Quick Update

Hey everyone, I’m doing some assessment tasks at school right now & I unfortunately haven’t got great time management skills which is why I have been abandoning Rabidish.

Whenever I get a break I’ll blog properly & return all your lovely comments.

Internetless

The past 5 days have felt strange to me. I’ve had to find things to amuse myself with because I had no internet. My Dad had to take his laptop overseas with him. My Dad’s desktop computer is having internet problems & the IT guys are still trying to fix the problem. My Mum’s computer did have an internet connection that was working but we had already used up 95% of the broadband limit & it was 5 days until the limit reset. This happened on the first week of the school holidays. Great timing huh?

I tried to occupy myself with movies but that didn’t last long because I couldn’t sit there watching movie after movie. I then turned to a great new TV show, Community but I only had 5 episodes on the computer & got through them all in one day. I tried watching Gossip Girl Season 1 again but it reminded me too much of the bitchiness at school. I own seasons 1-7 of Scrubs but I wasn’t in the mood for cheesy humour.

I tried playing on the XBOX 360 because my brother & I recently bought a new game, Shaun White Snowboarding. I had to stay away from the XBOX 360 after playing that game as it made me dizzy. I had already finished LEGO Batman & LEGO Indiana Jones so there was nothing else I could play on the XBOX 360. I would have played COD (Call Of Duty) 4 but my Mum hates it when I play violent games. :/

My mobile & iPod didn’t entertain me for long so what else could I turn to? Well I was in the middle of reading The Dead of the Night by John Marsden, the second book in the Tomorrow series so I finished off that book in 3 days which is very unusual sight.

Usually I take 4 weeks to 2 months to read a 200-300 page book. I’m not a real big fan of reading & the only time I usually read is in Roll Call, at school. Now days I’m finishing books within 2 weeks because I’m making time for reading which I’m enjoying.

I think I started becoming more eager to read after reading Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen. I loved the book & got through it within a week. Since then I’ve had a list of books that I’d like to read which include: The Tomorrow Series by John Marsden, Beastly by Alex Flinn & the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling. Yes, it’s true, I have never read Harry Potter before. :O I’ve only watched the movies & I’m finally making the effort to read the books.

Well there’s a week left of my school holidays & hopefully I’ll be going out more & have more stories to tell you.

1. What are your favourite books?
2. How do you amuse yourself when you have no internet access?
