presentation done! wheee!!!
Just finished my practicum presentation, got 10/10. Whoohoo!!! And I only did the powerpoint last night!!! Crammers rule!
Saturday I went out with Liz and Shine to Gateway, ate at food court (not bad) and Sim-Sim joined us to watch "A Lot like Love" starring Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet. Ashton K's not really my type... pretty and smart... okay he is. He is too darn pretty!!! Story's pretty cute too. It was a fun brainless movie.
After went to Andie's "pad" to watch movies. Watched Ferris Bueller's Day off ( spelling?!) and she hated it (which means I have to love it. Andie and I just HAVE to be contrary). Her roomie was getting drunk in the common room/kitchen area with some of her mates and smoking (gross) and she barged in, dragged me and Andie out to introduce to her drinking buddies. Andie's a real antisocial crab so she enjoyed it a lot. I just hated the smoke.
Slept over coz Andie didn't want to be alone in her room with the rowdy crowd outside. Went to sleep while Andie watched Reservoir Dogs AGAIN. Slept with my pillow over my head (as usual) so the gunshots weren't that distracting.
Sunday me and the Antisocial Crabby-Patty went to Gateway again to catch Jet LI's new movie. Turns out it wasn't showing at 4 because they were having a Gay/Lesbian Film Fest so some of the cinemas had single-showing films going on. That's why all these Porn films were on.... AAAAAH. Andie probably wanted to watch summa that, the perv. So ended up watching Madagascar for the third time and I still love it, but Andie just had to be contrary and she hated it. Typical crabby patty.
Went to the BIG National Bookstore which Dennis Duran-Duran had brought me before (he had to get a big nerdy physics book), so didn't see the 4th Floor. When I saw ONE WHOLE FLOOR OF USED BOOKS, I knew I was in heaven. If my mother's ashes are to be scattered in Surplus, mine are gonna be scattered there. You could leave me there and just bring me food once a day (good for my figure) and I'd be happy.
Saw quite a few French books. (thanks for that 'Dre!) Most of them were boring ones about pregnancy (oooh!!!), tennis equipment and alien sightings. I did see some interesting ones though! Romance novels (as in Harlequin/Mills&Boone type) in French! Buwahahaha!!! I bought a couple (I figure these are gonna be way more interesting reading than "Nutrition for Athletes"), a book of poetry (Quebequois but then beggars can't be choosers) and one volume of this body&psychology encyclopedia (which was all i saw of the set), each selling for 10-20 pesos! Wheee!!! Bought this cookbook for students (wish i had it as a freshman) and this mushy novel "6 Reasons to stay a Virgin".
IT IS SUCH A CUTE BOOK!!! Mushy and sweet and funny and my convictions are almost like hers, except hers have the Faith-aspect cut out. But still, one small step in romance publishing, one giant leap for virgins!!! Wheeee!!! And unlike other romances which go into the act in explicit detail (yes, you'd like that Dre.) this one is so good I'd lend it to my sister, and I will. It's so cute talaga!!! Gonna read it again later. I'm in the first chapter of my first French romance though it's taking me looooooooooooong. (Finish books of that thickness -- very thin -- in an hour if it's in English) Consulting my trusty French-English dictionary every other sentence. Not that great, but not that bad either right?
Wanted to break the monotony of plain text so took a coupla pix of me. Here ya go! Get your sick bag out NOW.
hypeRory does an impression of "trying to smile for your driver's license right after sucking on a lemon" ME TODAY in the placement office with my lovely red top. Me in March (in the board shorts) doing my first hosting gig: Luau-themed Senior's Going away party at the Placement Office. I heard that the first time is never that good. I heard right, but it was still fun.
