I've come to the realization in the past couple weeks of school, that I appear to have senioritis...all the time. I thought that would end with high school, but alas, it did not. It probably doesn't help that I purposely plan my schedule to make sure I have no classes before eleven in the morning, and no friday classes either. I seem to hardly ever have homework, and quite a bit of free time. Another problem is when I browse through different majors, if it has a senior thesis, that major is no good. Perhaps I'll find something I'm fully invested in as a career next semester.
Example of my sophmoritis (I feel that word is more appropriate): today I had an essay due in my class at 4:30. Instead of being responsible and writing it the night before, or earlier, I skipped my class at 3 in order to write the essay then. I blame the christmas season. It makes me want to just snuggle up, drink hot chocolate, and go look at christmas lights. 24/7.
Also, used my last fifteen dollars in my account last night to buy some meager supplies of food. Officially a college student! I never realized how hard it is to keep food in the fridge till now. I honestly have no idea where it goes (well, my stomach of course, but still).

Katie persauded me
I haven't blogged in quite a long time. In fact, I only blogged last winter to keep friends and family in the states updated on my travels. I've been reading my roomie katie's blog for some time now, and she has convinced me to start a new blog for fun. So here it is! I guess I'll start off with saying how grateful I was for this past thanksgiving break. I got to have real meals all week, AND do my laundry! Living here at the Riv has its hardships haha.
Anywho, one significant part of the break was my discovery of my new favorite movie. This is big, because my favorite movie has been big fish for. . . a couple years! I love movies that are different than the normal girl meets guy, they don't like each other, they do, then there's a falling out, they realize their love, and yay happy ending! blah. Thought I admit I do enjoy chick flicks where I know the exact outcome the whole time every once in awhile. Even most other movies are insanely predictable. Take action movies for example: the main guy usually beats the bad guy at an intense moment where you think he might not make it. I love movies where the storyline is something different and new, or keeps me guessing what will happen next. Movies that make me think basically. Different from your average storyline, that make me go, woa! Examples: shawshank redemption, the illusionist, big fish of course, oceans movies, across the universe, etc. I also love period movies, such as pride and prejudice, and BBC movies.
Wow, that was a little too much. Back to the point. So wednesday night I rented The Brothers Bloom with my cousin, and let me tell you, it is great! It's about two brothers who have been con men their whole lives, and have one last con. I did wish I had a clearplay when
I watched it because there were some things that were unnecessary, and quite a lot of language.
Here are some of my favorite quotes from it:
"The perfect con is one where everyone involved gets just what they wanted. "
" The trick to not feeling cheated is to learn how to cheat. "
"I don't know about "truths." A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells, the less you know. "
Love it!
Enough about movies. In light of the past thanksgiving holiday I feel I should list some things I'm thankful for:
family
old and new friends
my strengthening testimony
scarves
roommates putting up with me being in my bathrobe a lot of the time
my bathrobe
rings from other countries
being able to travel
beautiful photography
michael buble music
skinny jeans that fit well even after wearing them multiple times
friends who use the open door policy
people who make me laugh till my face hurts
good influences
change
art
a good book and a fireplace
barnes and nobles classics
finding euros and pounds in a random purse pocket
getting to play my heart out on piano
classical music
the crazy feeling I get inside about different things. Like there's a balloon swelling up inside me that will pop if I don't get to experience something.
not really ever getting stressed
dresses my mom makes for me
Also, my mom brought this realization about when she handed me a book to read and I got bored with it. She said, you only like classic books with older english language that aren't simple to read. True mom, so true. I get bored if the language is just...meh. Bring on the old!
"risk it all cuz i'll catch you when you fall"
random owl city lyrics I just heard playing outside my room. crazy feeling inside right now!
