Oct. 20th, 2008 06:21 pmOh god I'm so tired. This week has been so long.
So I went back home last Thursday and came back on Sunday. It was nice being home. I wish I could have been there for longer. I voted! That was fun. And I saw W. with my parents, which... I have absolutely no idea how I feel about. Like, it's not nearly as terrible as I thought it would be, but it's just too real and now to really judge as a movie, you know? I still think the same thing that I did when I first heard this movie was coming out: it would have made a lot more sense to wait a few years to make this movie. At least until the end of his second term. There was some really great casting. Josh Brolin was absolutely excellent, and so were the people who played Dick Cheney and George H.W. Bush. On the other hand, the woman who played Condoleeza Rice was kind of awful.
Anyways, the sucky part of the weekend was that I had to write a 5-page paper while I was there. I was supposed to get it done Wednesday afternoon, before I left, but my Research in Psych homework took all afternoon (and even then, I hadn't finished it). When I came back on Sunday, I found out that the part of the homework that had taken me forever and that I had been agonizing about wasn't due this week because we hadn't learned far enough in the book yet and I had totally forgotten he had said that. ugh. So I could have done the paper on Wednesday. Instead, I ended up writing half of it on the plane on the way back to school and the other half Sunday night/today before class.
Also, I woke up about an hour after I fell asleep last night and felt like throwing up and could not fall asleep for a ridiculously long time. I kept debating whether I should get up and go to the bathroom in case I did throw up or if I should just wait a little longer, and I ended up falling asleep in the middle of debating over that. But now I'm ridiculously tired and have a huge headache and am just generally discontent.
On the plus side, I don't have anything major until Friday (a German test, which will be easy, and the write-up for my child observation project which isn't too bad because it's not a paper, it's just answering questions, and I have so much trouble actually starting papers but just answering questions is easy, so hopefully it won't take forever for me to finish that), so I can sleep in tomorrow and catch up on TV. I am woefully behind on TV, ok. I still haven't watched last week's Heroes (which I'm going to do in a little bit). I am about 5 episodes behind on Mad Men (did it have its season finale last night?), but I think I decided I'm going to save that either for a day when I'm really bored and just want to watch TV, or for winter break. I still have last week's House, Friday Night Lights, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and last night's Brothers and Sisters and Dexter. So I'll probably catch up on all that tonight and tomorrow (plus tonight's How I Met Your Mother, Heroes, and Gossip Girl. And Prison Break? Was that on last week? Or this week? Because I think I'm also behind on that).
