The Notebook - Spoilers Included
So it took me two days to watch this entire movie. Not because I didn't like it, but I started to watch it when I got home drunk and depressed on Saturday night and fell asleep during. From I saw on Saturday night, I kept thinking "what was all the fuss about?" Everyone and anyone would talk about this movie being soooooo romantic and wonderful and it was a real tearjerker. From what I saw so far, it was ok. It was a love story obviously, but nothing that was really pulling me in. I watched the second half tonight and this is when the movie started to grab me a little. It was a little predictable from the get-go. I figured the older people where obviously Noah and Allie and I knew she had some sorta of mental illness. It didn't seem like they were trying to hide that fact. They slowly let the audience know that was the case. Towards the end is where I was starting to get misty-eyed because after all that love and waiting, Allie would later forget it all due to the illness. I took two gerontology classes and learned a lot about dementia. So the whole thing made the movie way sadder for me. The ending was extremely sad and I can see why so many people love this movie. I can't say I loved it, but it was definitely good and romantic.
Summer romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They're shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they're gone. - The Notebook
A few days ago, I had come to a decision to go back to school and take some classes at the community college. There is a program that I could enter that will allow me to get a certificate in addiction studies. I got all excited about it because it seemed like something I could do. I have a degree in Psychology, so its within my field. Meaning I could actually do something with the degree I paid for that I'm now in such debt because of. I don't really have the extra money to pay for these classes so I thought financial aid would help. But financial aid will not cover people who already have a bachelors. So it seems my new project is shot down for now. It's a two year program and I would eventually intern. But who knows when I will be able to do it. I still need a full-time job and I feel like pulling out my hair because I don't know what I'm going to do come summer time when work is slow. I wish things would just work out easier for me.
