apparently i can finish the rest of my degree online, in the next year. this will be the record for world's longest bachelor's degree at about 7 years.
i subtracted the two years of cosmetology, which was a huge waste of time, even though i did just do an amazing job on another bride.
anyway, this excitement of this possible opportunity excites me.
i would be able to go anywhere, in a year.
also, i can take my vacas and finish my work beforehand and not worry about stupid lectures when i get back. and, the online program requires less math, and this would mean i am currently taking my last math class!!!!!!!
i suppose i will know in the next few weeks, hooray!

into the wildCategory: movies
finished watching into the wild this morning. wow, what a depressing way to start my day.
i know the guy had a message about being free and whatnot but seriously? he went to alaska and basically committed suicide because he had no clue what he was doing and thought he was just going to be the arctic tarzan?
i know we are all too dependent on material possessions but i think he could have found a better way...
it was so sad when he was eating the plants he thought were edible and then realized he poisoned himself..
and extremely gross when he killed the moose but couldn't butcher it in time and the maggots started coming out everywhere.
anyway, this movie makes me even more into civilization and material items, and definitely not ever into traveling into the wild.
so pretty much, you can watch this movie and be depressed afterwards, but it is really good, and the main actor is hot, until he goes insane and starves to death, but you could just stop watching and disregard that part if you wanted.
i hope there are hundreds of hot men in aruba, and not the kind that will try to abduct me, only the kind who want to buy me things and give me drinks from a coconut that they have not put drugs into.

I loved that movie! But I agree- a little extreme, but it puts things into perspective and really makes you think about how reliant we are on so many things that we really don't need...
and eddie vedder did the soundtrack, which is amazing :)

ok, first of all i don't really like sean penn either. thanx (e:joshua). and i have seen the grizzly man, and i stick to my point that both men were crazy, the grizzly man more so.

I loved this movie; found it very moving and in many ways I am envious of Chris (played by hottie Emile Hirsch, for those interested). His death and expression of what he learned up to that point is poignant- happiness is not meant to be experienced alone. I dig that.

Oh, and Tim Treadwell liked to video record everything - it turned out that he managed to record his own death, but only the audio portion. For some reason the video portion got ruined.

Fuck Sean Penn. Anyway there is another story similar to this, and equally true, involving a guy named Timothy Treadwell. Werner Herzog created a documentary about him called Grizzly Man - essentially for many summers he went and lived among the grizzlies in remote Alaska. His last summer he AND his girlfriend were killed and eaten by bears.

The effective antidote might be "The Girl Next Door" :::link:::
I think Tim Olyphant's character makes it completely worth seeing. Hahaha

You know, I really like Thoreau's Walden (partly because it wasn't required reading and I read it when I was supposed to be reading other required stuff). This movie now sounds like Thoreau-gone-awry to me.

Hmm...Felly and I watched this movie and I think that in a way, it is meant to make you feel bad. I think that this guy, I forget his name, was on to something and had really good ideals. I think where he went wrong was that he not only secluded himself from civilization and material things, but from all people. I don't think human beings can survive without human beings. That and he was, admittedly, a well-off kid who might have been a little pompous and naive about his abilities to survive in the wild.

I am so glad you decided to post an honest review of the movie here. This was on my to-watch list but I don't think I like the storyline at all. I think I want to live and die in the midst of people, not in some crazy wilderness after finding "peace".

i am le tiredCategory: work
wow, it's so tiring going to work and then class.
plus my boss is freaking out about everything, and as usual i end up picking up the pieces after others who don't do things right.
my math instructor spit in my face last night, he is one of those spit talkers. it was so gross, i think i need to need sit front and center anymore.
this girl in my english class was crying because she is so overwhelmed with college and she was so cute and little and innocent. she will be fine, but imagine if you were such a stressed out person like that. maybe she should get a vice or something.
anyway, i already have tons of work due because one of my classes is accelerated and we do the semester in half the time and i choose to take french online which is ridic...
cannot. wait. until. monday. or at least until 10 tonight when i get to come home and go to bed.

shoppingi went to the mall yesterday, my kryptonite.
i was only supposed to spend 100 or less and spent about 400.
ok, everything i found was such a bargain, but now i have major guilt.
on the upside, some items are for my momma, its her bday this friday.
and a majority of the things i did need... sorta... and it was all on sale except for the sephora stuff, but sale makeup in kinda weird and old and not good.
also on the upside, i will be so stylish on my trip.
see you in 8 days blo!

I need a makeover. Apparently, I need to dress up and I have no idea how. All my dressing-up is very non-Western and all my "dresses" are at home.
i really do rock at makeovers, and helping people with style and hair and makeup. i can make anyone look a better version of themselves, but it's hard to get people to change. some people think their bad look is good. in the end, what is fun for me, ends up being a job to do to someone else and i would rather hang with kids all day.
Just curious, why didn't you follow up on the cosmetology degree? Seems like you rock at makeovers etc.
