a good time
i got an A on my hardy/ owens poetry comparison paper. that is my first A on a paper here at UVA. i know that makes me sound stupid, but the thing is, here in the college of arts and sciences, UVA feels the need to prove itself as a top notch school by never giving anyone the A's... subjective grading can be quite frustrating. so i got this A after pouring myself into my paper. and then i got an A on my first psych exam.... that class i was terrified of. i correctly calculated z score, standard deviation, and central tendency. i rule. i studied hard for my english 381 test and though i think it was hard, i knew the majority of the information. i am also about to get my paper back for turn of the century lit, and i hope she liked it as much as my poetry professor liked the other one. wooo! school is just going really well.
next weekend is the film festival and i am very excited about that. there's a lot on tap but i am anticipating the first look at "birth"- a movie that is yet to be released starring nicole kidman. apparently the kid is like her dead husband or something very bizarre... nicole has been on a roll lately, or so they say, so hopefully it will be cool. sandra bullock is going to be at the festival, but i probably won't see her at all. it's the 10 year anniversary of speed, which i have never seen... i like her though, i wish she wasn't sold out. though i am sure no one will even get to see her close up. (i hope not at least, since i can't go). there are a few other movies as well, so its just a great opportunity to be loving on the movies as i am always up for that. in fact, the horror movie SAW is coming out over the weekend and i am just very eager to see that. very psychologically disturbing, i can only hope. i haven't seen the grudge yet, but i think i will. i worry that it will be full of cliches and ruined by sarah michelle gellar, but i can't help but hope for the best with it. actually, a lot of new movies finally have come out that seem worth watching. i am a little skeptical of i heart huckabees, though, even if the IMDB gives it rave reviews. i am starting to doubt the credibility of the IMDB. i admit, i am a huge loser, and i consult it before i rent or see anything, and a lot of times, it is semi-accurate as critic, but sometimes i just disagree.
in other news, i am going to post pictures as soon as photobucket starts working again. happy monday, all, hope it isn't as nasty out there for you as it is here in VA.
