Well, if Jane does die, it will be a comfort to know she was in pursuit of Mr. Bingley
Saw the new Pride & Prejudice with Keira Knightley, and it was excellent. I still love Sense and Sensibility more, but the score for this film was just spectacular. I don't know how I can be cynical to a fault and still be reduced to such a rosy-eyed state after watching films like these. Maybe it's because I really adore those love stories, even if they are ficticious and I don't really believe they will ever come true in real life. Movies are about the suspension of disbelief. My skepticism of love is suspended momentarily and I find myself inhabiting a world where Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy can have a passionate love, true love that last for always. but enough of that lovey-dovey crap, and back to the real world :)
I also saw Wedding Crashers for the first time, and it was not as funny as I thought it was going to be. I think it might be one of those movies that gets a little funnier each time you watch it; for example, the first time I saw Anchorman I thought it was kind of lame, but now I really like it alot....Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite / Looking forward to a little afternoon delight / Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite / And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting.
Sky rockets in flight / Afternoon delight...classic
I'm at the center trying to get some work done, but honestly, I am not really in the school mode right now. Everyone at Alma's done right now, and if they aren't taking a spring term, then they're done until the fall....and I am jealous. I have less than two weeks in Philly, and though I would not trade my time here for anything, I am ready to be home, to see the people I love. I talked to Jess on the phone today and she sounds so big, I can't wait to see her (her adoption is final on Thursday!!!). Now, it probably helps that I know I'll only be home for about a month because after that me and the fam would not mix so well, especially since Nathan is living at home again and I am turning 21 this summer.
I have made some wonderful friends here, especially katie, she's crazy and fun and I'm going to miss her sooooo much. I'll get to see Mollie and Jenny back in Alma, but not Katie :( In fact, she's leaving a week early because of a spring term class she's taking at Hanover, which means I'll be in the apt. without her for a week...seriously, I will miss her a lot. We are planning quite the afternoon/evening on Friday, it should be interesting, and I'm not gonna lie, some of you may be getting some phone calls, 'cause I love to chat when inibriated.
but time to look forward, and say goodbye to this exciting city. I noticed all my entries lately are kind of retrospective, and I seem to be emotionally ending my time in Philly..it's like shutdown mode....
so I suppose technically I'm a senior now....kinda scary, but I'm exited for the perks that come with it, especially the fact that I'll finally be able to accompany my friends to the pub...I'll be a big kid!!!!! Plus, everytime I do something it will be the 'last' time, which is kind of crazy and really makes me want to make the most of those experiences I always treated so lightly. also, gotta gear up for the GRE and Grad school apps., and consider the fact that I may not end up going to grad school at all. I don't really know what I want to do...I have an idea of course, but the good thing about ideas are that they can be changed :)
and the seniors are gone....and i didn't see them go, they'll just not be there anymore, so it will be so odd to come back and they won't be there and I didn't even get the chance for a proper goodbye....and maybe they're ready to say goodbye, but what if I'm not? I will be okay after a while I suppose, but that doesn't mean that everyday I am at Alma there won't be a little part of my heart that is missing them. I'm glad that I'll see some of them when I visit alma in a couple weeks, but still....you can't say goodbye to family without your heart suffering a little bit..
change is neccessary and a good thing though, so I am so happy that I will get a chance to experience things and meet people I never met before in the fall....man it will be a year to remember :)
