So I already kind of failed of my Lent goals of not eating junk food. When I went to Sarah's house I accidentally ate a cookie. Yes, so hopefully somehow I can make up for that.
And today was a big moment in life for me! I wrote my first in-class/handwritten essay in cursive! And I'm very proud. I think my cursive is improving greatly. Also, tomorrow is the day of the Pride and Prejudice test - which marks the end of our unit. So I'm kind of sad that it's come to an end, since I've become so fond of the story ( but more particularly the movie, I must admit ). Saturday I'm going to see the play with a group of friends, and on Monday we finish the movie, and then that officially marks the end Pride and Prejudice in high school...
This year I've learnt the power of conversation (sorry to be random). The things one says and the type of questions they ask tell a lot about who they are, along with their beliefs and actions. But I guess it's something like this that keeps the world spinning, and forms various forms of relations, and sustains the different kinds of curiosities that God allowed each of us to possess.
This year I've also learnt how selfish I am. I still remember that sermon discussing how people constanly talk about their own selves. Lately, I've been trying real hard to ask about other people, and not just focus things on my own state of affairs all the time. It's still a week in progress, and I'm trying my best to work on it. Along with selfishness, I've also learnt that not everyone thinks about things the way I might. I thought everyone would at first, because they're all so good at wearing masks all the time. But I finally discovered these masks, and realized we all value and see things differently. Just because I'm not really a sentimental person doesn't mean that everyone isn't as well. Everyone also has different annoyance and temper problems. I wish I realized this sooner. But I would try my best to keep such lessons for the rest of my life.
I'd also like to talk about my daily schedule nowadays. After school, I'll go to Sarah's house for a while, and then go home and cook some food. And while I'm waiting for that food to cook, I'll read a book (right now I'm reading C.S. Lewis' The Silver Chair) out loud in my best British accent, to practice, haha. It's a really good book (like all of C.S. Lewis' books are), and I just happened to reach the climax of the story. British literature is so awesome ~ Yahni says she likes historical fiction genres. And reading is definitely not "nerdy", though I do admit it could become quite a problem if one becomes anti-social. Reading just gives something more to talk about.
I also found another cousin on facebook! He's my age and goes to school in Virginia, but he's currently in the area for his spring break. It's just extremely cool how I can finally come into contact with another cousin of my age, but in America! And I just realized I haven't talked to my cousin Sherry from Taiwan for a while. Stupid time zones.
I want a pen pal from Britain.
And I told my mom to buy Nutella! I don't know if that could be counted as sweets or not...
