eighthphaseTen chapters into The Grapes of Wrath - that's like a third of the way through, I think. I am so not reading any more of that right now; it's got me in this weird mood and I don't like it. At least there aren't any IDs due tomorrow; maybe I can do some of the others tonight or something. Or maybe I'll just read more. I don't really know yet. There's a Girl Scout meeting and I have no idea what to expect from that, but I probably won't be in the mood to work at all.
I've noticed that I read novels for school differently than I read novels for fun. If I'm reading something because I want to, then I get into it. I pay attention; I notice things. But if I'm reading something because I have to read it, then I just read it. I recognise the words and I know what's going on, but I'm thinking about other things the entire time. Mostly I was thinking about Mao and how her character is evolving; some of the traits she's ending up with would probably be better suited for Momoko, but Momo's not the right character for it; Mao is.
I don't even know what I'm thinking any more, not right now. I think I need some human interaction or something. No, that's not right either; what I really need is some trig class. /: Nothing like boring review problems that you don't even need to bring some normality back.
