Entry: marble halls Saturday, January 24, 2009



I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls
with vassals and serfs at my side,
and of all who assembled within those walls
that I was the hope and the pride.
I had riches all too great to count
and a high ancestral name.
But I also dreamt which pleased me most
that you loved me still the same,
that you loved me
you loved me still the same,
that you loved me
you loved me still the same.

I dreamt that suitors sought my hand,
that knights upon bended knee
and with vows no maiden's heart could withstand,
they pledged their faith to me.
And I dreamt that one of that noble host
came forth my hand to claim.
But I also dreamt which charmed me most
that you loved me still the same
that you loved me
you loved me still the same,
that you loved me
you loved me still the same.

i finished jane eyre that day. i asked rene if my fear was correct, and thankfully it wasn't. i was too scared to read the book because i was afraid of what might happen next. but i begged her to tell me, she's the only one who's read it, and she did. i was really pleased so i finsihed reading it that day. offcourse, i know that my eyes will have horribly bad sight, now that i've spent so much time stuck to the pc screen reading books.
i emailed n, because eth thought i should. and surprisingly i got a steady stream of replies; i don't know if i'm pleased about it or not. i was thinking of just stopping; i know how addicted i get to the rush of it.
right now, eth is teaching me how to use puTTy. i have absolutely no clue what i'm doing. he's telling me to write in the box and i'm writing it.

Dusty says:

Dusty says:
you just wrote your first computer program, compiled it, and ran it

interestingly enough, i'm beginning to understand what he's telling me. i've hacked into /his/ pc, and made the pc create a program. which is so cool, he's a good teacher.
saad apologized. sort of. well, he didn't, he said to blame a third party but i suppose i'll just have to get used to his blatant cockiness which i'm sure he's learning from watching house. i have to follow my own advice, though.
i've decided to give the exams in november/october. mainly because i'm not stupid; i refuse to give exams when i don't even have the books. i refuse to fail yet again when i know i don't have to. it turns out one of the books for literature is actually a movie. dad called ms.carol, she refused to teach me because there's so little time left, so i told him i wasn't going to give the exams in may/june. so now, at the very least, i'll have tuitions for literature. and hopefully, kami bhai will send the socio book and umber the literature. hopefully.
i feel this sort of peace now; i don't have to prove myself so urgently anymore. not for the moment. i asked moe what she liked about pat and i love what she told me. it was so, not cute, more...charming. like something out of a book.
marble halls was my theme tune to jane eyre: it fits so perfectly, in a sense. the song, by the bye, is by enya. i don't know why i stopped listening to enya and enigma and massive attack and 1 giant leap, but i'm back in the zzzone. :]
