So, um. I maybe saw Twilight this morning instead of doing math homework (which I don't understand and need to finish and understand because I'm tutoring Katie tonight) or finishing my 3-4 page reaction paper for Developmental Psych (which I absolutely have to finish because we need to do 2 more by the end of the semester and there are only 2 articles left to write on. On the plus side, I did half of it last night, which I kind of wasn't expecting of myself. On the minus side, unless I want to write the second this weekend at home, I should have finished this Sunday night so I could start on the second yesterday). And now I have an hour before German lab when I could spend time doing the aforementioned things I need to do, but instead I'm going to babble about my reaction to the movie. Twilight )

I had coffee this morning, and I try not to have too much caffeine normally, and so now I'm just really jittery. blah. Ok I should probably get work done now so I won't hate myself later for procrastinating and failing at school.

Ah man, I spent yesterday afternoon reading Twilight, and I forgot how much I enjoy it. I mean, sure it's not the most well-written book I've ever read, and it's terribly cheesy and predictable and all that. But whatever. It's just loads of fun to read. And so I ended up ordering New Moon from Amazon (Eclipse is the only one I actually already owned before I got Twilight the day before, for some reason. Breaking Dawn has been pre-ordered for like a month, though), and I'm hoping that comes within the next few days so I can read that and then Eclipse. And now I'm getting very excited for the movie, even though I'm not expecting much from it. Although it's not like the books are really high literature, so maybe it won't matter anyways.

I had an optometrist appointment yesterday, and they imaged the back of my eyes, and apparently there's a "freckle" on my left eye. I don't know if that's a literal freckle or something else that they just call a freckle, but in any case, I have to go back in two to three weeks to get a... dilation? I think that's what it's called? I've never had one before, but apparently it makes your eye really sensitive to light for several hours, and I had other stuff to do after the appointment, so I didn't want to do it right then. So that's kind of annoying. It better be nothing. I also got new glasses since mine are several years old and my optometrist was scandalized that I wear my contacts for like 15+ hours a day, and I told her that my glasses are too weak to use as anything other than back-up, so... yeah. I really like the new frames. Not going to get them until I go back for the dilation, though.

So, I'm getting my TB test on Monday along with a Meningitis vaccination (my mom was pressuring me to get one anyways and I said I would in September/October at school, but whatever, if I'm already going in, might as well get it over with and not have to worry about it anymore). sigh. My mom's happy because the doctor is taking responsibility and paying for the new test, but that does nothing for me. At least it's very close to now so it'll be over with soon, and I arranged to have the same nurse do it, since she was very good for the first one and it didn't hurt as much as needles usually do for me.

Anyways! To happier things (although things have mostly sucked the past day or so).

I don't think I mentioned this, but last week before camping and watching X Games (another thing I didn't mention, but I watched all of that coverage, and yay Bob Burnquist (my favorite skater) for gold in Big Air!) I read Twilight and New Moon. I totally didn't even know that Eclipse was coming out the following Tuesday (although I did know it was coming out sometime in August/September) but I loved them and ordered Eclipse right after I finished New Moon. It came yesterday (one of the many things that was sucking the past few days is that my copy hadn't arrived yet and Amazon was claiming it wouldn't come until Tuesday) and I read it and ah I love Edward Cullen. I mean, I did before, but yeah. He is made of awesome. And now I'm impatient for the next book since the longest I've gone between books up until now was, like, a week, but I guess if I can wait 2 years between Harry Potter books (and wasn't it longer for the 5th book? Like 3 years?), I can wait one year for Breaking Dawn. I am also ridiculously eager for Midnight Sun, more so than Breaking Dawn, but I know that wait will be longer.

But yeah, anyways. For a crappy couple of days, Eclipse and Edward Cullen made me a lot happier. I might do a more in-depth review later, but I don't really feel like it now.

I guess nothing else is going on really. Leaving on the 21st, so just trying to kill time until them. I'm really looking forward to the trip up to Minnesota. I've seen so little of the west/midwest, so it'll be really fun to drive up. Not really sure what to do until then.
