This blog is purely a productive of my inability to sleep, so I'm warning you, the contents may be lame.
Saw Ocean's Twelve tonight. Big letdown, I'm sad to say. Oh well. Sadly, and this probably doesn't surprise Daniel, I'm not a big Wes Anderson fan (though I was recently at a party where you had to come with a Wes Andersonesque character), so The Life Aquatic holds no hope for me. Who knows, I should probably see it before judging.
In the midst of finals, having finished my big English paper (all nighter, baby!) and looking forward to a take home Theology essay, an open note, open book math exam and the Econ final. All that mixed in with Christmas shopping, Christmas parties, A Christmas Carol, and all things Christmas, and I'm making it through just fine.
Like every English final, I had a desire to make some big statement and prove myself as a scholar. This time, I feel like I missed it a bit. I did too much textual analysis and though I made my point clearly, I just didn't breathe a lot of life into it. Hopefully next semester's Short Fiction Writing class goes well.
As for how this semester has been in general, I'm not quite sure. I definitely feel like all things academic were sort of secondary, which may be reflected in my grades. I just delved into theater and friends a bit more and I guess didn't apply my academic time very well. I don't even know if I regret that or not. I just know that I always start semesters so set on being diligent and that just fades somewhere and I become my normal, unmotivated self. I tried to come back later in the semester, but it might have been too little too late, particularly with Theology. Who knows, maybe I'll do well on the essay.
Wow, this IS lame.
My math teacher told us that actuaries were ranked second in least stressful jobs (with some sort of salary index included). I'm still not sure how I feel about doing that out of college. I mean, I think I might enjoy it, if I wasn't the gofer I was this summer all the time. My boss and the other guys seemed to like what they do. But I'm sure others understand that it's not exactly the dream, you know? I'll have to see if I do it again this summer. Lot of factors in that decision.
Ok, I'm out
