dear tobey,

i was utterly happy last night. guess what i FINALLY got to see?!! LORD OF THE RINGS!!! (the second one). i don't know WHY, but it seems like everybody has this fascination with Legalos, aka. Orlando Bloom. you know, i hate to be such a jerk, but he looks so weird without the wig and elf ears. he's SO cute in the movie! but, when i saw the real pictures of him.. i seriously didn't even recognize him. i was HORRIFIED. not that i'm that shallow or anything, judging people purely on looks. i was just shocked that he looked so different!! i was like.. PUT THE WIG BACK ON!! oh but he is so good looking in the movie. ahh! so good. i just love the character he plays in the movie. i like all the characters in the movie. they are so CUTE. so loyal, devoted. it amazes me. i mean, they are THERE for each other in the worst time of need, and i guess that's one of the reasons i like the movie so much. those characteristics are so what i want. they strive for goodness. (for the main part. heh.) yeah, it was pretty PACKED in there. and OMG. i was sitting next to the most ANNOYING girl EVER! freaking crap. she screamed SO loud. i really wanted to slap her. "ahhh! OH NO! NO! why are they doing that?!! STOP! ahh! NO!" i'm not kidding. she was fully NONSTOP, and clung to her boyfriend at every possibly opportunity. it was disgusting. i don't understand how he could possibly sit through the movie with her! she would scream at the parts that were like.. not even that scary. and trust me, i get scared VERY easily. god, and she was sitting right next to me. it was terrible!!! ack, anyways..

i saw my b�ddie today. one i haven't seen in a while!! it was nice.. you know, to just catch up on things. other then that, i just have been working after all my finals. im so glad it's all over. SO HAPPY! today was pretty busy at work. of course, not as busy as last year, or the year before... so i donno. but everywhere is pretty slow. it's weird? it seems like it's getting worse and worse every year.

next semester, my schedule is as follows: bio 1c, chem 1b, trig, and political science. it's only four classes, but bio and chem both come with labs.. SO! i'll be in class for each of those like 6 hours. my earliest class starts at 9 next semester. so i can actually sleep in a bit. which makes me happy!! and i wont be working weekdays, so i'll have a lot more time to study. so hopefully i can raise my gpa. i just want to be the best at what i'm studying. i donno why? you know how i wrote in those earlier journals my other reasons, but there is yet ANOTHER reason. i want to be the best, because the best is quite simply, the best. i hate being in second place, at school. i truly despise it. i hate B's. because i truly feel that i can do better then that. because if i'm not doing my best, somebody else will. and those people are the ones who reap more benefits. and dammit! i should be one of those people. i want to prove to myself that i can be one of those people, IF I WANT. you know, if ANYONE wants, they could. they just have to have the will. the person who has a strong will, will have their way. well tobey, i've nothing more to dwell on tonight. i'm too tired. i work tomorrow too, so i'll ttySOON!! byebye �.
