Feb. 23rd, 2009 03:38 pm( Academy Awards Reactions! )
The Academy Awards always makes me want to watch more movies. Well, I was already kind of in that mood, but now I'm in it moreso. I especially want to watch Paul Newman movies. The one part of the In Memoriam segment they did right was the end with those Paul Newman clips. I've kind of randomly been falling in love with him over the past few weeks after watching a few clips of him, and I have no idea why. I've only seen him in one movie (Torn Curtain), and while he was good, it's definitely one of my least favorite Hitchcock I've seen, so I'd like to see him in something good. Unfortunately I have no time to watch movies during the week. And I realized that on Friday I have to go to this German event thing after dinner, and then right after that I have a concert for Wind Ensemble, so I'll have no time to watch anything when I normally would on Friday. blah. Stupid real life ruining my fun. I'll probably try to either sneak something in during the week (like... Tuesday night, probably, since there's no TV I'll be watching, I think) or I'll have to wait until Friday after the concert.
Anyway, I'm really thrilled that last week is over. And it appears so far that it didn't go as badly as I thought. I got my German test back and I got an A, my stats lab (that I didn't think I'd do very well on) which I got a 94 on (although I still haven't gotten back last week's, which will probably be worse. I understand this week's much better, though, thankfully, and it's nearly done, so there's progress!), and, best of all, the research proposal for stats back which I got 100 on. So yay for that! On the other hand, we got our quizzes back from Differential Equations on Thursday and I got a 65. We still haven't gotten the second back, but I'd be lucky if I got over a 75. We can drop 2 quizzes, so hopefully I'll suck less on the rest of the quizzes this semester, because I really need to drop those 2. Especially the 65. =/
This week is slightly less busy than last week, but still busy. I have a stats lab due Wednesday (which is nearly done, but I still have some work to do on it), homework for RIP II tomorrow (I didn't do very well on the first one, so I need to put more effort into this one), a quiz in Differential Equations tomorrow (need to get an A because my previous two quizzes sucked), a test in RIP II on Thursday, and a test in stats on Friday. But for now I think I'll just waste time for the 20 minutes I have before Wind Ensemble and wait to do work until after dinner.
