Oh, how I love having a study hall...:)
The best part is that my study hall teacher is also an English teacher, and thus he has a laptop cart in his room and I can finish my homework before I even get home. Isn't that hard to wrap your mind around? :D It is for me.
My goal is just to finish these before the bell rings, which is in about 30 minutes. If I have five questions, I think I'll live.
<films/books/TV shows>
I color-coded... how nerdy of me. Well, the ones in blue taught me either to be wary/cautious of the future or to learn and not-repeat the past. It's funny how two different time periods I am not currently experiencing (i.e. Panem in Katniss' world) can teach me so much. In green, I found ways that I can treat life with humor and knowledge simultaneously. Also, TFIOS gets a teal because it taught me both. :P
<songs, musicians, bands>
<visual arts, artists, n/a but video games>
Oh goodness I only did two questions, and there's 10 minutes of the bell left. Um. I guess we'll need a part three at this point..lol.
Good thing the other questions are straightforward--not too much list-making, etc. :)
losing track of time all the time,

- What aspects of technology do you love? What aspects of technology do you hate? I love the fact that it's so accessible now. Be it in mini form (tablets, phones, music players) or large form (smart-boards, TVs, desktops) it's just so handy. I also love how visual it is because I'm a visual learner - I need pictures, charts, graphics, anything. I hate however that people misuse it. If you're looking at your phone most of the time for your own benefit, that bothers me. Now if it's like, communicating with friends or taking pictures or just spending the time right, that's okay. But the things people limit themselves to (quote Lauren D.) is really irritating.
- List your favorite films, books, TV shows, songs, musicians, bands, visual arts, artists, video games. Which ones have significantly influenced your life? That's a lot to ask XD. At least I only have to list them and then make clear which ones influenced me. So here I go...
<films/books/TV shows>
- The Book Thief
- Divergent (I have not seen the movie, just to make things clear)
- Hunger Games (all 3 of them, the books at least)
- Big Bang Theory (surprisingly not about the theory that it implies)
- Phineas and Ferb :)
- Hannah Montana (lol...)
- Delirium (Lauren Oliver)
- The Fault in Our Stars (both the book and the movie :D)
- Looking for Alaska/An Abundance of Katherines
- Everything Beautiful Began After
- Speak/Catalyst/Fever 1793 (Laurie Halse Anderson)
- The Stranger
- Hamlet
- The Kite Runner (I have not seen the movie)/A Thousand Splendid Suns
- The House of the Scorpion
- Tangled
- Despicable Me (the first one more than the second)
- Monsters Inc.
- Frozen (even though it taught me a lot of things I already knew)
