slacker

so i'm pretty much just a big slacker. i got out of the habit of posting on here during school because i was so busy. now that i have some time to breathe, all i've done is nothing. you know when you mean to got a lot accomplished, but you do nothing and then can't even remember what you actually did all day long. oh well.

so i saw two movies this past weekend. i know, that's a lot. i saw Prince Caspian and Indian Jones 4. Prince Caspian was great. if i hadn't read the books though, i'm not sure if i would have liked it that much though. i feel like the symbolism is stronger in the book, and it's harder to pick up in the movie. ok wait no, you can pick it up, but it's more meaningful in the book.

Indian Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Ok, so i basically had no idea what to expect of this movie. if you don't want to be spoiled don't read any further. Ok, so the movie starts and within the first thirty minutes they've already talked about Area 51, The Philidelphia Experiment, and the Cold War. i was hooked. i got really excited. but it just didn't pull through for me in the end. i tried to convince myself it was great, but then i had a nightmare about it last night. when anything gives me nightmares i must deduct points. it wasn't too hardcore, just aliens and mummies. but you know it's always a lot scarier dreaming it. when you actually start to describe it you feel like an idiot. so it's just the whole UFO taking off at the end. i want to love it, but i just keep thinking about the end, and i can't. of course it's science fiction. i don't know, it just doesn't sit right.

but all is good- get excited for LOST season finale. it's on thursday, and i am pumped. ok that's all i really feel like writing for today. peaceout a-town.

life. is. good.

yay! the semester is done!! i can finally breathe again!! so much to tell i don't even know where to start. summer is here. a lot of my friends from school are graduating, which makes it bittersweet. i "officially" switched over, and i am now an english major. i'm really excited about it. i was able to make A's in both of my english classes this past semester. that was some wonderful affirmation, because sometimes i wonder if i made the right decision. so i'm looking to take the GRE this summer. can i please take a moment to complain. i thought i was DONE with math. but oh no. once again, math is rearing it's ugly head in my face. of course, it's summer, which means i can read whatever i want!!! ok, so read list for the summer is as follows:
-finish Atonement (school started back up b4 i could finish it)
- The Masque of the Black Tulip (this one is a bit cheesy-it's the the sequel to The Secret Histoy of the Pink Carnation. It kind of is a modern spin-off series to The Scarlet Pimpernel. FYI- The Scarlet Pimpernel was definitely one of my favorite reads as far as high school reading lists go!)
-The Time Traveler's Wife
-Plain Truth (by Jodi Piccult)
-Labrynth
-HP 6 & 7 (movie 6 is coming out in the fall!!)
so thats it.
ok so i'm pretty livid right now. my power just went out and it's less than an hour away for a new LOST!!!!!! they say it might take an hour to get the power back up. i can't even submit this post untill the power comes back on! ok, on that note, i'm off. please please please let me see LOST tonight!!!!
