School, SeaWorld, and Rent

[xfkirsten]

Why is it than in the LAST WEEK EVER OF COLLEGE, I get 50 bajillion projects? For ONE CLASS? *headdesk* I spent yesterday afternoon - a Saturday! - on campus taking a biology assessment test. Can I just say how much I still suck at the microbiology stuff, even after taking Cell Bio twice and Invert Phys once? Hooray for multiple guess tests! :

School on a saturday is just wrong! And to take an exam that doesn't even count makes it sound even crappier. Reminds me of how evil I think my uni is for putting finals on Saturdays :S.

[xfkirsten]

Finals on Saturdays? Why? *slaps them*

[hipapheralkus]

I think it's their way of trying to get them over with faster. But I still think of it as cruel and unusual punishment

[xfkirsten]

Revolt! :P

[zerofantasym]

Eww you're nasty, LOL!!! A six year old allright ;)

So you didn't get to Sea World? awww...
Well, come visit me in Florida! mwahahaha

[xfkirsten]

Poop! *giggles*

Nah, no SeaWorld this weekend. :( It's sad - I've gone from being obsessed and going at least once a week to being disenchanted with it and haven't been since September.

If I have money! :P

I just recently saw the rent movie for the first time too! I've never seen the Broadway show either, but I thought the movie was incredible. The only things I didn't like about it were that at times it felt a lot more like a music video for MTV than a movie. Also I already know the soundtrack, so I didn't really like that they turned a couple songs into dialog. It just doesn't sound as good as diaog.

[xfkirsten]

Ah, I can definitely see the MTV thing. The editing on numbers like "La Vie Boheme" screamed MTV music video. :P I assume they had to cut numbers for time constraints, and turned them into dialogue - that is lame, though. :(

I was at school for an exam Saturday too - mine was at 8 am, though. *gags*

[xfkirsten]

It's sick and wrong. :( Mine was at noon, so at least I got to sleep in!

you're mentally 5 and a half, tops. =D

during the years i was actually taking math classes, asu had an absolute heinous and evil tradition of having all the math finals on Saturday at 7am. You could just see the freshman dragging themselves in a big group from the dorms to their classes.

have you listened to the broadway version? i dunno, the singers sound kinda dead in the movie to me by comparison heh. except angel and benjamin, they sound eerily the same 10 years later. and them making the music all loud and grungy is kinda cool but weird ;) (i haven't seen the movie, just listened to the soundtrack. i've seen the play and listened to the soundtrack lots&lots).

Next time I have a birthday at Disneyland, I'm gonna ask for a birthday sticker that says "6." :P

NO ONE should have to get up at 7am on a Saturday. Ever. Much less for a test!

No, I haven't! I wonder if they did it a little differently because of the different medium (stage vs. screen).

[almandot]

they absolutely did it differently for the different medium. combined with them being 10 years older it just sounds different. also gotta keep in mind that RENT was the THING back in '96. Everyone listened to the soundtrack over and over and over and over for several years so it's like a big nostalgia for a lot of people and something they grew up with to reflect back on, in everyone i know's case it was 9th grade all throughout highschool.

[xfkirsten]

See, it was never that big in the area I grew up in, at least not that I remember. I'm sure a lot of the theater crowd loved it, but no one else ever seemed to notice it. :P '96 for me would have been 8th grade, I think...
