Updates | Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

So I have finally finished Of Mice and Men. In short, cause I don't want to write a review on this, the story was so sad at the end. :( I didn't cry or anything, but ugh I just hated the ending.

I have 7 days until school starts back up. In this time, I need to start & finish Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. And considering that book is well over 500 pages (like 648, to almost be exact) I should have started on it about two weeks ago. I also need to do the work for Of Mice And Men.

On top of that, I have volleyball practice every day for two hours a day, and I also need to get my hair done, beg, borrow or perhaps even steal for a damn phone, and get some other things for school.

Normally, I'd feel pretty overwhelmed, but it's late into the night and I don't get worked up at night, ell unless the work is due in the morning, then yes. Haha. :-)

About Myself!

So, even though I don't want to give out my real name, I still want for people to know a little bit about me.

Name: Is not Ashlind, but it does start with an A. That's why I like to sign my posts "- A."

Age: I also don't want to give out my age, but I will tell you that I am in high school.

Interests: I have many interests, I think they vary because I am a Gemini. But I'm really into beauty, writing, reading, astronomy and photography. These interests do not change.

What I would love to do: I'd love to study abroad. :D I also really want to start doing beauty videos on youtube, along with starting my own novella. I plan on graduating high school with completing AP English, AP Science and AP (I think it's) Global American Studies. And then I want to go to college for either writing or astronomy. :)

How I came up with my url: I'm currently reading the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. I've been trying to read this book all summer, and I always found the book really boring. So that's how I came up with 'ofmiceandboredom' But the book is not actually boring, anymore.

Goals for my blog: I don't have specifically any, like I'm not like "oh my god I need to get a ton of followers and have a super popular blog" but I do want to have my blog revolve around books and book reviews, beauty and fashion related posts and maybe tv and movie review. Eventually, I think I'd like to have a full domain name for this.

What I currently want: An iphone (I've gone six! months without a phone), a DSLR to further my interest in photography, and a new laptop, since mine broke over a year ago and I haven't gotten a new one since.

Reading Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.

For someone my age, this is probably the hardest book to understand, that I've ever read. I'm sitting here like

"what the fuck is this"
"what the hell did he just say"
"what is that I don't understand"


Anyways, something else that is very hard for me understand, is this damn blogger/blogspot/whatever. Now, I'm pretty tech savvy or whatever, basically I know what I'm doing 95% of the time, unless they change it. Which, obviously, they changed it. I feel like I'm sitting here like an emotionless cat (ironically, my cat has about 0 emotions) because my blog feels so dull and lifeless, and it's not from the lack of posts, it's from the lack of design.

Now, if there is anyway to put some personality into my blog, would you please help a girl out and show her the ropes of this place?
