ahhhhh... sweet, sweet, freedom...

not sure how i did on the last exam, but you know what? i really didn't care... during the last 30 minutes of the exam, i still had some questions that i hadn't answered yet (and was capable of answering), but i just didn't want to do it! i just wanted to get out of jocky harty and be free!!!! don't worry, i did opt to stay and finish the exam off... i figure that in the long run, it would probably be helpful to, you know, pass the exam! hahaha :p

but honestly, was SO giddy after psych... was screaming and bouncing up and down and off the walls! (the others can attest to that...) okay, so yesterday after the exam, took a nice long shower to wash off the stink of school from my soul (so nice... purging... and kiwi-scented!), then headed over to vicky's for the potluck dinner... good times! renzo was there! i don't see him often enough... that crazy peruvian, he tells the best stories EVER. ("make sure you take care of your butt!" ~ grandma) ahahaha. then afterwards we saw LOTR!!!!!!! :)

so... don't really feel like giving a synopsis or review of the movie (i'm sure all of you are going to see it anyway!), but i really liked it. truth be told though, i can't quite say right now if i like this one better than the second one... this one is the better movie, for sure, but i think i need more time to let it all sink in. and watch in again with erin once i get back totoronto! but yeah, it was a good movie... go see it and form your own opinions!!! though i suspect that if you're not into the whole fantasy genre or haven't read the books, that you might find the movie a tad long. (haha, vic?) or if you read the trilogy, you might find some fault in the changes peter jackson made in the movie, but i still maintain that it was a damn good adaptation even with the changes - i mean, you gotta look at the whole package, not get stuck up on semantics! the acting was a lot stronger in this movie, i found, than the others... i mean, i knew how the movie/book ended, but there were so many scenes where i felt full of sadness just from the sheer hopelessness of the situation... like that part when pippin was singing... oh man... (hahaha, you know those personality quizzes where they ask if you ever empathize with television characters? yeah, that is SO me!)

after the movie, xin drove grace and i home. was pretty dead tired because the movie was so long and also on account of me getting only 2? 3? hours of sleep the night before so i could study.... however, i stayed up another hour or so to watch some smallville that i had downloaded (out of pure spite towards my exams)!

then i went to sleep and woke up "early"-ish, so i could see grace before she left for toronto... now it's just me... sniff sniff... but s'ok, marco's still going to be around (yay!) and ketan and imran are here too (woot!)... and apparently keith is still around but he's doing some sort of math thingy for a prof? apparently...

anyhowz, gonna go now and grab some lunch, do some errands, and have a little bit o' fun! i'll see you all when i get back to the 'coke!!!!

oh hey - tina, suz, and anyone else... was talking with simon (<3) and he was suggesting that we meet up sometime this holiday season post-christmas... whaddayasay? you guys in?

also, we used to get free planners from the school (well, we did last year), but it seems that queen's is too cheap to give us free stuff this year! grrr.

actually, i just remembered one complaint i had about the movie: not enough legolas-gimli banter... actually, not enough legolas, for that matter... ;p
