A last-minute-uni-student style note to Sarah<\/a>, who has officially hit the two-decade mark today. \ud83d\ude00 Zhu ni sheng ri kuai le! :star: (And psst, lemme know if you want a redesign on your blog (I’m thinking Vienna Teng. Or is that too fangirly?) I have TIME now.)<\/p>\n

I haven’t looked at my marks since yesterday, which only reported my French marks. I’m really scared to look at my chem marks. Really, really scared.<\/p>\n

I finished reading Ender’s Game<\/em> a little bit ago, and while it’s quite good, I was a bit disappointed–I suppose I’d expected something different. Maybe I’d like it more if I were actually into military strategy and stuff… I’m also reading random chunks from Ender’s Shadow<\/em>, which I like better, because Bean is a more interesting character overall.<\/p>\n

(Rest of post contains spoilers for Ender’s Game<\/i>.)

\nI think my main problem with Game<\/i> was that I had an awful time with suspension of disbelief. I just couldn’t do it. Okay, super-precocious six-year-old. Fine, I can accept that. Beats older kids at a new game on his first try. Fine. I didn’t have a problem with Ender’s intelligence. I had a problem with him seriously injuring (and as we find out later, killing) another young boy. Without weapons. I think that initial discongruity prevented me from ever really getting into the book. Not to say I didn’t stay up half the night reading it, but it was almost tiring.<\/p>\n

Ender just always… bothered me a bit. There was something too unreal about him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
