Not too much is new

I've come to the conclusion that three hours is simple TOO LONG for a class. Seriously...I cannot concentrate on one person talking for that long. I have one class a week that is three hours and two that are 2 and a half hours and I really tend to block out the lecture by the last 30 mins/hour.

That's kind of the extent of my life lately...spending lots of time in class. And doing a lot of reading for my classes. I really don't have any exciting stories to share at this point. One exciting thing, though, is that I've taken up jogging. And so far (a whole week), I'm actually sticking to it. The reactions to that fact have included to "barf"s and this guy that I barely know sending me an email that essentially said, was that you the crazy girl running in the fucking rain on Saturday morning? In my defense, it wasn't actually raining. Is it really that crazy? To be perfectly honest, with the exception of the reminder of how out of shape I am, I really enjoy jogging. It's a good time to think...and if you really get into your thoughts, the physical exertion part kind of gets lost and you get into a flow. I think it's had a very calming effect on me, which I'm hoping will translate into spending less time worrying about all the stuff I need to do and more time just doing that stuff. And if I need to agonize (and organize and prioritize), I can do that while I'm running.

I've also been going to kind of a lot of movies. I went to a movie called The Notebook last Friday. No, not the cheesy love story. It's an Iranian movie about this little girl and her attempt to go to school. Then I went to There Will be Blood on Saturday. And this week is the festival of Iberian and Latin American cinema, so I went to see The Devil's Backbone on Tuesday, I'm going to see Made in L.A. today, and I think I'm gonna go see The Week that my Parents went on Vacation on Saturday. It's kind of craziness. Oh, and this weekend is also the weekend of cinema and most of the theaters in town are only charging 3,50 for movies. Wow. but I was talking to Florence about it and she said she doesn't usually go cuz it's SO crowded. But I' might try to catch a movie with Flo if we get enough homework done on Saturday (hahaha).

And there you go a little update. Sorry I haven't really been blogging all that much...I feel like there's not much to say.

Biz.
