Begin Ritual “cleaning of the bedroom before test” activity!
76 years ago
by Erin
This always seems to happen to me. I’ll be in my room, preparing to study for a test, when all of a sudden it dawns on my that wow! My room! It is really messy and cluttered! Then I conclude, I cannot think in this environment! I must clean before I can begin.
… Five (or you know, two) hours later I finish cleaning and then am too tired to study. So I put it off until the next day.
The next day, I realize that there is WAY more material here than is possible to cover in one night! So I frantically read all the while cursing myself for cleaning when clearly, that could have been put off another couple days.
So here we go! Before:

I don’t care how sappy it is, I LOVE IT! The poem is “Sonnets from the Portuguese” by Elizabeth Barret Browning.
Elizabeth Barret Browning is for lovers.
Here are some of my favorite passages (it is quite long):
Asian Dramas.

Lately I found an Asian Drama torrents site through {Dodo’s Tabs} called D-Addicts.com. They torrent Japanese, Korean, Chinese and even Hong Kong dramas, many with subtitles. It reminded me of my freshman and sophomore years in high school when I discovered an Asian cable TV channel (KSCI) that showed subtitled Japanese dramas. I was enthralled. I watched a bunch of them including “Mukashi no Otoko” (my personal favorite), “Oyaji” and “Saimin”.
So I decided to download the Korean Drama of the Month, “Thousand Years of Love” and I quickly became quite addicted to it. It’s very melodramatic (the girl cries in EVERY episode) but I thought it was VERY touching and moving. I really reccomend it. Here is the series synopsis from D-A:
More than a thousand years ago from the present time, Sung Yuri is a Baek Jae Empire princess. Unlike other princesses, she is active and skilled in the arts and in sports. When the Baek Jae Empire crumbles due to a spy (Kim Sarang), she runs away with So Ji Sup (her bodyguard), and falls in love with him in the meanwhile. The new conquerer (Kim Nam Jin) is also in love with Sung Yuri, but only receives hate in return. In a desperate attempt to win her back, Kim kills So, but Sung runs away and jumps off a cliff to kill herself. While falling, she travels more than one thousand years into the future, which is our present time of 2003. Only she remains to be who she was, and she encounters So Ji Sup to be an aimless fashion designer with a warm heart and bad temper. Although he is annoyed at Sung’s ignorance of the present world, he comes to fall in love with her again. Kim Nam Jin is the son of the Fujiwara dynasty, and once again is mysteriously attracted to Sung. Only Sung knows the past that holds all three of them together, but will things become an exact replica of the situation back then?
I haven’t decided which drama to watch next. Maybe a comedy.
