Take a breath
I've been so busy lately since school started. It's going to be a long, tiring semester. I've started taking naps on the floor, behind the counter at work before the store opens again. It's been a while since I did that, but I need the extra sleep sometimes. Today I had planned to go around to middle schools and drop off the request form to do observations, but after getting up early, I fell back to sleep and woke up late. I still have time to go, but I really need to go to the DMV. My registration is up this month and I want to get a new license. I should be doing that now, but, as you can see, I'm slacking. Since I haven't updated this in a while, I wanted to update it quickly.
School is going well. I'm starting to figure out what is actually expected in my classes. On the first day of class you are bombarded with statements like, "there is going to be a lot of reading and work," but, in actuality, some classes are easier than they are made out to be. For example: my Human Development class. We were assigned several chapters of reading for the second class according to the syllabus. I read three of the five chapters assigned. In class, my professor talked as if we only needed to read chapter one and also gave us a breakdown of the chapter on the overhead projector. There are also no tests and the final paper is only;y 4 pages. Brilliant! This will take off some of the pressure so I can focus on my more demanding Methods I class. Once I start doing the classroom observations I will be really busy. I'm excited to be back in school, but I can't wait for the semester to end.
I saw a couple of movies with Magdalene last week. We saw Hollywoodland and The Black Dahlia. Hollywoodland was awesome. Great cast, great storyline, great acting. The Black Dahlia, on the other hand, was, well, it was actually really bad. This was quite disappointing for both of us. We spent a couple of days looking up information on the actual murder and looking at death photos. And since James Elroy wrote the book, I was convinced it would be good. I was so wrong. I love LA Confidential. The Black Dahlia is no LA Confidential. The acting was awful, aside from Aaron Eckhart, who was mostly good, & Hillary Swank, and the story was confusing until the end. It's fine if a movie keeps you guessing, but this one had us saying, "I have no idea what's happening." So if you have the urge to see it, I suggest you better spend your time staring at a wall. You'll be more entertained.
Ok, I need to shower and go the DMV, then work. Later on.
