School in Two Days September 6

Personal Life Comments Closed

Here I am, finally blogging about something on my blog which I said I would blog 3-4 times a week (LOL). I hope you aren't sick of "back to school" entries because here comes another!

I go back to school in two days, aka Tuesday. I have mixed feelings about going back. Last year at this time I had wished that summer would never end and that I'm going to die when I go to school. Then, at the end of this past school year I couldn't wait to be a sophomore and take my awesome classes. However, because my school has the best scheduling system ever (note the sarcasm), I wasn't able to take two of the classes that I knew I wanted to. Instead I was suck with an AP and Spanish teacher I didn't want, along with a class I had originally dropped.

Oh, and did I mention that we now have NINE PERIODS. My stupid school district keeps changing things. First they make us go in a half hour earlier. Then they make more periods and have reduce the time we have to get from class A to class B. Usually this isn't a bad thing, but when you're school is as big as mine, it gets kinda annoying not being able to talk to your friends in the halfway.

The one thing I know I'm excited about is being able to use my Moleskine planner. :P

Alright, I'll be done with my rant for now. However, like I said before, my feelings are mixed about going back to school. It's going to be nice to get out of the house (and away from my family), but then again, I have to do homework. Seeing as how I'll be taking two AP classes (my choice, mind you) I'll have even less time on the computer. See, if I only had my MacBook Pro, I could be doing my homework in my room on the computer... *sigh*

If you're going back to school/college, what are your feelings about going back?

Julie & Julia August 24

While my brothers and father are at the beach being burned by the sun, my mother and I went to see Julie & Julia. I've been wanting to see this movie for a while because it looked really good — and it was.

If you don't know, Julie & Julia is about a woman, Julie, who works in a cubical in NYC talking to people about their 9/11 tragedies. She absolutely hates it at work, and finds herself escaping when she goes home and cooks. Most of the time it's from Joy of Cooking (I have that cookbook!) or Mastering The Art of French Cooking. Julie then decides to create a blog and dive into a project in which she cooks all the way through Julia Child's cookbook in one year.

There's also "another story", but it's from Julia Child's era and life. It just shows how the two woman grow and are pretty similar. I won't say anymore because it would ruin the movie. Spend your $8 and go watch it! :P

But, of course, my movie experience can't be perfect; there's always something to destroy it. This time it was the stupid girls who sat behind me and my mom. Apparently one of the girl's phones rang AND SHE ANSWERS IT. Now, my phone went off twice (on vibrate) because I received text messages, but I didn't flip open my phone to check it. So for about 3 minutes she's just talking. And it's not that quiet. She's lucky that she turned it off, otherwise I would have probably screamed at her. If she really had to take the call, please step outside so the rest of us don't need to hear you talk.

Have you seen Julie & Julia yet? If not, what other movies have you seen lately, and did you enjoy it/them? Finally, what are some of your bad movie experiences, like mine with the stupid girl on her phone?
