I'm feeling a bit stressed in the "Where the fuck did all this homework come from?" sort of way.

We've finished the curriculum for math and have started review.  0.o Either BC Calc is easy or Mr. Battistoni is a really good teacher. Or maybe a bit of both.

It's also not a good idea to listen to Radiohead when you're depressed. U2 is definitely a better choice.

I'm reading Shadow of the Hegemon right now, even though I have a million other things to do. I now have an unholy love for Peter Wiggin and Petra. Peter is just so cool in a brilliant, psychopathic way. Petra just kicks ass. I still miss Ender. Speaker for the Dead just isn't as appealing to me. For most of the book I was screaming "Peter, come back! I don't really care about Thailand."

I don't really like Bean. In Ender's Shadow, he seemed like some kind of freaky Marty Stu that Card changed so that he could continue the series. I don't think Card loves Ender the same way he loves Bean, which is why Ender, despite being the most brilliant doesn't come off as a Stu.

The books are freaking addictive now though. Does Peter show up for any significant amount of time in Shadow Puppets? I know Petra has Bean's babies or something, but I don't Peter's involvement.
