Doing much else this week I am not. I’m trying to get Twelfth Grade Language done and over with and I was on the end Unit two(of ten) at the beginning of the week and here it is Wednesday and Unit Six was just completed today. I’m going to try to get Unit eight done tomorrow. They are very long units and it does take nearly all day to do one. As the Language Course is supposed to be done over one school year I’m actually doing 1/10 of an entire school year in one day. So that’s rather good:) I hope to have it done soon and then I’ll be concentrating on writing and getting my room cleaned up. And using a To Do list again. This week I’m not using one because I have GET LANGUAGE DONE!!! Firmly embedded in my brain to the exclusion of nearly all else. Except, of course for MAKE PRESENTS!!! At some point in the near future I’m going to be visiting my cousin Erika and when I visit somebody I like to bring them a present. Erika’s present is going to be a fantasy sort of dress. Hopefully it will look nice and fit her. Also I’m making an outfit for a foreign exchange student/friend who is staying at Erika’s house. I’ll find out whether she reads my website or not by whether she knows about her present or not.

Speaking of depressing things(or was I?) in school today I was supposed to have read Shakespeare’s Hamlet. I’m very glad Mom said I didn’t have too because what I encountered in the lesson about Hamlet was enough to seriously depress me for half an hour and I probably would have been depressed much longer only Mom baked a cake (cheerful level went way up) and I started watching some episodes of The Muppet Show and attempted to forget that Ophelia drowned herself and that Hamlet and five other main characters died tragically in the last act and the king was poisoned at the beginning by his brother who then took his throne, wife, and so forth. Anyway, I don’t like Tragedies. I knew that before I encountered Hamlet. I like things to have a happy ending. And that is why I usually write stories with a very happy ending. Though I must say, I was rather tempted this afternoon to write a tragedy. A short one of course. But I don’t think I will. Tragic as Hamlet was it was almost nothing compared to “The Golden Fleece” a book that I read a while ago and still remains in my mind as one of the most depressing books I’ve ever read. It was not a case of just a pair of hapless lovers who end up tragically, in that book there was the hero who first had a girl fall in love with him, and then he left her to die of a broken heart, and then there was a sort of mutual falling in love between him and another women but then she turned into a villainess and went away to do dark deeds while he fell in love with a sweet beautiful princess and then when the other woman came back she was so mad I think she killed the princess and either she killed the hero or he killed himself or somebody else killed him. And that was just part of the horribleness of the book.

Anyway, now that I may have depressed you I really ought to put some very humorous and light hearted story or joke or something on here to cheer you up. Unfortunately I don’t think I could write one right now and it’s my bed time anyway so I’ll just suggest that you read The Lord of the Ving or perhaps do a search on my website for Rabbits.
