Listening to: some jazz song
Hello blog! It's been a while. Just when I had mixed some story to write about, my aunt decided to confiscate this laptop for me and my sisters to study for the upcoming office assistant exam. It happened over the last week of march and ended on Easter. I know, it wasn't necessary for such a move, but still I was glad that she did. No, I didn't study at all during these dark days. I was able to control myself and divert my attention to other things I liked doing--drawing and reading.
So I had the time to read, yes. I wasn't even close to reading any one of our uncle's bookshelf primarily because it didn't interest me. There was this one book though that I began reading when we got here. Wish You Well by David Baldacci was a book she gave me on one of those nights that I wasn't talking at all. She confessed that she thought that I was still that girl who enjoyed sitting in one corner reading a book quietly. Right now I had managed to erase that image of me from her mind. If not at all completely, somewhat diminished. She would comment that no one could distract me from reading, every now and then when she catches me reading in the corner of the living room where the light shown. I still haven't finished reading that book though. Attention span not enough. Hahaha.
Even if my attention span wasn't that good, I still continue reading other books. I just drop one that doesn't interest me and pick up another one. It was out of curiosity that I began reading the Twilight series. My sisters were like reading and connecting to each other more. Talk about jealousy. So I had to read it, just to be in one of their conversations. I wasn't hooked though. I stopped reading when I was but 3-4 chapters away from finishing Eclipse. I just have to read something new, good thing the testing center where we took the exam had a library nearby.
My sister and I hung out in the library while another took the test. The Central Library in Sacramento was really spacious. Very impressive. Filled with books and equipped with most books I ever wanted to read. It was tiring though as you had to move from one floor to another to obtain fiction and non fiction books. Nevertheless I had fun in that library since I was able to borrow some more books. Even asked my sister to rent some books for me because I almost reached the maximum books to be rented. Hahaha. Most of the books were manga, those that aren't available online. Like Kaze Hikaru's chapter 10 to 15.
Of course, I didn't want our exceptional aunt to think that we were slacking off by reading something uninformative to her. So me and my sisters did borrow some books about English, Office Assistant works and etc. All the necessary stuff that would, in theory, help us succeed in the test. We did manage to succeed, but I was drained by the test for like 2 days. But I'll have to tell that in another post.
I really hope we get a job soon.
Still pretty confused, and being like a pig. I need to loose weight. Got to be physically, mentally, and intellectually fit.
