I'm aaaaalmost done with school now. After the rest tomorrow, I'm 100% free. And then I have the Cambridge Proficiency Exam on the 12th (which I hope you'll keep your fingers crossed about, non? - For those who don't know what the CPE is, it's a comprehension certificate that shows how much English you know and Proficiency is the most difficult. Having this certificate makes it possible for me to study my university years abroad). Keep your fingers crossed non?

Happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] szmanda_fever! :D

I turned all my books today - well, except my Intercultural Communications book since I have a test tomorrow and I need to study. It feels so great that I have no missing books! :D It spares me from the pain of having to pay the school because of the missing books. Speaking of returning books, I will go to the library now after I've written this and return my Darfur books which I used for my International Relations essay. I'm also going to spend some time looking through their collection of books to see if I can't find anything interesting to read during my summer holiday.

So far I just have: Anna Karenina, War and Peace, Les Misérables and the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I might drop War and Peace because it doesn't feel very "summer friendly" reading about the Russian Revolution or whatever era it is (I heard about 50% of it is like a history book than anything else). Books about werewolves and vampires and stuff like that is something that I really want to get my hands on but unfortunately, this is not the US and books like that are hard to come by. Which totally blows.

Maybe if I do a wishlist I could wish it for my birthday? ;) No, seriously though, I don't think I'm gonna be making a wishlist for my birthday like I've done in the past because quite frankly, I know I can't afford to return the favour.

Anyway, the other day I really felt like I wanted to order some of the Fearless books (my favourite book series EVER, quite possibly beating Harry Potter, which I ended up not fancing so much not really digging the whole Harry/Ginny bits, which became painfully... painful towards the end) I haven't read. For those who are familiar with the book series (I know there's at least one of you! :D), I'm on the book... Tears. So I haven't read that much I guess but that's because they stopped printing them in Sweden because they became "too dark" or something for the young adult section and the adult section thought it was too much of a young adult book. For those who don't know the Fearless book series, you should seriously check it out.

I officially have no idea how to work the tumbler (?)! I always end up getting the opposite effect of what I want - meaning wet clothes. *headdesk* I love being in charge of laundry. Doesn't at all put any kind of pressure on me that if I screw up, I'll have two sisters who will be very pissed because they'll be clothes-less... Oh the joyous day when my mother returns...

I'm in such a Veronica Mars mood that I'm thinking about rewatching season one, although I probably won't until I've read through The Golden Compass (aka. Nothern Lights).

Also, as much as I adore the English language (I'm an English junkie), I'm not so sure I'm looking forward to English class, which is incredibly weird. I probably just really need this break that's coming up. At least I have French tomorrow, which I'm oddly looking forward to.

Reading Schedule:
Pre-break reading: The Golden Compass
Break reading: Atonement
If-there's-more-time-during-break reading: The Golden Compass

Also I'm thinking about rereading the Fearless series by Francine Pascal. I remember being such a huge fan a couple of years ago. Gaia is like Veronica Mars, totally kick-ass. *sigh* Such a wonderful series of books. Need. to. buy. more. I think I've read up to 13 but... for some reason some of my books aren't where they're supposed to be, now I notice. Oh woe.

Edit: Are there any extra material on the season one DVD of Veronica Mars? If so, what? :P Commentaries? Interviews?
