Today was much more exciting than yesterday. I felt like I went through about 3 days in a span of 6 hours. Went to bed late doing some reading after another screening of Avatar in true IMAX 3D which is infinite times better than what any other theater puts up and calls IMAX. Unfortunately, there were little bugs appearing on the screen which resembled bedbugs, but I didn't see them myself, but I freaked out a bit. Just for a bit. The true IMAX screen is literally four times bigger than the screen set up in the AMC theaters. No lie. In the medium shot scenes I felt like I was in the moment. Absolutely great picture. The story lacked a little more this time around because I knew what was going to happen but when the emotional times came along, I was so into it. Okay. So, Avatar promotion done.
Woke up and did some more reading, then I headed out to buy a recorder for my voice class and ran up to my orientation at Discovery. We had a national orientation, so basically, conference calling. Pretty cool, nonetheless. Forgot my paperwork so I'm running back to Jersey tomorrow to get it, after I get my resume critiqued and in the 2010 Resume Book at Wasserman. Rush rush rush. All in a New York minute. Things have been so continuously hectic even though I don't have class til the afternoon and I haven't gotten a part-time job yet. Wow. Where did my life go?
Anyways, today was an interesting marketing class. I thoroughly enjoy this class, not just because the instructors are nice, but because they're actually working in the field they're teaching, and they LOVE it. Makes me wish I were passionate about something. I mean, there's a girl in the class, I forgot her name, she commits herself to non-profit organizations in non-genocide groups and environmental protection. She's so passionate about everything she talks about, it's just evident in her voice. My passion? Current status? Nothing. That's a goal for the next 10 years. Find what I'm passionate about.
After, had a nice dinner/talk with Hoolie and we reflected on our college careers. She seemed to have found a direction for the moment. We both realized there's a lot more to learn. I also need to find inspiration for the moment. Get through the next few years somehow. Right?
What inspires you?

The last.
So, today is the day I depart back to school for the last semester of my undergraduate career. I have to say I learned more about myself rather than anything in the classroom. Huh. I can't wait to see what next semester brings-well, hopefully good memories but I'm sure there will be bad ones too. I've read a few books this winter break, but not what I wanted to get through because of Super Mario and Call of Duty. They're addicting games, I must say. Got to see Avatar (which is now my favorite movie) and Sherlock Holmes amongst many other films and I think I enjoyed it. Films are fun. Kind of. I've learned a lot about the superficiality in people and the existence of this in my family. It's actually been quite a productive break even though half of the time I just shmooze around.
Discovery is right around the corner and I've never been more excited to work for free. Well, because I'm working for no pay, I think I'll go find a part-time job. I'm sure only retailers will hire me. Womp. What can I do? It's all I have on my stupid resume. School starts on Tuesday and I already have a buttload of reading due on Wednesday for my marketing class. I don't know how I feel about that, I don't want to concentrate too much on this class and take away from my Senior requirements. We'll see how the first day goes.
I want to do something I love. I don't want to end up unhappy in a cubicle. Hopefully this semester will shed some light as to which direction I should take.

Gearing for the End.
So, it's almost time for school to start again, on Tuesday, and my job to start the following Monday. Time to get back to real life, right? I've been so bored anyway. It's just been, in all seriousness, playing house. My mother left last Wednesday and in that time, I've washed an uncountable number dishes and about 5 loads of laundry. I sleep late so I wake up late and the errands that should be done in the morning get done in the afternoon. I just remembered I forgot to go to Costco to help my mom do a price exchange. Womp. I can do it Saturday before I leave. We went last Saturday to do it, but the line was too long. People just love Costco. I should stop by to buy some food/drinks for school. I am a Costco lover.
Went snowboarding again yesterday at Blue Mountain with a different group of people. Much better I believe, buddy system. I learned to carve. Now, I just need time to practice. Too bad I'm going back to school on Saturday or I'd do another day. Mike and Susie are carving beasts. I love watching them snowboard. If I were an avid camera fiend, all my pictures would be them tearing up the mountain.
That day was also my first encounter with one of the most reckless drivers on the road. Pennsylvania drivers are worse than New Jersey drivers. I can say that from the 3 hours I was in Pennsylvania on Monday. This one guy zooms ahead of me and then suddenly slams on his brakes, screeching and smoke comes off the ground. I had to slam on my brakes even though I was a good distance away. He freaked me out and I was shaking for a good half hour. This asshole was smiling after this while tailgating me right after. I passed him when I slammed on my brakes into the shoulder of the road. Since when are accidents a laughing matter? I hope he got in one on Monday, he deserves it. Then after, he was flailing around Route 78 on the middle of the road. What is that?! Revoke his license. Terrible. Then another woman was tailgating me, so close that if I tapped my brakes when she blinked, she would crash into my car. Tell me Pennsylvania is a good place to drive. I hate Pennsylvania.
I'm supposed to go to Mitsuwa tomorrow with a friend. I don't know if it's happening. We both sleep late, but I want Japanese food. It's in Fort Lee and I haven't been for a few years. If anyone has a chance to go to Fort Lee, Mitsuwa is worth visiting.
Going back to school on Saturday to settle in and figure out my schedule, where to go, what to do, grocery shopping, all that fun stuff. My lovelies are mostly all in New York already. I foresee another semester of hardcore studying. I don't know why I challenge myself so much with some classes. Looking forward to Discovery and graduation! Finally done with school. Well, for the meantime. I'll go back for my Masters or MBA sometime in the future.
I just felt like updating since I have nothing really to do. I lied, going to do laundry now. I forgot about it.
This is my last winter break... ever.
