I have only found one of my ISU books, Catcher in the Rye. The first 66 pages mainly consists of the main character reminiscing about his past time at his old school before he got expelled. It's a little bit dull, but I'm sticking to it because I am hoping that it will get interesting near the middle or end of the story. If not, well... that's highly unfortunate for me.
All I've really done so far is planned for when I leave next year. Things such as budgeting for residence and tuition, researching courses and programmes offered at different Universities. All that stuff that grade twelves are supposed to do. So far I have looked at Trent, Ryerson, McGill and UBC. But I really have my hopes set on Trent and have so for years. However, I found out that it's going to cost me around $20 000+ for the year (residence, tuition, supplies, transportation, ect...) Well, I better start applying for those student loans now!
So anyways, that's all that has happened in the way of school and this course. So now I'm just going to start rambling on about random things that I find fascinating.....
First of all, as you know I'm not one that is really in touch with the outside/entertainment world. But lately I have been addicted to Salad Fingers, a post-apocalyptic psychological horror Youtube series about a disturbed man and his adventures in the desolate world which he inhabits. While there are only about 8 or 9 episodes, this series always contains that unexpected and unique creep-factor that people like me love. It's a freaky, yet entertaining series which I highly suggest you all watch if you haven't already. Here is the link to the first episode of the series:

Another thing I love is Tim Burton. I find him to be a genius in his field and is a great inspiration to me. He has a wide variety of works, ranging from movies, artwork and poems. Some of his better-known pieces include Corpse Bride, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Sweeney Todd. However, doing a little bit of background research, I found some poetry he wrote. (Inspiration from Josh Chartrand)
Her skin is white cloth,
and she's all sewn apart
and she has many colored pins
sticking out of her heart.

She has many different zombies
who are deeply in her trance.
She even has a zombie
who was originally from France.

the pins stick farther in.
On another note, I found my psychology book yesterday that I lost months ago. It discusses about theories and ideas that surround the psychology world. The questions that underpin the work of the master's of psychology. It analyses issues such as how the human personality revolves around the concept of Nature/ Nurture. The "true self" (Soren Kierkegaard), the four temperaments of personality. As well as psychoanalysis (the id, ego and superego), by none other than Sigmund Freud. It's a fascinating book, especially for those interested in taking psychology in University at some point.

So for a last tidbit of intellectual insight, I found this article explaining Eugenics, the world famous theory by Sir Francis Galton. If you're a science nerd like me, you will find this fascinating.
