent is 1/2 point off. Of course, I can't really hear stress accents in English either.


I chopped about six inches of hair off - it's a lot easier to deal with now (although it's straight too, so we'll see what happens when it's curly).


I'm on the literary magazine staff, and, while many of the submissions are decent, the first one in the packet is simply terrible - it has lines like "the silvery mist pawed at my feet," and "the castle was iron-grey in its magnificence." Also, It was indescribably beautiful, yet I could not help but cry at the sight of it. That tuft would float for eternity within its confines, never realizing what it could never have....Um, yeah.







Also, I'm failing Bio.
