New Classic Books
My sister went to the capital city last week. I asked her if she could do me an errand while she was there, since she refused to let me join her. Fortunately she obliged, and did as she was asked. So now, I have 3 news beautiful Penguin books to read and spend hours away in another world! Haha!
She could have bought me other books as well, but being extremely stingy especially when it concerned other people but herself, I received the much anticipated Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin by Mark Twain, and Grimm's Fairy Tales by the Grimm Brothers. Considering that these were Penguin books, it couldn't have costs too much to buy more of these fantastical man-made marvels, but my sister was too stingy. I am grateful for what she's done, only I hoped that there would be more. My hometown rarely have these kind of books, pity little town, so we have to buy them from the capital city. Of course, everything's there in the capital. And they leave these little towns to be idle from the wonderful things so that we will have to travel to the capital town to have them (and they'll get more money, I suppose).
I've been wanting to read these books since I knew they existed, which is a long time ago, so holding them in my hands today was causing my legs to react by running around the room in a few lapses. And this actually happened. :) I was too excited.
Next year will be my senior year, and I'm feeling absolutely nervous, and scared as well. I have to confess that I am struggling on my Chemistry and Math; two subjects that I never can get compatible with. I have tried to study really hard and open my heart, and sometimes my efforts would bear fruit, sometimes it would not. I guess you could say that my foundations on the subject are not solid, not steady, unsubstantial, but I have tried to understand it fully enough when I first learned about it, but as I expressed before, my mind seems reluctant to accept it. However, right now, I'm trying the best that I could possibly afford to master these subjects, I hope, enough for me to pass. Oh wish me so much luck and strength, because I could certainly need them.
