Remember when I was complaining about how I couldn't wait to leave? Not too hard, just scroll down a few inches. But now that I'm finally leaving in less than two days, true to my procrastinating nature, I've got so much left to do I'm wondering how much sleep I'm gonna get the next two nights.

Yesterday she watched Mystic River, today she watched Blood Work and tomorrow she ( Read more... )

I went and saw The Prestige today instead of studying for my SAT II history test tomorrow. I had been wanting to see it and when my sister said that she was going to see it with her boyfriend and his family I decided to tag along.

Well, for starters, I couldn't help but compare it to The Illusionist, which was the last movie that I had seen in ( Read more... )

UCSB is beautiful and I'm gonna go to school there. That's all there is to it. My sister's happy about that. Then on weekends she can come visit me. If she had gone away to college she would have wanted to go there so she's happy that ( Read more... )
