Things aren't turning out the way I wanted them to. I know that's life but that doesn't make it any better. What really upsets me is that I'm in this endless cycle. Not just the cycle but that I could go back and find me writing these same things sometime in the last year. I'm like a broken record. I don't want to talk about school anymore, or the future. The best part of today was when I sat down to read. At least for that brief period of time I was doing something that made me happy, and was able to stop thinking about this trainwreck that is heading my way.

 We made celebrity turkeys to decorate for Thanksgiving. It's going to be a new thing. 

Sense and Sensibility
Jane Austen

Synopisis:
Mr. Dashwood dies, leaving his second wife and daughters with little and his Son Norland. While the Dashwood woman are in the process of finding a new home, John Dashwood and his wife Fanny move into Norland. This is where Elinor meets Edward, who she falls in love with. The Dashwood woman move to Barton, where they are close to Mrs.Dashwoods intrusive cousins. Colonel Brandon loves Marianne, Marriageable thinks he is to old to be in love, among other things. Marianne falls in love with Willoughby and acts without thinking while Elinor silently pines for Edward. Theres drama everywhere, Edward is secretly Engaged to someone else, Willoughby leaves and the girls go to London, where there is even more Drama. Marianne gets worked up and sick. Everyone ends up with the right person. pretty much typical Austen

Review:
Earlier this year I read Pride and Prejudice for the first time and was really looking forward to reading more Austen. Sense and Sensibility did not live up to the high standers I had set for it, but It was a good read. The slow start describing the family situation ruins the race of the story and makes it very had to get into. I had a problem with Marianne as a character, but I can see how she could be endearing to some. In short this was a classic worth reading.

Today was an interesting day. Read the new Postsecret book at Barnes and Nobel, which made me kind of sad. Did get a new book though. Took a nap. Watched The Office. I went to this Art Gallery Show thing with Sarah in Wicker Park. It was pretty awesome. They evidently have it the first weekend of every month, and everyone that owns studio space in the building who wants to show their work can. There was a lot of really cool and beautiful pieces, and so weird abstracts stuff, and of course some just plain bad art. But it was fun. When we got back Derek and Amanda were home from their fraternity thing so we made coffee filter turkeys to go on the clipboards in the dining area. I hope they turn out nice, we have some cool coffee filters to choose from now!

My legs hurt so bad. going to watch amazing race and go to sleep early.

really really don't want to edit tomorrow.

Another Wednesday is done, I can't wait to be done with this semester.

I don't have anything to write that won't stress me out or make me feel bad so, this is tonights entry.

Last day in Livonia till Thanksgiving. Good day, lots of sleeping and watching tv with my dad. I still wish I had finished Scenes and Sensibility and my homework, but that isn't a huge deal, i have a five hour train ride to do that tomorrow. oh, and ick, five hour train ride tomorrow! I'm really not looking forward to that but I there isn't much I can do about it. I should probably charge my ipod now.
I still have to pack for tomorrow, ahhhhhhhhhhh I hope I can fit everything I want in my bags. I don't think I can, I have an extra pair of boots now that I doubt will fit in my bag, so I guess I'll have to decide which boots I need more for the next two weeks before my mom vists.

Today was Halloween. I really like Halloween in theory, but since i'm not really into partying it isn't really my thing. I had dinner with my parents then passed out McDonald's vouchers with Kelsey at my Grandmas. There weren't very many kids so we ended up doing a weird word search. Also got steak n shake with Jon and Kel. Kel and I played ASAP and watched some weird movie that had Rowan Atkinson in it and children who had been turned into mice. I watched the Wings game with my dad and that was pretty much it. I'm looking forward to the extra sleep tonight. When I'm home I always feel like I can't sleep in, and I have a hard time going to bed early so it is just this recipe for disaster. I hope I don't do much tomorrow, hopefully a little homework, some light reading and some relaxing.

i'm kind of tired, but I had a good day. I got my hair cut, had lunch with my mom, went shopping and got a dress, new jeans and a gray dress. Did some reading, played with the best dog in the world, had a suspenseful, dramatic and funny dinner, carved a potter pumpkin with my BFF failed hard at wii Mario Party and watched are you smarter than a 5th grader and awesome police videos until around 1. Looking forward to tomorrow. I should really work on homework a bit tomorrow and Sunday, probably more on Sunday. It is rainning kinda hard right now.

