Oh dear, it's those feelings again..

So I was sitting on my bed, reading through my Finnish history book when my Mom calls from downstairs telling me to run down immediately. I sprint down the stairs -if that's even possible- and see that on the TV they're showing a clip from the Grammy awards. I look at it more carefully and see a face that I recognize: Prince Jackson, accompanied by his sister Paris. As I stood there watching, all the feelings from that horrible 25th of June came back to me and my heart sank. As stupid as it may seem, Michael Jackson was/is more to me than a simple singer. Every time I see things that remind me of him, especially his children, I am reminded of that feeling of loss I hadn't felt before June 2009. I've never lost anybody close to me and I surprised myself that day, when I ended up in tears for hours, which turned into days. I still don't know how to explain it, I can't exactly tell for sure why it hit me so hard and why it still does. It feels like losing someone really close.

Basically, that is the highlight of my day. My reading really isn't getting anywhere, although I am close to finishing the HP book. I've been doing a bit of homework like: reading about 20 pages of that damn Finnish history book, completing a Geography project on the Three Gorges Dam in China and analyzing random bits of text from a historical Finnish novel. Apart from that bit of news, my life is pretty mediocre. We get our first "serious" report cards on Friday which have all our exam grades on them as well as grades on how we've behaved in class/homework/tests. I'm pretty excited for that, actually! Oh, yes and -6 days till Auschwitz! My friends and I have all decided to go out to town the night before, which isn't such a smart idea because we have to be ready at 4am on Sunday morning and we'll be getting back at like 1am... and not fully sober. So that really is going to be an adventure: 3 hungover girls on a plane ride to Poland at 4am on a Sunday. I'll let you know how that goes!

I'm really not used to blog anymore. I found it hard back in the summer when i actually did write almost every day until I gave up. I suppose I just don't have that much to say, or my life has really become an uneventful pile of work. This week is a VERY busy week because of the workload I have to hand in and the scavenging I'll have to do to find some time to film my Wednesday video for www.youtube.com/thesquirrelrebellion . Ah.. I keep on saying that if I don't have much time, I'll make a short one, but it always ends up being too long and there's so much cutting to do! Oh dear.. we'll see what I come up with on Wednesday, then!

Not sure I'll be writing here tomorrow, I've got tennis after school till 7pm and then I've gotta get WORKING!

Comment, squirrels!
