ms neale

aha LOL
well for all of you who were there this morning in the library when that lady came to talk to us, you would know what im talking about. you know...matt, andy, katrina, weetyr
forgive me if i forgot someone =)
but yeah
ms neale was saying how it's great to be able to read because it can be an escape
when you're feeling all stressed and uptight, you sit down and read. it relaxes you and it pushes most of your troubles away.
but then, they're always there waiting for you to deal with them when you're back in the real world. but the point is that you get those few minutes (hours) when you feel light and carefree; when you can escape into another world.
basically the ambassador lady for the premier's reading challenge (we were like the only year 10s among a bunch of year 8s) w as saying that reading is good for these reasons:
-opens up a whole new world (i was so tempted to start singing there)
-improves vocab/knowledge
-provides an escape
all too true, guys
tis all too true.
well last night i had a ton of hw to do because i hadn't been doing work for about 3 nights in a row...
and i HAD to finish my jodi picoult book "Harvesting the Heart" becausei wanted to know how it all ended and because it's a really addictive book
so i thought, okay i'll read for about 10 mins, then practice piano, then clarinet, then HOMEWORK!
so i sat down to read
...
but 10 mins turned into and hour
>__>
then i went OMGSH ONLY HAVE AN HOUR LEFT TIL BEDTIME!
so i prioritised and did hw first
ie. my Science of the Mind poster. which was due today. so i spent like 2 hours on that. got into bed an hour after bedtime...the reason it took so longw as beacuse i got a bit sidetracked whilst getting coloured pencils. i went on msn. BIG MISTAKE!
anyway so i finisehd that
died
then woke up this morning
and remembered music test
oh well
then
then
I REMEMBERED THAT MS GALIPO WAS GIVING US THE LESSON TO FINISH POSTERS >__>
i felt so dumb.

but yes that's my story
moral of that long-winded story:
never underestimate how good a book is. oh and don't set yourself time limits when reading. like, don't force yourself to read within a time frame. cause it kills you when you realise that 10 mins has turned into 3 hours...=)
