Time Goes By... So Slowly

I don't know why but it seems as though time really passes by so slowly recently. Yeah, I know, midterms are coming up next week and we've got a TON of requirements needed to be submitted before next week's exams (not to mention Formal Lab Reports and the PE Midterm Exam this week). It just seems as though it took forever for those exams to finally be here. Although, it IS possible that it's only me. My BioChem prof has been constantly reminding the class of how swift the second semester is gonna be (and I certainly don't agree with her).

So, now, I find myself blogging again, after such a long time. A lot has happened over the time that has passed and I don't know why I haven't been writing any posts. Right now, I'm blogging just to get away from doing my Formal Lab Reports... taking a breather.

Why don't I take this opportunity to write a movie review on a film I saw during SocioAnthro class last Tues., 23 January 2007. The movie was entitled The Notebook. We saw it in connection to our lesson on marriage. I was kind of excited at first since a lot of my friends have already been telling me of how it was such a wonderful movie and I was finally going to be able to see it. Alas, as the movie progressed, I found myself eagerly awaiting the end. I found the plot to be pathetic! I didn't find it romantic at all. At the point were the story finished & the granny remembered her life story, I thought that was the end of it all. FINALLY! But I was so wrong... There was still more to come as some twist ruined my glorious moment. Granny gets caught in her disease and forgets everything again... DARN! That was all I could say. Finally, the real ending came where the couple died together. They lay in a hospital bed, holding each other's hands. HALLELUJAH! The surprise came to me when I looked around the class and saw how everyone seemed to have shed a lot of tears... and I mean EVERYONE! I wish I had cried too, at least that would have meant that I have been touched by the story but NO.... I was the only one in the room with a dry eye. Not even a tiny tear fell. haay. Not a good movie for me.
