davetheanalyzer | I'm back to being a night owl again!

It's 4:18 a.m. here and I've been up since seven p.m. Oh well, at least it's vacation for me. I've just finished my finale exams for Psychology and Elements of Composition. I only went over the powerpoints two times before doing the former. I skipped one chapter for the last one, which resulted in me getting a bit nervous as I tried to answer questions pertaining to that chapter. Fortunately, I mostly reined in my panic and finished it after going over it once. My mom and I waited for nearly an hour afterwards to say goodbye to the teacher, who was consulting other students about their progress on the essay. I got a 95.

For the Elements of Composition one, I didn't catch that the date of the exam was an hour later, so I arrived at the usual time. It took a fellow student who consulted someone for me to find out about this and I just surfed online for a bit until I took the finale. It was an essay about how I improved and how I could stili improved. Forunately, I was pretty calm while writing it, so I wasn' t stressed like the time I did the same thing for the midterm. The delay in finishing the story was held up a bit when I pointed out to my teacher that he either didn't post back my essay with the criticisms or mixing it up with the wrong one. In the end, Mom also talked with him and he commented that I usually don't pursue a thread in an essay to the fullest extent. I guess that has to do with my last minute habits that plagued me this semester. I'll have to change that so I'm not just dashing off essays by the time my US history class arrives. That way, I could expand upon certain threads and be a better writer.

I watched Home on the Range, Disney's last 2d film before they decided to switch to 3d (Whether they decide to include both 2d and 3d will be decided later this year with The Princess and the Frog).. I liked it, but I could see why people wouldn't hold it to high esteem. I thought certain parts could have been fleshed out more and Grace could have gotten more screentime. Nevertheless, I love the characters, especially Maggie. I'll have to resist the temptation to RP her, because even part time college is a lot of work.

Also watched Kung Fu Panda, which I also liked. Despite barely getting any screentime, I was pleased with the backstories explained in The Secrets of the Furious Five, since I love character exploration and that satisfied it. I don't see though where Tai Long gets so many of the redeeming moments. It might have something to do with the fact that the move didn't allow for much time for him to speak, but the only time I saw any redeeming qualities in him was when he hesitated in strangling Shifu. I guess it must have been his backstory and that he was so badass.

I'll try to start writing while break lasts. I notice that I keep insisting that I will finish a work and then I barely even contribute much to the OUTLINE, so this might be another disappointment. I'll try to not let that happen, though.

*Turns toward the Jun & Momoe friendship outline with the intent of finishing it*
