I have been busy with homework.... let me tell you I am afraid to write essays or papers because so much has changed since I was in high school. I have had to write 3 so far this semester and I have at least 2 more. Citing my source.... What? Do these professors not know that there was no internet when I was in high school? And with my job, I have been taught to keep things short and sweet so 10 page paper.... that takes me forever ;)
I went to the movie premier of The Hunger Games. Yes the MIDNIGHT premier. on a school night. I have never been to a midnight movie. EVER. I like to go to bed at a decent hour and I don’t like to be short on sleep. My friend Tracy read all of the books and none of her friends nor her sister could go with her, so I decided to go. I have not read the books and I still haven’t decided if I am going to. Yes I understand that the people of the districts don’t really want to send their kids to be killed and that the government forces them to.... still I struggle with the whole concept. As another friend stated the books are based on a “reality” type show which is popular these days so it is just giving the public more of what they lie. The movie was very good though. I cried, sat on the end of my seat and felt my heart break. It was very powerful. So I may go with Tracy to the next premier as well....
I bought a new car too. I was really attached to my old car. It was my dream car. 1998 Volvo Cross Country station wagon. When the car first came out, the commercial had a couple rescuing a sea turtle and I thought that was awesome. It had all the bells and whistles too for 1998. I really just wanted to drive a few cars and see what I liked most and which would be the best for driving my daughter back and forth to college this fall. Well ... I fell in love with a 2007 Mercury Milan. I have never liked sedans (I think they are ugly and lack character), but this one rides so well and it looks cool. No moonroof or heated leather seats, so I did downgrade a little but it was a great deal and I knew I needed to take the great deal I got and go! So far it has treated me very well.
I have also been flirting with a guy. (yes the one I gave my number to in my last post) A lot. I don’t know where it will lead. And that is ok.
I also had to kill a spider. Ok, it was in the sink one morning and I just had to wash it down the drain...but even that freaks me out. But I did it. and I didn’t have to leave the bathroom for 20 minutes and pretend that I didn’t just kill it. I stayed in the bathroom and did my hair.
Take care and I will post again after finals :) Megan
