Collision Course

Hey folks, just a quick update this time, with some random notes.

★

My second experiment in authorship, non-fiction about growing up with cerebral palsy, is available to read on the “That’s Me” webpage.

★

6th year is the reason I haven’t been posting as much as usual. As is to be expected, most of my time is spend studying, or doing homework, or filling out CAO forms. I’ve been meaning to do a couple of posts on studying and general observations on school and 6th year, but they might have to wait until after the Leaving Cert. in June.

★

Music: “Some Nights” by Fun. has been my favorite song for the last couple of months. Green Day’s trio of albums, released between September and December 2012, were disappointing for the most part, but the last one, ¡Tre!, had some catchy tunes on it.

★

Books: I read two of Dan Savage’s books recently. (The Kid and The Commitment). While his manner can be somewhat abrasive and heavy-handed, his writing is surprisingly poignant and charmingly witty. I also read Les Misérables, which was immensely hard-going, but is one of the best books I’ve ever read. Just a reminder that I keep a reading log, and that you can also find me on Laisin.

Two of my exceptionally talented friends, Bonnie and Vivienne, started hugely entertaining blogs.

★

I immensely enjoy John Green’s Crash Course history videos.

Overhead in the Newsroom is pretty funny too.
