I'm beginning to wonder whether there's not a limited amount of time one can spend reading epic poetry before going insane. I've basically been locked inside my apartment re-reading some very depressing poems and studying literary terms for a few days, and it's taking a toll. If I make it out of this exam period without going completely batshit, I ( Read more... )

Thank god for Fridays, right? What a week it's been. Oh university, why must you hurt me so. I am exhausted. Weekend! Wine with dinner! Falling asleep by 8pm! I'm super-excited.

( Here's a movie meme... )

I am so bored. I don't think I like sitting around on my ass all weekend. When I planned this, on Thursday while simultaneously pulling out my hair over my American lit midterm, I figured I would love it. But no. I am bored. I don't even have anything to write about in here, except to say that I watched BabelSo it was interesting. Even Brad Pitt ( Read more... )

My life is incomplete now that I've finished Arrested Development ( Read more... )

So not only did I miss my train back to Montreal (yesterday), I also didn't do any work over the break, and then began to freak out this morning because I thought my midterm, paper and presentation were all happening/due on Wednesday. Apparently I have an inability to read numbers, because I misread my train ticket (leading to the missing of my ( Read more... )

I'm so sick. Oh lord. The only reason I'm not passed out in bed right now is because I have a midterm on Monday and 200 pages of course reading to get through. I don't know how I'm going to manage. I always do.

Naturally, I've been watching movies all week instead of studying:

This Film Is Not Yet Rated - this is a completely fascinating ( Read more... )

I watched Y tu mama tambien and I thought it was beautiful. I really have nothing else to say about it. It's just - you know, that's what it's like to grow up. And how you want everything to mean something, all the time, so desperately, but it doesn't always work out that way ( Read more... )

Um. Oh, my god ( Read more... )

My eating habits have been very weird/sporadic lately. I need more sleep, but I just can't get used to sleeping in a room with someone else. Especially someone else who types on MSN well into the night. Maybe I'll get ear plugs.

So, some classes:

Ethics - I am super excited, because I just had this prof last semester and I looooove her... but ( Read more... )

Conversations with Other Women - this was a really well done movie. It's pretty much a character piece, essentially a prolonged conversation between Aaron Eckhart and Helena Bonham Carter, who both completely nail their roles. Like Before Sunrise/Sunset but with dialogue less true to life. The dialogue is still good, but not quite realistic - too ( Read more... )
