HI EVERYONE!!!!! i haven't been on here really in ages, just briefly every now and then to check on some stuff, but i haven't had time for a blog post, or to comment on anyone else's blogs, so i'm sorry! i'm writing my final exams right now, and they've all beeen really jam-packed into a short period of time, so i haven't been able to do much. this is also going to be very brief, since i've got an exam tomorrow (MY LAST ONE!!!!! YAYYYY!!!!!) that i'm nowhere near prepared for. all i want to say. is that all you people in the US. or anywhere else. with the CW. who are watching gossip girl right now. SUCK. that is all.

for some reason, CTV (here in Canada) is apparently not airing it, and i don't know when they ever will be...so i'm VERY upset. and jealous of you all. i really must go study now though, but after exams are done, i'm sure i'll be able to pay more attention to everything on here.

PEACE!!!

hey everyone! what's up!? happy st. patrick's day! (even though it was *technically* on saturday this year because the catholic church changed it because of "holy week", but i'm not celebrating the st.'s holiday, i'm celebrating the...soda pop holiday, but i digress). i haven't been on here in ages, mainly because once again, i've been writing 80 million exams (and by 80 million i mean...2). it's getting close to the end of the school year for me as well, so i'm going to be swamped studying for finals (since all of mine are jammed into a few days), and probably won't be on here much more than once a week. i don't really have anything new or super exciting to talk about anyways. my weekend was very tame. i missed getting together for a friend's birthday with all my friends in another city, because i had an exam on saturday night. oh yes, an exam on a saturday night. it was glorious. my school is super nice, and loves students (aka it's a jerk and hates students who pour their money into it, and doesn't care if we have a social life or not). gah i hate school. too bad i'm probably in it for at least 3 more years (1 more year undergrad + probably 2 years grad school). wow i type asides in brackets a lot. anyways.

what have you all been up to? hopefully something more exciting than writing exams on saturday nights! share some excitement with me. god knows i need a little right now. lol. .

well, i'm off! i've got to head to cl@ss soon then come home and drink some...pops. obviously you all know what i mean, but i'm not going to advocate anything. since this is a big pop-drinking holiday, make sure you all behave yourselves, be responsible, and stay safe!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!

hello people!

if you didn't get the title, it was a reference to billy madison. because a) i am back at school and b) billy madison is a terrific cl@ssic (stop looking at me swaaaaaaaaan).

well, nothing too exciting really has happened. i'm getting back into cl@sses and such, which is suuuuuuuuuuuuuuper FUN (i.e. not fun at all). it snowed so much here last night, so it's so messy outside. everything was melting so there was water EVERYWHERE, and now that the temperature has dropped and it's been snowing, it's seriously treacherous outside. i wish the university was closed so i wouldn't have to leave my condo today, but it's apparently not happening. sigh . i'm actually happy about one thing to do with school though: my final exams are finished early this year. normally, i'm always stuck here until the very last exam day, but this year, i'm done about a week before. yayyyyy! . this means i can go home and lounge around/go to the beach for a bit before i have to start work. oh happy days.

i went and saw "the other boleyn girl" on the weekend when i was at home with my mom (we went to a matinee, it was super adorable), and then i saw it again last night with some friends because it was cheap night and i had nothing better to do after cl@ss. now, as far as movies go, it wasn't necessarily the best (the dialogue was fairly weak, and they had trouble tying things together), but i still liked it. probably because i have a bit of a crush on natalie portman (not that kind) and because i love the story of anne boleyn (even if this one's fictionalized). i'm reading the book (which the movie is based around, and which is fictionalized as well) right now, and i've finished 450/700+ pages since i bought it on monday (i wish i could do that with something school-related...say...economics, but apparently no). the book is a BIT more historically accurate, in so much that it follows the timeline of the actual events better, whereas in the movie, you feel as if the whole story happened within a year, which it didn't, since henry viii courted anne boleyn for about 7 years before marrying her and making her queen. anyways, i still liked the movie. and the performances were terrific. natalie portman was fabulous as always, and gave a seriously amazing portrayal of anne boleyn (who was such a b*tch and amazing). kristin scott thomas as lady boleyn was really good as well. her character was completely different from the book, but she was a huge asset to the film. i was even impressed with scarlett johansson, which is shocking. as i said before, i usually find her boring in most things, but she was actually really good in this. eric bana was pretty meh as henry viii. he is a good actor, yes, but he doesn't really have a "kingly" screen presence. you don't necessarily believe that he is a king when he comes on screen. the costumes were GORGEOUS, and so were the sets. they alone almost made me want to live back in that time, but the story sure doesn't. i'd rather not be whored out to the king so my dad could gain status and money, thank you very much. anyways though, even though it definitely was not a stellar movie or anything, i really liked it. but (even though i'm not finished it) i would recommend the book over the movie, since everything is obviously more detailed, and so probably easier to follow. on the other hand though, if you'd rather have things fast-paced, then the movie would be for you. i'm on page 479 (i just checked) and anne isn't even queen yet (although she's about to be).

aaaaaaaaanyways, that's my brief little movie review. right now i am procrastinating going to the gym in my building. right now i'm thinking the CONS are outweighing the PROS, though. (PROS: i wouldn't have to go later when it's busier. CONS: it's cold and i'm snug in my bedroom, i want to finish my book, i have so much homework to do, and i'm tired and lazy). hmm. so no gym. glad that's settled. maybe i'll just do some little exercises around the condo. we'll see how i feel

so, i'm either going to go exercise, or end up back in my bed reading (this one's probably more likely). au revoir, and i hope you all have a super day!!
