I'm sitting by my computer with a Word Document opened and with a book by myself. Not a book I would have decided to read myself, especially not when I have just started reading Clockwork Prince by the one and only Cassie Clare. The reason why I'm reading that one book is only one: school.
School work and responsibilities came knocking on my door a week ago and even if I wanted to yell at them to go away and close the door in their faces, I couldn't. Because this is not the attitude a soon-to-be UWC student should have. So I groaned and let them in. Which resulted in me, bathing in soft panic and work, even though I theoretically have more than enough time to do all that has to be done.
So yeah, the point is that I have my diploma programme of Slovene in front of me and a list of books I have to read is slowly forming in my mind. The things I'll have to do for the diploma papers are written down and they are making me scream internally because I have never, ever faced such work in my life.
Anyways, I'm half through with the first book I decided to read for diploma and I quite like it. As I said, it is not what I would have read myself but it is indeed a lot better than most of the books I had to read for school in the past 8 years. Its title is Alamut by the Slovene author Vladimir Bartol. I'm writing down stuff about the plot and characters so I won't forget it all until May when the diploma is actually taking place. And no, I'm not doing all of this too soon, you can trust me on this, I know myself and I also know that once the other subjects will start to kick-in, I'll be glad that I spent the last days of summer reading this book. Even though I'm suffering because I have to watch Clockwork Prince silently sit on my bookshelf, untouched with all of its secrets closed away from me.
Anyways. Soon I shall find out who my roommates are and in which residence I'll be living. I can't wait to know this! I hope I don't get the one residence which is 30 minutes away from the school, because, as my new friend and also co-year at UWC said for herself, I too, am a lazy piece of shit.
I'm going back to the book now.
Love always,
Zal
