i have a serious craving to bake. i want to make chocolate covered hi hat cupcakes. and i've decided i will have to satisfy this craving before it eats me up. so i will bake on sunday, hopefully and on monday you nj kids can expect a treat [hopefully, as things never always go to plan]!

kind of want to go for openhouse tomorrow to see how the drama kids are doing. it is hard to let go, i still very much want to know what's going on and attend meetings [i hope they ARE having meetings]. yes, it is very hard to let go.

i need to bake. i am coming up with all sorts of ideas for my Dream Restaurant. being an arts cafe, obviously the items on the menu will be [albeit cheesily] named after writers and books and such. for example, Romeo and Julienne Cucumber Salad [julienne being that term for cutting something in to thin slices]. ooookay. i'm going a bit loopy. was told by Chew this morning that Pinter has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Lit. being the sloth i am i still have not read the newspapers, but i am happy about it. about time, indeed. do you know he's the only British writer A Level students study that is still alive?

on another note, had Whitby's consultation yesterday and i will miss him terribly and the english dept in nj [yes some of champagne's lessons and some of dio's gp as well] when i leave. one of the best things about my two years in jc was taking A Level lit - because of that i am able to say it was not a waste of time being in njc. BUT no matter, on to more English lessons in university. it can only get better from here on, and it's already been pretty damn good so far. i guess the biggest reason i want to go to University - as geeky as it sounds - is because i want to study so many more lit texts - want to throw ten books at me? more? YES YES YES! i want to study nearly all of shakespeare's plays, i find it sad i have only studied 3 in my many years of doing lit. and graham greene's works! and dh lawrence! all this goodness.

i know it can be read on one's own but it doesnt quite compare with having a class to discuss with and a teacher to talk to and having to write papers on them. for me, writing helps me discover so many more things about the text, which in turn is ENRICHING! and i want to double major in lit and drama because i want to learn everything about drama which i've never learnt before and i just want to LEARN AND KNOW THINGS! i don't care if people say doing a double major will kill your social life - i can't bear not learning about theatre, i don't want to forego one for the other. in fact, if allowed, i'd like to do a triple major in Film, Lit and Theatre. i know it's insanity. i haven't proven myself to be the most hardworking of people but i think if i took those majors i truly, sincerely enjoyed i wouldn't mind working hard on them at all and my attitude towards work would vastly improve. after all, i do like studying lit and i don't mind its exams so much. i enjoy them, in a weird kind of way.

exciting, exciting, exciting. and this shall be my great motivation to study - so i can do Drama and Film and Lit in University and leave behind math which is decidedly uninteresting.
