the summertime, where the living's easy...
I'm glad I got this blog going again. I mainly stopped writing in it b/c all my high school friends abandoned theirs and knowing the fact that no one was going to read mine anymore discourage me from writing anymore. It's encouraging to know that I have readers out there (ahem Swanny :D ).
Summer time always has it perks. Even though I'm separated from my college friends for a short but seemingly long two months, I get to reconvene once again with my high school friends. It's a time for me to catch up on the things I am not able to do during school: reading, skating, watching movies, and sleeping just to name a couple of them. My schedule usually consist of the following to those who are unfamiliar to my Oklahoma ways.
11:00-12 - Wake up from my peaceful slumber
1:30-3 - Skate
3-whenever - Work
Except for that one summer after sophomore year where I worked at IHOP and had to wake up at 7:30 for my 8 a.m. shift.
This summer hasn't been any different from the others.
- I have successfully finished producing my first movie and now working on a memory book.
- I skate 4-5 times a week. My doubles are looking rather dismal, I mean, I think they're getting better but I really can't tell b/c I still fall a shitton. BUT I can tell my edge quality is getting a lot better which is all that matters because without the edge quality everything else is shit. Therefore I'm still working hard towards that olympic goal if you haven't heard already.
- I just got a job at Applebee's as of today in fact!
- I'll be starting summer classes at OU within the next two week. That should be rather interesting, going somewhere else besides DePauw, with no other Depauw students at all, just me, myself and I.
I just can't believe it has already been one month since I have graduated. SHIT. Time does fly by.
Anyways I never really explained the premise of the movie from my last post, With Honors. I really want to sell it, b/c it's such a good movie and has a really good message to go along with it, I think everyone should see it. It's about a senior at Harvard, starring Brendan Frasier, who is working on his final thesis, and once it is accepted, he could finally live out his dream of graduating "With Honors". Clever I know. His only copy of his thesis however gets stolen by a hobo, and in order to get it back he has to do various tasks in turn for a page or two of it. From this, he starts to learn that life is a lot more to just doing what everyone thinks is best for you, because when it comes down to it, what is best for a person is made known by that person himself and not by society and their conforming rules. Except the movie does a lot better job in conveying this message than I have with my sappy cheesy prose.
Just finished watching Sofia Coppola's film, Lost In Translation. Very, very funny, very very interesting. A must see for anyone, just in the sense it's a very eye opening, learning experience. It's about two very different cultures crossing one another's paths and the shock the main characters, Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson get once they get thrown into the middle of it. If you like making fun of asians and their pronunciation of l sounds, then this is a must see for you.
I noticed pictures really liven up a blog post so I'm going to post a picture for each post I make from now on.
