The Weekly Progress: It's All Starting to Make Sense Edition

The Weekly Progress is a type of wrap up post that happens every Sunday on The Sirenic Codex looking on the week that was.

Over the past few weeks, I've been in this terrible limbo regarding university applications. They were always on my mind, but I was too terrified to press submit. That changed a few days ago, and I happily got one early acceptance. Woohoo! I still have to write essays and stuff for three other universities, but I guess I'm not freaking out as much anymore. Baby steps.

Books Read



The first book was REALLY GOOD. That was written in all caps because Hyperbole and a Half got 5 stars from me. Unbreakable on the other hand disappointed me. I have reviews written for both, so stay tuned. 

Currently Reading


I started this series a while ago and I have little to no recollection of it. Ah well. I may as well finish it, right? 

Blog Recap

It started with my review of The Burning Sky. I was a little disappointed. 



Next, it was my turn with a trademark rambly post, The New Hotness.

In general, we had an extremely balanced week. I think we'll try to post more reviews in following weeks.

The Week That Was

Beyond university, what was cool about this week was yesterday when my mom fixed one of our broken laptops, which means I have a laptop now! It's not specifically mine, but it's mine to use because she'll take the Sony, leaving me with the Dell. I feel like I can be around the blog so much more now. This will be awesome. 

Song of the Week

Another song I really love, it's called Flute by New World Sound and Thomas Newson. It's a mix of classical and electronic sounds and it's just so catchy. Give it a try. 




Hope you guys all had a great week!

  1. Yay for your early college acceptance! ^__^ When I did mine I only applied for one university and I didn't have to do an essay. I've heard great things about Hyperbole and a Half but I'm still not sure. I still have to fix my laptop that is riddled with viruses before next semester begins. It's always nice to have a laptop around you when you want to write a post or comment on other posts. I like the flute action on your song of the week but it's not really my type of music only because I'm not into just instrumental or electronic sounds. I like words in my songs (; Have a great week!

    1. Thanks! I think a great way to see if Hyperbole and a Half is for you is to check out Allie Brosh's blog. I hope you get your laptop fixed soon! It's frustrating having to wait sometimes.

      I've recently been very into electronic music. I don't know why, but I think it's because there are so many layers and harmonies so when I listen, it's fun. But I do like lyrics too. :)

    1. Thanks! Yeah, I think so. I'm almost done one of them, and after that I'll move on to the next big one.

    1. My review will probably be pretty gushy, just because I enjoyed it so much. And thanks :)
