The weather forcast falls short of what re weather actually is. I was told it was going to snow, and quite heavilly at that.
But guess what? As usual it hardly snowed, and when it did snow tonight when the snow was actually forecasted, it snowed for about an hour maximum.
But on a happier side note. I've started reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows again, more in preparation of the release of the film later on this year! Yay, I can't wait! I also can't wait for The Hobbit to come out too, that's coming out next year though. I can't seem to fathom why Peter Jackson isn't directing it though, at least he wasn't last time I checked...

Snow
Snow seems to be a large topic on the British front at the moment. And guess what? We've been forcasted more. Not that I'm complaining really. It's just the math lessons I'm missing, we're behind as it is and we can't afford to miss many more. But he said we'd have to probably come in after school now and catch up that way, and we should be okay then. Or so he says.
It's not that I don't like the snow. I love the snow. I'm sick of the ice. I'm a klutz as it is, let alone adding snow to the matter.
But yeah, the latest is that the snow is now going to last for a few more days than originally intended and the freezing weather isn't over yet.

Comparing books.
Comparing books is something I do and don't get. I get why some comparisons are made between books, but I find that some can be really strange.
One example of the strange ones would be comparing Harry Potter to Twilight. They have nothing in common, so why compare them. Harry Potter actually has a story, it creates its own world. Where Meyer can't write to save her life. It's just that simple. But I just don't get the idea behind this one at all. Harry Potter and Twilight have two completely different plot lines, two completely different stories. I just don't get it, is all.
Getting back on the HP band wagon here, I can see why some parts, elements of the books will be compared to those in Lord of the Rings. Like Gollum and Dobby and all that. But really, they too are two completely different books. Each author as a different way of depicting things, so there really is no point in comparing. Sure, there are going to be some similarities between the two, there are going to be a lot of similarities between a lot of books. You can't expect a book to be truly on it's own these days. To be out of comparison. At least one person in the world is going to find a way to compare one book to the other even if it has nothing to do with the other. I guess its just how life is going to go these days.
But yeah, that's just my opinion though. I can see it sometimes, but some comparisons are pointless. But I'm going to leave it there. I'm not going to bother with it anymore.

I think I might
Start taking my project books into school. My own writing ones. So I can maybe get some writing done in my free lessons.
Just a quick thought.

Homework
One of the things I spend most of my time doing is homework. I don't really have a problem with homework other than it takes so much time!
I get the whole point of doing homework, to increase knowledge and all that kind of stuff. But does it have to take over my life as well? I mean, I get enough work in school for the six hours that I'm there, I don't want to be doing homework every hour of everyday...you know what I mean? I want to have a break sometimes too. I even do homework through the holidays. Though I'm praying that I won't get any this summer. I don't think I can get any, after finishing AS's we don't start our new course until the beginning of the next school year. So I get a break then, but then there's easter, where I'll be revising as well for my exams at the end of the school year.
I guess there's no use in complaining about petty stuff like that. The faster I do it, the less I have to do, right?
Gosh, this is a short post in comparison to some these days. It's late and I don't really have time to be posting at the moment. So it was just a quick update.

Have you ever wondered?
How many blog ideas come to you after posting. I want to keep my other blog as a once a day thing, so it seems pretty neat, and I want to use this blog for any other idea that come to me after posting my daily blog. Which usually means that they'll be short. Pointless. And random. Random is one of the main points.
I don't know what gets into me. Twitters 140 character limit just doesn't seem to do it for me. I like to post properly. Full. Sentences that actually make sense. Even if that one just didn't
You get what I mean. I like to be writing all the time.

Writing
Writing has always been a thing for me, and I can't seem to stop at the moment. I have these ideas that are jumping at me out of nowhere and I don't know what to do with them anymore.
Writing is a career in which I want to get into so I guess it's a good thing, right?
