Entanglement

Two things that kept me annoying me these days:

1. The tutoring job will not end. This morning is the last time this term. I thought it was finally over, and i can get out of that house like a bird set free forever, though it is more like an vacation. But they would not spare me! Tomorrow i will have to visit her in her office, and the time is not very good for me; I need to go and get her voice-recorder, take it in my dorm, and record in it some English! What? You can find native speakers' records anywhere on the Internet, and as to the textbook texts, you have the cassette recorder! And then i will have to find a time when my roommates are not in, for if they are in the room, they either make loud noises or are sleeping. And after all that, i will have to send it back to her, and again, I have to consider the time. The question is, when i am in school and still having lessons, I am not FREE! And she just takes so much trouble to me!

2. And then is the 400-word speech that will never ever be finished. I am weary and fed up. I swear that after this one, i will never attend speaking contest ever again. And the best way to get rid of it is to get as far as possible in this one.

The reading thing is not going really smoothly. And i am thinking about reading all the books at hand as a way of learning the English language. That way anything more than that will be a surprise for me. That way i won't get tired of any of the books. This is important since after several days when i go home, it is inconvenient to change the books i borrowed from the library. The books at hand right now:

1). The Castle by Franz Kafka.
Half way through and temporarily suspended because I am already convinced this is a worthy book and will finish the unfinished book in summer.

2). The Fall by Albert Camus
The only book by Camus in our library.

3). The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
I have just read The Happy Prince and Other Stories, which is great. And when i started reading the first chapter of Dorian Gray, I almost want to quote the whole book unto my notebook! So I have to suspend reading and put it off to summer and relish it little by little.

4). Republic by Plato
I don't yet know whether i will read it through, but...we'll see.

And 3 more books yet to take out from the library:
1). Brave New World Revisited.
This is the only book I can find in the libary with the key words "brave new world". But are they two different books? I haven't done any reserch into it yet.
2). Art and Illusion
Time to expand my mind, scope and consciousness.
3). The Magic Mountain
I am to make an adventure to the Jinyong Library to find this book! It begin to grow interesting when I imagine that it is a little angel trapped in a dark castle, and i am going to set off, find the castle and rescue it! I am the hero...ine!
