The End of 2011

Sorry it's been so long. Since school ended, I've just been working working working until I came home on December 22nd. It's been a great trip home. When I got to Morrissey, there were presents waiting for me. I missed them all so much, and it's going to be hard to go back to Phoenix and not be working there anymore. Going back to work there really felt like I never left, which was awesome. I've had so much fun there, but tomorrow is my last day at 10954. I don't know when I'll be back...maybe not until May. We'll see.

Other parts of my trip have been great as well. I was reunited with Tico, Erin came to visit, and I've actually had a car to drive thanks to Jordan. Plus I've had a movie night just like old times with Jay and Emily. We watched Perfume: A Story of a Murderer. Which was an extremely weird movie. But it was good. Christmas was good. I got new luggage, which was great.

Today is New Year's Eve. I've been thinking of a couple New Year's resolutions. Mostly I just want to be healthier. I want to start working out and eating better and drinking more water. Also I want to write more. I hope I can actually stick to these this year. I never do. haha.

I go back to Phoenix on Tuesday, school starts on Thursday. Kind of crazy that second semester is already starting again. I'm excited to get back into it though. Elizabeth goes out to Arizona like right after I get back. SO Exciting!!!

Semester is Officially Over!!

So... I was finally done with school on Thursday. I had to write 30 pages of my screenplay, then a six page paper, and I had two tests. But I got through it and I think I'm going to get all As except for Geology. Which I'm okay with. I think I did pretty well for my first real semester back at college, especially with rushing my sorority and stuff like that.

But mostly the point is that I have so. muCH. TIME. now. I can watch movies again. I can READ. and I can hang out with my friends. Very exciting.

With that, since school has been done, I have watched Unbreakable, Tootsie, Funny Girl, and The Descendants.  They were all just okay. In Unbreakable, Samuel L. Jackson made me extremely uncomfortable. And I couldn't figure out why he was so weird. Tootsie was so funny just because of how dated it is. Funny Girl was fun. After a while, I just skipped to the songs I knew...

The Descendants was quite disappointing. It was just really really long. And every time any real emotion was developing, they changed to a new scene. It was pretty funny at some parts, but mostly just boring. It was kind of impressive to see the Secret Life of the American Teenager girl not be so whiney and annoying. It will undoubtedly be nominated for oodles of Oscars. Not sure how I feel about that.
