Spring Break
- I got into Berkeley (a semester late) and Whitman (a semester late). Huh.
- I went to a Seder at Izzi's house last Monday with Avril, Evan C., and Erik. It was actually fun/interesting. I have to do a report for World Religions on a religious ceremony, so I took notes during the seder for it. We then had dinner and spent the rest of the time gossiping. hehe.
- I took a film noir class for interterm. We saw:
1) The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari: A silent German film. It was ok.
2) The Maltese Falcon: too confusing to be interesting.
3) Double Indemnity: Really good.
4) Sunset Boulevard: Also really good.
5) Woman in the Window: probably my favorite because we saw it in the Palo Alto theater.
6) Brick: a neo-noir film. Recent. Complicated.
7) Touch of evil: not a very good movie.
8) LA Confidential: pretty good, but too complicated.
- My Birthday was thursaday. I got a lot of cake, because both Michelle H. and my family got one. They were both really good.
-Ver and I then went to the Uc Berkeley library before seeing "Volver." It was a good movie. Penelope Cruz's lip-synching was embarrasingly bad, however. It had surprises in it, which was good.
-Today I went to visit Uc Davis with my dad. I doubt I'll end up going there, but I was fairly impressed. Number one school in the nation for vet-medicine --- haha.
- tomorrow I'm leaving for Smith and Bryn Mawr. It's supposed to be like freezing in New England. Grrr. Oh well. It'll be...realistic.
