A running commentary on school life at a school in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney.

Note: I'm not really awake, so these'll prove to be ramblings.
Virginia Woolf
Anyone read Mrs Dalloway? Incredible. The Hours? An impressing appropriation.
I've just finished the Hours (attempting at this very moment to write an essay concerning its main themes) and have just picked up Woolf's book, Mrs Dalloway. (I know that what I am writing might be irrelevant, but like I give a - .) Anyhow, where was I? Ah yes, discussing Mrs Dalloway. As I was just doing - going off on irrelevant threads - Virginia Woolf does so in her book - musically, but that doesn't always excuse it. It gets boring and I find that I have to reread what I read just three seconds before because of all these many irritating threads. HOWEVER, that does not mean that I'm advising you to not read it. Personally, I think every learned person should at least take a peek, see if interests them. It's... worthwhile, to an extent.
Mrs Dalloway is a story of the day in the life of an ordinary woman. She goes out to buy flowers... It is an amazing piece of literature - or that's what I think of it so far, who knows, I might want to chuck it on a bonfire along with Rasputin and Dear Nobody (NEVER EVER READ THOSE BOOKS!) - and if you are a fairly good reader, you should try it. Just... um... be in the mood for it, ok?
