brokenrecordugh so I was supposed to meet with Li to work on our stats project research proposal that's due Friday at 1 PM yesterday, but at noon she calls me and is like "Can we postpone? I just woke up and my friend called me and he's visiting and I have to show him around campus but he'll leave in the afternoon. Could we meet at like 8?" And I didn't really want to meet at 8 because that kind of ruins my night, but whatever, I wanted to get as much done for this as possible since I also have a project in Differential Equations due Thursday and a German test on Friday, so I said sure. Anyway, fastforward to 8 PM, and she doesn't show up. At 9 I finally call her and her phone is off. I really don't like group projects. =/ I just don't understand why people can't be responsible. I don't feel like it's too much to ask to show up when you say you're going to. Or if you can't show up, call me and let me know so I don't just sit around waiting for an hour when I have other things I'd rather be doing.
On a slightly happier note, the Academy Awards are next Sunday! I'm very excited. I know everyone complains about them and hates how long they are and all the montages and don't think they have any value and all that, but... I don't care. I love them anyway. I just have a thing for award shows, but movie award shows most of all (even though I tend to like TV more than movies, I don't like TV award shows because the same things get awards every year and the shows that I love the most that I feel deserve nominations the most never get them. And at least with movies, if there's a movie you hate that's getting a lot of awards, it's only for one year; TV shows you hate can get nominated and win year after year, and it just gets really old). And the Academy Awards are like the pinacle of movie award shows. And yeah, most of the time their picks aren't the absolute best of the year. But most of the time I still really like most of the nominations. And whatever, it's fun. And I never understand other people's complaints because I like how long it is. Actually, each time it ends, I'm like "Oh man, now it's another whole year before the next one!" I'd almost like if they were longer. And I absolutely love the movie montages. It's fun how every year I recognize more and more of the movies in them.
Anyway, even though this week is going to be rather hellish and I'd really love it if it were Friday already, I'm probably not going to do anything to make it less hellish today. I already watched Touch of Evil earlier, and I think I'm going to watch The Apartment tonight after dinner. I have a meeting with my group in Differential Equations to work on the project (I better not be stuck with the entire write-up this time like last semester in Multivariable Calc. My group is exactly the same as last semester, though, except there's one extra guy), but that's not until 8, so I should have time to watch it before then. I guess so I feel a little less guilty about that I'll try to get some work done now before dinner. sigh. Why is it that now that I'm getting back into watching as many movies as possible, I have no time to do it? I had so much time in January, but I wasn't nearly as interested even though I was getting really bored there at the end of the month. Oh well.
