Am feeling better again now, don't think I'm getting sick. So it must be that the period is on it's way. Just hope I don't get it during the "in class test" tomorrow, it counts for 30% of my final grade, so I would hate to run out in the middle because of cramps.
Am nervous. I have read all that I can read, and done all the study stuff that I'm able to do, been watching movies, and stuff and analyzing the camera movement, cutting, acting, lighting and sound. There's so much to notice. We had exercise in class where we listened to a movie clip and we're gonna guess what type of movie it was, and from when, what type of movie, and list the sounds we heard. That was actually interesting. Though it's not the first time I've heard a video clip. Happens every time there's a updated vrs of Quicktime and all I get of the clips I've downloaded is sound. Wow, I'm kind of rambling now aren't I. Am just nervous about the test, though I can't think of anything else to prepare.
Anyways, Camelia is coming back on Sunday. Sound like she's having a lot of fun back home. That's good, think she needed a little down-time. Not that classes are a bitch for her, but we all need some down-time once in a while. :) I can't wait for Xmas brake now... it's still about 6 weeks of school left, but I'm hoping it'll be quick. I really miss the people back home, and my dog. They're showing some really horrible commercials on English TV about abused and mistreated dogs, and it's just killing me. It makes me want to run down to the dog-pound and adopt every dog there. I love animals, so stuff like that just pisses me off. Pets are for life, not just for xmas!
On monday I'll finally get my hands on the "X2: X-Men United" DVD. I've put down a deposit on it, and will receive a X-Men Cd-tin when I go get the DVD. Luckily I have monday's off from school, so I can spend the whole day watching the extras, and of course the movie. Yay! I love those movies, think I could write quite a long paper on that as well if I could choose, but maybe I shouldn't, don't know how critical I could be. ;)
Most people are getting exited for the release of "The Two Towers" extended version, but I'm not gonna buy it straight away, might see if I can get it cheaper if I wait a bit. One of my friends will buy it, so I'll get my share when I visit her. I've barely watched me own "The Fellowship of the Ring" extended version, because she put hers on every time I came to visit. Anyway, I don't wanna get all pumped up for "The Return of the King" a moth before the big event. Think they'll start ticket sales on the 11th, so Camelia and I will be in line... or she will, while I'm at school. Have to work out how we're gonna do it. We wanna do the "Trilogy-Tuesday" thing if we can. They're gonna show the extended vrs of "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers" before they show "Return of the King", like a "Lord of the Rings" marathon. Only thing is, that I have school that day, so we've just got to figure out when it starts, and if there's any point for us to go to that. But there is nothing that's gonna stop us from getting tickets for the "The Return of the King" premiere December 17th!
All of this will of course be going on in between school, exams and filming. Heh, I don't think I'll have to worry to much about killing time till xmas. ;)
And what am I looking forward to after xmas?
2 day school week.
More breaks from school, so I can go home more often.
"Van Helsing"
"Return of the King" extended version
"Kill Bill, vol 2"
More news about "X-Men3" ?
Hmmm, they're shooting fireworks outside. I don't know the details, but the British are celebrating the fact that some guy named Guy Falks (or something like that) didn't manage to blow up some building. But they've been shooting fireworks all week, and today they're really going at it, kind of nice actually. Festive.
I should return to reading for my test tomorrow, doubt I can cram much more into my brain at this point, but it's worth a try.
Wish me luck.
