all the world's a stage...

As the end of the week, and consequently the end of my mid-semester break fast approaches, I'm happy with how I ended up spending my time. No where near did I get to my original plan of 'eat-and-breathe-studying,' but I did the least of what I had to. At least it was really relaxing. That's a good thing, right? Plus, I got all that driving practice in which was awesome. I'm enjoying myself now -- doesn't feel quite so death-defying anymore.

Good news: today I cured myself of my senioritis. I'm back to normal and hopefully it'll last till the end of the year. Now the countdown begins: seven weeks till exams. Yikes. I should probably come up with some sort of study schedule eventually to keep me on track...

I've been reading Shakespeare, surprisingly enough. The only other time was Romeo and Juliet in ninth grade English, but I could never really get into it because I knew the plot so well. Plus, I've always been at odds with how they could be willing to die for each other after only meeting like... once. Yet after my five-year Shakespeare sabbatical I thought I'd give it another go and I was right to do so - As You Like It is GREAT. Extremely funny and so sweet. But you have to read it out loud. It makes you want to start acting it out!
