rubahI found out that i knew most of the words to somewhere over the rainbow today. This makes sense, because I was half convinced to try out for the school production of the Wizard of Oz back in 11th grade, so I probably learned the song for the auditions (that I didn't go to) I would've been a kick ass glinda.
I've spent a good deal of the week-end AP grinding in ff5. I've got about 5 or so classes mastered per character by now. Mmmm Bal Castle.
Anyways, the week-end was fairly fun, apart from what I just said. Friday night, stu and I continued our quest to find interesting places to eat in Fayetteville, and we found a doozie. Bizys Neighborhood Grill is on the rich side of town (it's in a strip with a Harps that has chandeliers.) We only spent about $20 though! it was nice. They had an open rafter ceiling, modal lighting, crayons and paper on the tables, and a steak/seafood special for $10.
Since we were already on that side of town, we decided to take the highway to Rogers instead of the interstate, well we decided to see if the highway would infact lead to Rogers, and we passed the Botanical Gardens of the Ozarks which looked like it would be interesting in daylight. We made it to Springdale where we were officially back on the beaten path (Well, I was), went through a little Hamlet called Bethel Heights, almost made a left turn on a creepy narrow road, then took the next left for great justice, as it was a road that goes straight by the mall we were hoping to find. It was kinda like that scene in The Long Winter where Laura and Carrie are going home from school in the blizzard and they just barely happen to touch the last storefront of town before being lost on the prairie. Phew.
Anyways, we only went to two stores, since it's more of an outlet mall, where everything is all spread apart and annoying to walk between. 3/4 the time was spent in Sephora, where I finally made purchases (:D), and the rest was spent at Best Buy where I made no purchases, but managed to surprise a clerk by going from dSLRs to touchscreen cameras xD I explained about my need for portable cameras but he still seemed amused xD
I spent a long time playing with the current gen MBP. Oh god, I want one. When I got home, mine felt so thick and clunky. *cries* I love you macbook, I really do, but. . . Your brushed aluminum is getting scratched up, your screen is a little too small, your touchpad doesn't click as well as it used to, and it would be neat to not have a separate button there ;o
I did decide that I will not be getting an MBA if only because the touchpad click button is like 1cm thick. I can't hit that!
Anyways, we came back, and what we did, I don't remember. I probably played ff5 xD
One of those nights, we watched A Beautiful Mind, and it was a wonderful wonderful movie. I could sympathise so much with Nash's character. I don't have schitzophrenia, but I do understand his drive to do something unique, as well as being controlled by your own mind.
I think my classes prospects look pretty good this semester. All five of them will have due assignments, or some sort of accountability, and that does wonders for my study habits. I'll have to bite the bullet and team up with a guy who isn't popular, but I knew last semester I should've done this, so I can't make any excuses. Besides, I am awkward myself, and have no room to avoid him because he's awkward.
I also started thinking about extending my college stay to the five year plan xD There are so many more classes that I'd like to take than I would have time for. I would have to pay for two extra semesters, or however long, but it's tempting. I've e-mailled some people in the Honors college some questions I have, and asked stu and my dad what their thoughts were, but nothing is definite yet. I just had the inspiration when I noticed that one of my critical classes would have to be delayed a year because one prerequisite isn't offered in the spring.
I had a beautiful dream this morning. It involved stu's sister as the princess of Hawai'i, stu as someone approximating Lelouch, and a battle with a sea monster featuring Princess Cornelia.
There was a beautiful open field, cross country bikers, a wedding, and some nakedness and thoughts on the duties of the noble.
