ok, i finally saw LOTR on monday. it was goooood man! i liked it a lot. i think it's better than the first one, partly because there weren't any "jump" scary moments, like the horrible bilbo "give me the ring!" terror in the first movie. i loved the battle at the end with the 10,000 orcs. felt like standing up and cheering for them. i also enjoyed the revenge of the giant trees. it was pretty funny. i guess peter jackson had to include some environmentalist propaganda, but it was probably in the books. i wouldn't know, since i didn't read any of them. it was great, on the way to nadia's house, i passed by the high school and the student parking lots were full, and it was just this wonderful feeling of not having school and remembering when there was a time when i had to go to school for 6 and a half hours everyday. hooray, good movie, good times.went to lunch with frances and her roommate sabrina at turning point yesterday. i've never eaten there before, and it was so good!! the plates are gigantic. i learned what chorizo is. (it's a type of sausage) then afterwards i went home and frances went shopping with her roommate. she had to get some new clothes at lane bryant. =D just kidding.... "LOL" ...
watched "armageddon" on tv last night, and like every single time, i was tearing at the end. that movie never fails to get me. it really tugs at the heartstrings.
today is my dog hershey's 6th birthday. shout-out to hershey.
and now, time for contemplation and reflection...
i have a lot of goals for spring semester. academically and otherwise. they are achievable and good for me. i think i'll write out a list for myself. but not here. i learned a lot during the fall, about how i study, how i learn best, how i interact with other people, etc. i really want to use what i have learned, and also what i know i should do, and really change for the better. hm, i guess i'm not being very clear here, but that is all.
