Jan. 23rd, 2010 01:04 pm...so apparently it's been over a week since I last posted. Time passes really quickly when you're marathoning TV shows, I must say. Anyways, since my last post, I had my birthday and got 4 DVDs from my parents: Buffy Season 6, Angel Season 4, Chuck Season 2, and Dexter Season 3. So last Friday I started marathoning Chuck. Oh man, I love that show so much. ( Random Chuck Series Thoughts )
On Saturday I saw The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus with some friends. It was... not great. Not really good, even. I'd recommend it only if you're a huge fan of Heath Ledger and absolutely have to see his last film. Otherwise, it's not worth it. The acting is good, but that's about it. I'll probably post a longer review soon, along with reviews for the other movies I've seen this month. For the first 2 weeks of the month, I only saw like 2 movies, but all of a sudden I'm at 9 movies this month. I guess I've been watching a lot of movies the past few days.
Today I'm going to see A Single Man with my mom. It's my last day here; tomorrow I'm flying back to St. Paul, and classes begin on Monday. I can't believe I have class on Monday. I don't feel like I'm going back tomorrow. ugh, I still have to start packing. I was kind of dreading going back to school most of winter break because last semester was so busy and stressful and obviously being at home and being able to do what I want without having other obligations is much preferable. But I realized that if I act so negative towards it, I'm going to be miserable for at least a week before I get back into the hang of things, and that's not fun. So I'm trying to be more positive about it. I mean, for one thing, I'm way more excited about my classes this semester. The semester shouldn't be quite as stressful as the last two, and I have no 8 AM classes this time, thank god. I also don't have Wind Ensemble, which will definitely help me feel less stressed since I'll have more time to do schoolwork. I'm going to try to be on top of things this semester and go to the library for at least an hour or so a day so I will actually have time to read and watch TV and movies on the weekends or even on weeknights. I also shouldn't have as many homework assignments theoretically (definitely nothing as bad as the Discrete Math homework assignments that took over 5 hours each), so that should hopefully free up some time. And I'm taking a class with my favorite psych professor and one with my favorite German professor. I don't know, I think it should be fine. So I'll be positive and hope for the best for this semester.
