So this morning, while feeling extremely down, and borderline EMO! I decided to get up off my but and out of bed and take myself to the library. And brought my laptop aswell lol :P
I started walking around, and looking at books, and then sat down and started reading some books, surprisingly, I felt better afterwards. I took out all sorts of books, biographies, inspirational, and a few others :D Oh and even one on math, the subject that i hate the most. I still don't understand why we have to learn all that jargon...or as i call it nonsense in high-school, when we can't even put it to good use in "REAL WORD" as the teachers enjoy referring to it?
I mean its only until you reach college that you learn how to do math that will help you in everyday life situations. But even then its not enough, because it only teaches you the "VERY VERY VERY" Basics of what you need to do.................anyways, got abit sidetracked but no worries!!
In all i ended up taking out about 11 books in total, I'm not sure exactly where i'm going to find the time to read all of them, but i guess i'll have to make time haha!!
here are the names of the list of books in no particular order (in case you wanted to check them out :P):
1) Everyday Math Demystified (a self-teaching Guide) by Stan Gibilisco
2) The Great Crash: How the stock marker crash of 1929 plunged the world into Depression by Selwyn Parker
3) 1000 places to see before you die: a travelers life list by Patricia Schultz
4) Inside Larry & Sergey's Brain by Richard L. Brandt
5) No Guts No Glory: How Canada's Greatest CEOS Built their Empires by David Olive
6) Forbes: Great Sucess Stories: 12 tales of Victory Wrested from defeat by Alan Farnham
7) The Baglady Papers: the priceless experience of losing it all (true story) by Alexandra Penney
8) The Manley Memoirs by Beverly Manley

10) SCANDAL! :Amazing tales of scandals that shocked the world and shaped modern business