I've been home for Halloween each year since I've been away at school (or at least for the surrounding weekend) and it is really because I truely miss fall in a place that isn't a huge city. I love seeing leaves and real decorations. It's so beautiful and I don't think anyone can really appreciate it until they miss it.

Also, I want to go on the Amazing Race.

I have no intent of talking about my midterm today, so instead we will focus on the shit that went down on the train.

So I got to union station a little over an hour before my train left, which was my plan. I got Mcdonalds because 3 dollars for two burgers is much better than 5 for a hotdog.
I got to the waiting area and it was packed as hell. But there was a very confused lady yelling at some guy who didn't really speak English. It turns out she just didn't know how to find where she was going, so seeing as I had an hour to kill I decided to help her. So i told her where she needed to be and when. She was actually very nice.
Stood in line and read scenes and Sensibility and finally boarded the train. I was super excited because the train as about to leave and I still had the seat next to me free. Of course it is at this point that a large woman in stelletos comes panting on the bus screaming "IS THIS GOING TO DETROIT" saddly, my car was. I watched her walk past and asumed I was home free. I was oh so wrong. The first hour of the trip was spent reading while she coughed and answered her phone in the same way five times (OMG I ALMOST MISSED THE TRAIN. I HAD TO SPRINT, LITERALLY SPRING TO THE TRAIN)which always lead to me thinking that I wished she had. This continued for a while, then she asked me if the train ever wehn any faster. It didn't. I was very confused that she had brought nothing, literally nothing, to do on her five hour train ride. She ended up watching the Amazing Race over my shoulder. It was kind of frustrating

Now for the second weird thing. About an hour and a half into my trip the relatively cute boy in front of me turned around and asked if I wanted any snacks because he had a ton. So I got cookies and we talked long enough for me to find out he was going to some gaming convention (which he invited me to), he likes sci fi and that his name is bob. At this point I go get pepsi and back to watching my show. After Ann Arbor both he and the girl next to me start grilling me for train information, because i am apparently the only person who has ever been on a train in the universe. Then bob preceeds to tell me about alien movies and Stargate. It was all very weird and he would not stop takling. at all. I was so glad to get off the train in Dearborn. You guys have no idea.

I also owe David a thank you for talking to me on the train and keeping me updating on the wings game and coming to save me from the crazy lady but going to hogwarts instead. .

Wednesday's are a long day, but they have been progressively getting better. I come home tomorrow on the 6 o'clock train. Hair cut on Friday. This is very good as my bangs are slightly longer than i like my shortest layer to be.

So i think I'm going to do my final film on a girl who is so lonely she talks to paintings. Because of this i'm asking everyone what painting they would like to take advise from, so which one?

I have a midterm tomorrow that I have no interest in taking at all.

I've started packing for this weekend, so far I have two outfits. This is not enough clothes. I need to decide what books I'm bringing, what music I need to get if I don't all ready have it. Though I will probably just watch five hours of the Amazing Race. Which brings me to my final point of the night. Anyone want to audition for the Amazing Race with me? i promise it's a better idea then it sounds.

I only had to go to class for an hour today. This turned out to be a very good thing since I got quite a bit done on my paper before class, got to return some library books, be disappointed by the library again and do the practical part of my producing midterm. I did have to pitch my vague ideas to the five people in my group for Production 2. I think I am going to do my final film about a girl who gets advice from paintings.

It took longer than anticipated to finish my office paper and my treatment. I don't think either are very good but I hope they'll at least get me B's in both classes.

Amanda and I are watching V for Vendetta now. I really do love well spoken men, and if there is a better way to describe V then I don't know it. I'm not a huge fan of films set in a not to distant dystopia future. Does anyone have a copy of the graphic novel that I could borrow?

Oh,and does anyone want to make my blogspot blog more presentable? It looks messy now and I want it to look impressive and pretty. I'll pay whoever fixes it in cookies?
