Loving my Life
Mar. 15th, 2020 05:27 pm Exactly what the title says. I'm just in a really good mood today-- everything feels like it's coming together, even though it really isn't. School got canceled for two weeks in an effort to delay the spread of the coronavirus (which I was mad about at first, but it makes sense, and it also means that I'll have time to catch up on work and independently study more before AP testing). I just tried a new avocado-and-scrambled-eggs recipe and am Loving It™. I also hung out with the boyfriend (which makes me sound like a boomer?) for a few hours, which was nice. It's beautiful out today-- sunny, and warm but not too warm-- and also pretty deserted, unsurprisingly. I don't really miss school yet, but I'm sure I will in another week or so.
We also started reading The Scarlet Letter in school. My teacher said it would be surprising to find out who Pearl's father was, but it seems really obvious to me and my friends. Like, he is not subtle. I'm also the only one of the people I've talked to about it who likes him (even though he is being a hypocrite). As an aside, I really love the way the author writes-- it's so fun to read? It just makes the text feel so much more multilayered, and it's really satisfying to go back through the paragraphs to look for hidden meanings or things I missed. It has more of a vibe than straight-up narrative, if that makes sense. I also love the supplemental readings we do. I feel this with all my classes to an extent, but AP Lang genuinely makes me feel like I'm a better person for having taken it, even though that probably sounds stupid (specific/relevant articles --> knowing more --> feeling more aware about the world, if that makes sense). In conclusion: I love this class.
Also, my birthday's coming up, which is weird for me because my parents are asking me about what I want and most of what I'd like is a few specific books (which I'm not going to get, since they don't like buying books, and I'd feel odd asking my friends to get me stuff). I wouldn't mind getting Life is Strange 2 either, but I wouldn't be able to play it until summer, or at least after AP testing. I'll probably ask for clothes again, to be honest.
I am really loving this avocado-and-eggs recipe. I don't know how to describe it besides that it tastes gorgeous (weird adjective, but y'know). It's the one at https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/avocado-scrambled-eggs/, but with one or two dashes of red pepper (for half the stated recipe) instead of a measured amount of black. It's awesome.
Anyway, to close this off, here are some cool songs I've been listening to:
