Lo Siento

If I can be perfectly honest, I feel as if I am going to faint.

Not only is it mid-terms week, but this week registration opens for the fall semester AND I have to sign up for summer session classes AND do a bunch of paperwork for next year AND work.

So as you can see, I haven't had time to watch some films.

Well, technically I have, but somehow I don't think any of you would be interested in watching anything about the United States' position during WWI.

I've been a busy monkey, and this monkey is very tired, and just wants to watch British television again.

Thankfully, I will be visiting other parts of the country over spring break, so I will try and see a movie while I am busy being an educated traveler!

Until then, shoot me a comment about a movie in theatres that you've seen and I will see if I can watch it!

Adios,

your movie mogul

School Hates Me

There is no one I am seeing. I am not dating anyone, nor have any romantic/cutesy/nauseatingly flirtatious conversations with anyone at the moment.

But I feel as if I am married to my homework.

Seriously! I never have a free moment. It's almost as if the world is putting me through a mini test to see if I will break. But being the thespian I am, I have survived various amounts of tech weeks and it was NOTHING compared to this.

I will not break.

I will try to sleep instead!

So if you are curious as if I am going to write a new review, YES! I will when I have a free moment. Do not despair!

Los Examenes

I find that studying for finals is a lot like being in a romantic relationship. One minute you're determined to make things work out for you, the next you can't even look at them, and then you start crying because it's just TOO hard.

Yes, that is exactly how I feel right now. Especially when I have to write 4 papers in a week!!

But whenever I am in a relationship, I try to keep the sobbing to minimum.
Unless it's tears of joy, in which case, I can cry ALL I want.

ANYWAYS,something refreshing about college is that no one judges you for using the homework excuse. It's pretty amazing actually! In high school, I made myself a bit of a hermit that way. Even if I didn't have a lot of homework, I was always doing a show, which made it impossible to make plans with anyone anyways.

Either way, I was determined to be forever alone.

 Just kidding!

Sort of...

These next few weeks will be a test for me as I maneuver my way through various stages of paranoia with the burden of exams looming over my shoulders. I'll survive, but at the end I am TOTALLY going to a fancy bakery and buying myself a super rich brownie as reward for becoming slightly psychotic.

Butter up!

There are very few things in life that are good covered in butter.
1. Cornbread- not just the stuff you get from the box, I mean ''OLD FASHIONED like your Nana makes it"recipe
2. French bread- it just makes you feel fancy
3. Fresh Green beans- again, FRESH. Not the nasty stuff that comes frozen from the grocer. EW.
4. Shrimp- if it's covered in a lemon butter sauce.
5. Popcorn- after all, I AM a movie enthusiast. What's a good show without some munchies? ;)

So being the little chef I am, I attempt #4. I thought this is simple enough. I can definitely do this! My mother will be so impressed. 

No, she will not be impressed.

Why?

Because it was the worst recipe ever. I have the WORST luck with making dinner, but am completely okay when I make desserts.
I figured that I needed to sharpen the skills so I can be a fashionable young adult, hosting dinner parties, living in the city, cute clothes galore, with a fancy boyfriend to accompany me to aforementioned parties.

No
No
No
NONE of that will happen any time soon.

This recipe was SOOOO greasy. I could feel my arteries clogging when I took the first bite. *gags* And I didn't have the big shrimp the recipe called for so I just used about 50 mini ones, like the salad sized ones that you can get in an economy sized bag from Costco.

Never.
Ever.
Ever.
Again.

Worst idea ever. I'm just going to watch my mother cook and hope I inhale some wisdom while I sniff the aromas. Until then, I'm going to stuff myself with desserts.

Red Rose Revelation

Last week I had the privilege of going to a themed wedding! It was quite honestly the best theme I will probably encounter in my whole LIFE. What was the theme, you might ask? PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.

This reception was magnificent! There were roses everywhere, a red carpet, masks, and the best part: IT WAS ON A STAGE. That's right, a theatre stage!

I was in shock the whole time I was working this wedding. Being a die-hard thespian, this was a sign that I needed to get back into the swing of things!
I've had to take a break from acting because of some health problems and the ones of, ya know....COLLEGE.
Needless to say, I miss being onstage quite dearly. Seeing all of my friends in shows and acting their hearts out, broadcasting their talent, makes my quivering actress heart break.
Who knows?! Maybe one day I can make it as a hot shot producer or something!
I hope I can get back to being in show business soon! But for now, I'll listen to film scores while I finish my homework :)
