Denise is 1!!

So my essay on auteurism of Anthony Mann is due tomorrow. It has to be a minimum of 8 pages. I always find it difficult writing long essays. My essays usually last about 5 to 6 pages depending on the topic. But I hope I can make a longer one for this one. I dont use “professional” words in my essays because to me, its like I’m bullshitting. I basically use regular words that a normal person would say. :bigmouth

Aside from that my sister turned 1 on Saturday. We went to a Chinese Restaurant. I ate right away because I have been craving sushi for the whole week. Yumm…:winktongue Then I got real full so I couldnt eat alot. Pictures will be posted in the photos section after this entry.

That’s it right now and maybe I will blog later once I finish this essay. :smile

edit: I just read my Provance email and it states that i have to comment on my site… Talk about doppelganger?!!:bubble :jump

Stupid Substitute.

Today we got a substitute teacher for Film Studies. I was surprised because our teacher never told us anything about him being away. Next week Tuesday he’s also going to be away. :sowhat At first this substitute was alright. His lectures were easy to understand and not boring compared to the lectures that are given by my regular prof. Then after we watched our daily movie, he started discussing the movie. Everybody in the class had to discuss or say something about it. We never do that with our regular prof so I was definitely surprised. He was asking people questions even though nobody raised their hand up. :slant But before that, we had a 10 minute break before the discussion. I was sitting behind him and as he was getting something from his desk, he looks at me and smiles. I smile back politely then he says “You know you were making alot of sounds in the background during the movie. You really felt the mood of the movie. Congratulations.” Mind you I wasnt really sure whether he said the last 2 sentences but I did hear a sort-of sarcastic congratulations at the end. I’m not sure whether he said that because I got up to go to the bathroom during the movie or because I slept half of the movie. I know that I dont snore… Unless I was snoring during the movie then he heard that then… I’m in shit but I wasnt really sure what he meant by that comment. :confused All I know is that he didnt give me a good vibe and I took it as something rude like “Shut up next time we’re watching a movie” or “Try not to sleep next time”. Anyway back to the discussion. He asked me a question and I answered it wrong. :paperbag Thank god I wasnt the only one that screwed up. :slant But still his questions made people pretty stupid. He didnt know that we never do this in class… So basically I hate the dude. Thank God he wont be our teacher forever. :yuck He’s only in for Tuesday and that’s it.

Aside from that, I bought a new backpack, memory card and sent in my financial forms. I even wrote a note on my hand to do those things. But I forgot to ask them information about the whole financial aid problems how $244 is not enough. Bleh. I think I might stop by tomorrow. :smile
