Advice to fellow students!

At school, our teacher gave us a link to this article, and I thought I would write a very short entry about it here! The text is about use of facebook while studying. "Students who use facebook while studying for exams score significantly lower grades than those who do not," according to this study. It also says that three quarters of the students who used facebook while studying didn't believe it had a negative impact on their studies. I think a lot of students all over the world can identify with this. Many are probably convinced that using facebook while studying is not a negative thing, but after reading this article it may change a few views... So, no more facebook people! :)

The Kite Runner

As i mentioned earlier, we are reading The Kite Runner in class. I really like the book so far, and I am glad we're reading it. The story is very touching and well written. It is also very credible, and I actually thought it was based on a true story at first. I think my favorite paragraph of the book so far is the very first one. When I read it for the first time, I didn't quite understand what it meant or what he was talking about. But when I read it again after reading the rest of the book, it all made sense. I think that it is a very well written paragraph; it is revealing something, but not at all too much! Here it comes:

"I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975. I remember the precise moment, crouching behind a crumbling mud wall, peeking into the alley near the frozen creek. That was a long time ago, but it's wrong what they say about the past, I've learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years."
