Beacuse I'm Awesome

I finished commenting on three topics for A Separate Peace! Now all I have to do is wait for two people to post their own topics and then I'll be completely done with my schoolwork for the summer! There's only eight days left before everything is due, so they better hurry up. i wasn't the first one to post this time! Hannah beat me to it right when i was going to post something last night, but then i thought against it since it was midnight and i was running on a caffeine high. Some obvious advice: Don't drink iced coffee at 11 o'clock at night. It does stuff to you brain.
I got my glasses back from the doctor and had to wear them yesterday so i can get used to them while I'm driving. So I'm probably going to be wearing them in school sometimes too. i hate glasses because I can always see them and feel them on my face and it's annoying. But now when i take them off everything feels weird. Damn, I'm getting dependent on my glasses (and after four years of not wearing them, too!)

:P

The Peace is Seperate, don'tcha know?

Make that three days in a row I didn't wake up before 10:30. Gah, I have to wake up before 8 tomorrow!
Anyway, I'm finally done with A Separate Peace! I hope we didn't have to read the Connection stuff in the back because I didn't and I don't see how it really relates to the book at all. I know i can answer at least one prompt from the blog, but I'm going to wait and see if any others show up that might be easier...that and I don't want to be the first to post again. Hopefully someone else will do it first, but if not I guess I will.
*SPOILERS*
Dude, Finny died! Jeez, I wasn't really expecting that. Still say Gene is my favorite, but I don't know the exact order of everybody else...I guess it really doesn't matter. I actually like Leper before he went 'phsyco'. Poor Leper :( Again, I'm glad I read The Forgotten Soldier before this book, I think it helped me understand things better. All in all, i liked the book. It wasn't nearly as depressing as I thought it would be, though it wasn't exactly happy either...

Good Choices Mrs. C!

I have to say that Mrs. Coursen picked some pretty good books for us to read over the summer. I actually did enjoy Huckleberry Finn even though some of my classmates seriously hated it, and I'm really enjoying A Separate Peace (which i just started today).
I'm only on Chapter 6 but I really like it so far. It's deep and it makes you question people's behavior's and why they do things. Gene is probably my favorite (out of the only two characters I know so far) because I can relate to him more than Finny. At first I thought I wouldn't like this book because it sounded so overly depressing, but now it doesn't really seem that way anymore...though i hope it doesn't get super depressing later (it's American literature after all) I'm glad I read a WWII book before reading this one because I can see the stark differences between a soldier's life and a civilian's life right now, and the differences between two countries in the same war. I think I'll really like this book, or at least, i hope so!
