Registration

Signing up for classes is honestly the most horrible process, if you are lucky enough to find the class you want has a few open sections they are at horrible times. I guess it is a college experience but it is definitely one i can live without

R.I.P. Hard drive

Over break I lost my entire hard drive, and like a lot of other people I know... I didn't back it up. Therefore I lost all my music, my photos(A TON OF PHOTOS), videos, school work/work from the last 4 years, Microsoft Office, and Adobe CS5 programs. It really sucks and it is so expensive to have it recovered and even if it can be recovered not all of it will be there. Moral of the story: back up your computer.

Holding on to things.

I recently got into a fight with a friend and we talked it out immediately cause thats what I like to do. Unless it is a huge fight then I like to have time to calm down before I say things out of anger. So we each spoke our sides and responded. And agreed we were over it. It was a tiny fight about just simply respecting each other's stuff. and we were good... or so I thought. She just doesn't let things go. She brought it all up again yesterday, I restated my argument and she was like ok we are chill... but she said it before... And I am stuck wondering if she is just being oversensitive or drama hungry. She acted like she was the victim when it was my stuff that was stolen and it was her friends that did it. People should just be able to move on better.

A rant about my photo teacher

So we have a 5 print 2 rolls of film project due monday, on top of that we had to watch this french artsy indie flick on last monday about the color blue and there wasn't even that much blue in it. To then find out we have to write a 3 page paper on the use of the color blue next class. The teacher wasn't even there to ask questions, not that we mind that much.... We love the sub.
Also most classes just have a simple 5 print project that is being called their midterm, because we all are gonna be starting our final projects soon. BUT MY CLASS? WE HAVE 5 ROLLS OF FILM AND 10 PRINTS DUE APRIL 2ND. For those non-photo majors, that is a shitton of work. And april 2nd is the day after break which means I will not be having a spring break but will be spending my break in the darkroom.
I hate my teacher so so so so much.

The Doctor's Wife

I am currently re-watching season 6 of Doctor Who that is now on netflix. Currently on the episode called "The Doctor's Wife" where his Tardis(Time/space machine) had it's soul in a human body. This show's original series was created in the 70s and the Tardis and the doctor has been the only really constant subjects. But until now the Tardis and the doctor never spoke, and it makes the episode incredible, the writing is amazing and brings tears every time. They have been each other's only constant companions for 700 years, It's heartbreaking.
The Doctor: I don't understand. Who are you?
Idris: You really not know me? Just because they put me in here?
The Doctor: They said you're dangerous.
Idris: Oh, the cage's stupid.
[Touches her head]
Idris: In here. They put me in here. I'm the...
Idris: What do you call me, ah... We travel. I go
[makes the TARDIS sound]
The Doctor:The TARDIS?
Idris: Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. Yes, that's it. Names are funny. It's me. I'm the TARDIS.
The Doctor: No, you're not. You're a bitey mad lady. The TARDIS is up and downy stuff in a big blue box.
Idris: Yes, that's me. A type 40 TARDIS. I was already a museum piece when you were young. And the first time you touched my console, you said...
The Doctor: I said you were the most beautiful thing I'd ever known.
Idris: Then you stole me. And I stole you.
The Doctor: I borrowed you.
Idris: Borrowing implies the eventual intention to return the thing that was taken. What makes you think I would ever give you back?

Creepy Children

I think it amazing how editing can make children singing a song in a show or movie into something so creepy and terrifying that chills just ran through my body while watching TV. I am really good with bloody scenes, but children singing a creepy tune in those creepy high pitched voices with creepy music freaks me out.
