From time to time Rose had contact with impresarios in commerce or the mines who had business with her brother Jeremy, but those men were after the family names and coats of arms of the oligarchy. It was not likely they would be taken with Eliza because there was little in her physical appearance to spark passion: she was small and slender and did not have the milky-white skin or the opulent bust and hips so much in vogue. It was only when you looked at her a second time that you discovered her quiet beauty, her grace, and the intensity in her eyes; she looked like one of the porcelain dolls Captain John Sommers brought from China.–excerpt from “Daughter of Fortune” by Isabel Allende

The Scientist - Coldplay
Come up to meet you,
Tell you I’m sorry,
You don’t know how lovely you are.
I had to find you,
Tell you I need you,
Tell you I set you apart.
Tell me your secrets,
And nurse me your questions,
Oh, let’s go back to the start.
Runnin’ in circles,
Comin’ up tails,
Heads are a silence apart.
Nobody said it was easy,
It’s such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be this hard.
Oh, take me back to the start.
I was just guessing,
At numbers and figures,
Pulling your puzzles apart.
Questions of science,
Science and progress,
Do not speak as loud as my heart.
Tell me you love me,
Come back and haunt me,
Oh, when I rush to the start.
Runnin’ in circles,
Chasin’ tails,
Comin’ back as we are.
Nobody said it was easy,
Oh, it’s such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be so hard.
I’m goin’ back to the start.
Music Banquet Pics
…mmm…music banquet was a lot of fun. It did feel kinda weird though, being the oldest. I’m so used to having older people to look up to, and it’s hard to imagine anyone actually looking up to me. I don’t feel look-up-able. Maybe it’s cuz I’m short.
Okay, I don’t think I truly hate high school. (I just say that a lot cuz I’m frustrated) Yeah, I want a break!! Though I’ve been so lazy lately, there shouldn’t be reason for me to be tired. Yup, and university’s not going to be any easier, so I’ve been told. Yes mom, I’m dead next year when it comes to math.
You know what I wish I could do?
I wish I could understand.
I wish I didn’t feel so stupid.
I wish I wasn’t so stupid.
I wish I didn’t have to try so hard and still fail.
Calculus test tomorrow. The last one.
What’s the point anyways?
My problems aren’t that big I think. I just make them out to be that way..There’s always something to whine about. There’s always something to be glad about.
So yeah..I almost fell asleep walking home today. That was quite cool…I should try that again sometime. 
Slept at 4 doing a music history essay. I think that’s the latest I’ve stayed up doing work. hm…don’t think I’ve pulled an all-nighter. Maybe I just don’t care enough about school to sacrifice all my sleepy time.
Yup..been having crappy thoughts lately. Just being more sarcastic and judgemental than usual? I can’t really explain why I’m having these thoughts…but I think I haven’t even bothered to stop myself from thinking them, which isn’t good.
I need a break. I feel so out of touch…
