Storm on the Horizon
Yaii!!! The exam timetables are out.
'nuff said.
Well, ok, not really. I have to say, this'll be the first time I'm finishing up my semester so EARLY. In fact, I'll be free by the end of the 2nd week of June. How cool's that? Except of course this means my exams are much earlier than before...which means cramming and all that sh*t.
So, with all the essays, websites, take-home exams and exams that are arriving soon, what am I doing? Yep, You guessed it. I've been fooling around on Facebook. This is, of course, a form of de-stressing that doesn't actually work.
OH NOOOOO. I have exactly 11 minutes to blog before NCIS starts on TV. After which I'll be hooked for the next two hours. Don't bother contacting me during that time cuz I'll be blind and deaf to the world, hahahah!
This morning, after a night filled with editing and previewing and adjusting html on my bloody bright screen, I woke up from the dead to go to Uni and read Legal Theory. It wasn't an entirely wasted session, but what I can tell you is that I am SO NOT a morning person. Even if I sleep early the night before. My switch isn't flipped yet, not until after lunch. I guess I should be thankful, then, that both my exams are in the afternoon. X)
Oh, I have something else to vent.
Why is it that people bring their subjective assumptions about movies onto other movies that aren't even related? And thus miss out on a totally fulfilling movie experience? Take Transformers. So many people were like dismissing it for being a children's film and blah-de-immature-and-blah. Why can't people just take a movie at face value, and give it chance? Instead of shoving each movie into stereotypical pigeonholes, why can't people approach movies with an open mind? I hate it when people form assumptions about movies and dismiss them before that particular movie has had a chance to entertain them.
It's not all that important, you'll tell me, whether people make presumptions about movies and dismiss them or approve of them accordingly. Yeah, ok, granted that's pretty true. BUT if people carry over these presumptions and apply them to people instead, it becomes a whole new ball game. This is the arena where misconceptions such as "blondes are dumb" and "chihuahuas are for girls" and "people who wear specs and are smart are nerds" come from.
To presume something about someone is, to me, one of the saddest occurrences in the world. Because when you do that, you lose a potential friend, and you disregard a person's multi-dimensional nature as well. I mean, how would YOU feel if someone else viewed you as a cardboard cut-out?
Thus, in conclusion: Iron Man is NOT Transformers. Narnia is NOT The Dark Is Rising. Spiderman is NOT Batman. Go on, you. Start off with a clean slate and start discovering movies you never knew you'd ever like. ;) I DARE you.
...is what I said. Savvy?
