So this may or may not be my last post on Blogger, because as I assume you've all heard (well, maybe not Lalis, as the decision is being made in America), the SOPA may or may not pass. If it passes, Blogger is dead for sure. It, along with Facebook, Youtube, Reddit, Tumblr, Goodreads, and pretty much everything else. If you're living under a rock but are still somehow aware of and reading my blog, the SOPA would shut down any American website that may enable or encourage online piracy. (Also, I don't know why people are saying 'the SOPA Act', isn't that a bit redundant, 'A' standing for 'Act' and all? :P)
So, point is, I want to make this good. This post should be deep and meaningful and important...but it's my life I'm talking about, so let's be real xD Nothing especially big happened. In fact, I can just summarize my week right now: Shakespeare essay, ignoring Calc teacher because I'm cocky and assume I can pass the class anyway, Shakespeare essay, tutoring people with various degrees of brightness (I like the bright ones, for some odd reason), Shakespeare essay, trying to make time for friends, Shakespeare essay, realizing I was going to fail the Calc test, realizing I didn't take any history notes at all really for a quiz that would be on the following day, studying, Shakespeare essay, failing Calc, probably doing alright on history because history happens to follow a really predictable pattern for the most part, Shakespeare essay. That's seven days' worth of life. It was all school-related. I have no life anymore. I hate/love junior year for being like this. I really have no life at all if I'm starting to like doing school stuff. T_T
Also, I ran into an old friend and we were all like, "Oh, we should definitely hang out this weekend, we'll hit each other up on Facebook and it'll be just like before stuff happened," but then we didn't and it was mildly sad-making.
I'm reading The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe. He wasn't half as emo as we make him out to be. Especially the tales....:P
Yeah, there's really not much to say about my life. It's pretty much revolving around Shakespeare right now, in case this wasn't made clear already. I've liked Shakespeare for a while - I read Hamlet when I was like...4, which is kind of funny because nobody reads Shakespeare that early and kind of facepalmy because I didn't even speak English, so I read it in Russian and it was therefore considerably easier than the real Hamlet - but I don't think I've ever appreciated his genius to the extent I now do. Which I guess means I'm learning a lot, at the expense of my GPA. Calc too. I actually like Calc a lot, it's all sense-making, or would be if we were given an explanation for how anyone came up with derivatives...but then again, it's a high school math class, you just have to shut up and memorize, not understand :P
Yeah, I've nothing to say, really. Sorry. Maybe if Blogger survives, my next post will be better. Maybe. :/

WHAT are you talking about?!?!?! what is this SOPA called thingy you are talking about. this CANNOT be happening! and why would they shut down facebook and goodreads? what's illegal in that?? :s NOOOOOOOO *shock* i wasn't aware of this.. :o o.O please keep me posted! thanks
American entertainment companies have been complaining to Congress about online pirating, so they'll probably pass the Stop Online Piracy Act, which would shut down anything enabling or facilitating piracy/copyright infringement, like Youtube etc. :(
that SUCKS. i don't think they'll do it though... i bet even THEY download piracy things.
and lol did you know sopa in spanish means soup? hahahahah
That's what I thought at first, but it's actually really well supported by government officials because the entertainment industry is bribing the shit out of them :'(
And xD I didn't...lol ^-^
oh nooo! :S well it's still here so.. let's cross our fingers haha
LOL :D
Well, they're voting on the 1st :/
