WHY AM I STILL AWAKE? why did i drink wine instead of studying for all of these finals? it's actually been an amazingly nice and really relaxing weekend (even though santa barbara is colllllld and next week will be DOOM), considering the fact that i've been an anxious wreck these last two weeks. this weekend, i've had several hours-long instances ( Read more... )

what a mess i am. i hate how unmotivated i feel right now, when i should be picking it up and finishing off the quarter before descending into the blahs and the couch-sitting and the nicotine and family guy episodes. i don't even like family guy. how long will it take me to convince myself to get off my bed and go to the 24-hr. study room to write ( Read more... )

oh goodness, it's that time of the quarter again. the time i OD on coffee and nicotine, stock up on food and head to the library/cafe/wherever and try as hard as humanly possible to complete the taxing undertaking of writing all my research papers. in addition to writing a 10-pg. research paper on the relationship between theater exhibitors and ( Read more... )

ouch. i think i lost my phone last night. and now i have 5 articles to write before tomorrow, in addition to a midterm i'm supposed to study for. and a paper. now i remember exactly why i spend last weekend at the library. when i get myself off this couch, that's exactly where i'm heading ( Read more... )

so the first weekend of the festival is over. it's definitely been a learning experience, in terms of how the things work and how to survive attending one. i learned you can pretty much just flash your press pass in the general direction of a person with a list and walk in early, even if you're not covering the event. this is how i got into the ( Read more... )

ok... i get why people think juno is a cute movie. and i realize the academy awards ceremony means nothing, for all practical purposes. but as a film student/film lover/overall asshole, i cannot believe it is one of the BEST films produced this year. i mean, that IS what's supposedly being celebrated at this ceremony, right? so, by the academy's ( Read more... )
