My mind feels like it’s going in eight direc­tions at once. I have so much shit to think about, exams, fail­ing courses, reg­is­tra­tion, projects, hol­i­day plan­ning, that it’s hard for me to keep track of where I’m going. I even­tu­ally had to force myself to for­get about every­thing except for my exams and my final project.

I spoke to a prof about a final project today. He didn’t give me a straight answer, but sug­gested that I think about it first. He seemed a lit­tle put down by the fact that not many peo­ple choose him as a super­vi­sor. I imag­ine that it’s because he really makes his stu­dents work for the project, instead of recy­cling old projects, caus­ing him to be feared, instead of revered.

All my rides are work­ing out per­fectly for the hol­i­day. I’m get­ting a ride down with Thom, and a ride up with Aaron, instead of John. John’s going to be com­ing up on the third, and going back on the sev­enth. I can’t FUCKING WAIT.

I watched Human Nature with Aaron. I enjoyed it. A lot. Charlie Kaufman never ceases to amaze me. I felt the actors each had the per­fect look for the movie, from Patricia Arquette’s unique beauty, to Rhys Ifans aloof­ness and demeanour, to Miranda Otto’s perky face, and to Tim Robbin’s stereo­typ­i­cally curly hair and facial fea­tures. It’s not quite a movie that I’d pur­chase, but defi­nately one that I’d like to watch again, if not for the sub­tleties of the monologue/dialogue, then for the com­plex­i­ties of the rela­tion­ships involved. I don’t think Spike Jonze could have done a bet­ter job at direct­ing it than Michel Gondry.
