I was toying with the idea of UCLA and USC, but outside of my horrendously long list of schools I decided against it. I want to work in Theatre before film, and while I can do both in LA, the theatre scene there is abysmal.

Besides, I hate LA. That's what I get for growing up in Northern California despite being forced to spend my formative years in Orange County. LA is like another world and Sarajevo would probably feel more like home.

Tonight I will hopefully finish a rough draft of my Personal Statement (have I even started? No.), a rough draft of my play (75 pages and counting!), print out copies of my two short stories, and begin compiling the LoR packets for my 3 recs.

Off-topic but awesome:
The Stanford Theatre's 20th Anniversary has begun and they are showing the best of the best films. I'd suggest checking it out.

I guess this post needs some pictures and color, so let me toss that in as well:






so long, off to do work &hearts

The Weekend

Friday was movie day. After not seeing anything in theatres for more than a month I saw Where the Wild Things Are in the morning
">
(I loved it)

met up with one of my advisers and had coffee and chit-chatted for a few hours and then saw Paranormal Activity with Catherine who spent the night.

Well...that was scary. Though I know how it could have been scarier. But to say how would be to spoil the ending.
Anyway, after that we were freaked, so the logical conclusion to the day was to watch The Descent at midnight.

Saturday, Catherine and I woke up early and went over to Libby and Amy's place for mimosas and breakfast before Oktoberfest. Between the four of us we had ohhhh 2 bottles of champagne. Amazing. Then took the hour long bus ride to get to downtown Campbell. Total buzzkiller, but it wasn't horrible. We got there and had lunch, during which the sausage I was eating exploded on both me and a random passerby. It was awkward and Praise Jesus that I never have to see that person again. Wandered around all the stalls and tried so much fudge that my teeth started to hurt. I finally made it back home around 7:30.











I've been chilling all day. I meant to paint, then bake, go to the gym or at least take a shower and I have done none of that. I guess sometimes you just need to take a break.
