New news!

Ok, well to be honest this entry's title is rather misleading because it makes you think the new news will be exciting when in truth it really isn't. I read a book (procrastination mixed with an inability to sleep), I had a movie night with our neighbours who I fall more and more in love with each time we go over (plus they ordered an excellent pizza last night, I would write an ode to that pizza and sing it except for the fact that I can't sing or write music), and I have been working diligently all day today on my 15 page dossier for civilisation class on chocolate. I tell you though, the eating part I definitely get and am a fan of, but the whole writing part is boring as all heck: so dull. I am probably on page 10 right now. 5 pages left, thank goodness. I am going to try and finish it tonight so I can get the neighbours to correct the minor mistakes before handing it in.

Yesterday I had my oral exam. My topic that I drew was on cigarettes and smoking...I sincerely hope my teacher is a non-smoker because I basically told him I hate the habit because it is horrible and disgusting. I was blunt Mel yesterday. (A)

Lastly, just a couple of comments:
1) The movie I saw last night was a Truffaut film (he is a big French producer of past) called "Les deux anglaises". I have never watched a movie where after it was done a sentiment of complete saddness and lack of hope came over me. It is seriously a complex movie and I would have to watch it again to actually get everything that happened in it. But so good.

2) My book "Citizen Girl" is by the authors of "The Nanny Diaries". Good book and rather disturbing; it is written in a feminist approach but underneath that it is amazing to see just how the economy and business works...so complicated. The politics of this world are ruthless. I think though my favourite part was when the authors explicitly showed how crazy the fashion and beauty industries are now.

Hahahaha, ok well that was the procrastination and extending of my break...gotta get back to attacking this crazy assignment. Hope you are all enjoying your summer vacations!
