Oh, snap!

Heeeeey. So, not only am I back in the old U. S. "Still cooler than Cambodia" of A., I'm back on campus. Holy hell. More adjusting, and I've had fucking homework to do all week long. I've forgotten what that's like, homework. Real, actual, I-have-to-sit-down-now-for-a-couple-hours-and-try-and-relearn-Italian kind of shit. It's been a long week already, and it's only Wednesday. The weekend is going to be really great, though, because it's three days long and I've got plans for Friday and Saturday. Exciting. But mostly, I just can't wait to sleep forever. This semester is going to beat me back into shape though, as far as actual studying goes. I think I'm going to have a lot to do, between the three different English classes I have, and then with Italian and the Italian art history class... yeah. It's gonna be fun. And I mean that in both a literal and sarcastic manner. In other news, I am in love with my living arrangements. For once I didn't get screwed over. New Hall (so creatively named) is a little more expensive, but it's apartment style and it's worth it. Who freaking cares if I never see my roommates? I'm not paying to make friends, I'm paying for my own room, and for a nice kitchen and bathroom. And CLOSET SPACE. Hallelujah. What? What am I listening to right now, you ask? Well, let me tell you! Mostly Damien Rice, Rufus Wainwright, and assorted soundtracks. RahXephon and Crouching Tiger, but also some of The Life Aquatic, Charlie Brown, and Jen has me listening to Rent and other lovely broadway tracks. So. There's some nice variety in there. I also recently saw Memoirs of a Geisha, and I really enjoyed it. I love the book, and although it's not entirely true to it (but when is a movie ever, really?), I think that they captured the essence of it well enough. There were parts of the book, little details here and there, that I really wanted to see in the movie that weren't but I guess I'll get over it eventually. Also saw Brokeback Mountain. It was great, just like everybody is saying. Lots of hot man on man action. I'm also hearing a lot of, "Well, it wouldn't be so critically acclaimed if it wasn't about two gay guys." Well, duh. It's 2:11 and I feel like I should try and get some homework done so I'm not up until fucking 1:30 in the morning again, staring blindly at my Prego book and seriously considering becoming a mime for the rest of my life. I've also got to buy my books (that should be interesting) and finish up this whole "settling in" phase once and for all. I want somebody to massage my back, too. It's been hurting. I'm so dainty.
