Last First Day of School

Today is the first day of the second semester of fourth year. The last semester of my last year in college.

I can't believe it's finally here! It's like the end of road, looming in the distance. You could see it, but can't quite reach it yet. But you also know that the time will come when you get there, finally.

I know right?! I'm starting to tear up. I knew I was supposed to be excited for today but ... then BAM!

It pretty much felt like any other school day, which it is. But I don't know, I guess I kind of expected to feel different.

The day started out in a pretty memorable way though. I was early to school, and the classroom where our first period was supposed to be in was open (they usually lock the classrooms) which was lucky, 'cause then I'd get to sit while waiting for the others to get in. I was wearing my new blouse with these two cute giant pins on them and my new pair of jeans. So anyway, when people started to filter into the classroom, I noticed that they were wearing our uniforms, pristine white blouses with a white pencil skirt and stockings. So I kind of went out of the room to look at the bulletin board, 'cause I was pretty sure that it said that we could wear the uniforms of the second week of every semester. And there it was, in paper and ink stating that we wear our uniforms on the second week of the semester. Then I get a text from one of my best friends Jerleen asking where the hell I was. And I replied back, telling her the classroom. I was still in front of the bulletin board when I spotted my friend, and she was like, "What were you doing there? That's not our classroom." So I thought she was kidding, but when I looked at my class schedule I saw that she was right (we were supposed to be in 401 not 410). So she and I rushed to get my back and go to the right classroom.

When we get there though, another one of my best friends Rhea asking why we weren't in our uniforms. Then she tells us that there was an announcement on Facebook the night before that we were supposed to wear our uniforms.

Seriously, this day was like:

All I could think about how tomorrow would turn out is:

Where She Went by Gayle Forman

Aaand I'm done!

It took me longer to read this book. Kind of just like the first book, I had to put it down and take a vacation (just a day, really) from it (started reading on October 31, 2013). I'm not entirely sure why. It just didn't keep me on my toes, like it didn't make me want to keep reading. Which is kind of  a rare thing for me to feel about books. Because usually, I just have to keep going because I can't make myself put the book down because I love it so much. That wasn't the case with If I Stay and Where She Went though.

I mean, the books are absolutely beautifully written, there's no denying that. But it just ... it felt like it dragged. I kept thinking, what's the whole point of this book? Adam wants to know why Mia left, I get that. And I want to know too! Why would she cut off all ties with him? Why why why?

But he's being too much of a coward to ask (and resolves to acting like a big jerk or reaching for a smoke), and she keeps distracting him with other things like sight-seeing when they're both finally together.

Meh, I don't know. Had very mixed feelings about the book, that I couldn't really figure out what I loved and hated about it. There were some things that I both loved and hated about it ...

But what I really love for sure is the book cover (: Haha!
