"Don't Speak" by No Doubt was released when I was 10. I'm 31 now...
Before I start, just want to make a quick note that I'm still listening to the Wonder Woman score on a loop. I have been since I got home to write yesterday's treatise, (seriously, I don't know whether to apologize or just laugh). So yeah, I'm liking the score, or maybe it's just the constant use of the theme.
Anyways, tomorrow is the first day of school! YAY! I've lost count of how many of these "firsts" I've had, regardless, tomorrow is the first day of the last 8 weeks at my current school. Once that's done, it's on to who knows what. No seriously, I have no real idea what I'm doing after 8 weeks. Ok, well not really, or not entirely. I've got a few ideas, a couple things cooking, but nothing concrete. I'm just expecting myself to have to work harder and be stronger in order to survive whatever may come my way.
So yeah, I have a biology class in the morning on campus, then about 5 mins to have lunch, then it's off to work for a semi-full visual shift. Basically, I'm out of the house around 9 am, and back at the house a little after 9 pm. It's going to be a LONG day, and while I'm going to complain about it the WHOLE time, I actually really enjoy these types of days. I'm that weirdo who likes having a fully planned out and packed day. It makes me feel as if I am actually doing something with my life, or it gives me a sense of validation, in that my hours are not being wasted. The only problem with that is if I plan out too many of those types of days in a row, I burn out really easily. I can maybe do 7 or 8 straight days of a full burn (with at least 6-7 hour of sleep, please), but by day 8 I'm no good to anyone. Mind you, I'm complaining the whole time, because as we have learned- I complain about EVERYTHING, and honestly I think that's part of my charm and that is only because my complaints hold no water. Not my most endearing quality, but I'll take it.
Speaking of planning and endearing qualities. I've managed to map out and plan my next 3 months of movie viewing. TCM in partnership with Fathom Events has been showing classic movies on the big screen throughout the year. This is something they've been doing for a while actually. For Christmas, I bought my mom and I a year pass, essentially a ticket for every showing of all the movies, and while we've missed 2 movies so far (The Graduate and Smokey and the Bandit, only because I just saw the former for my film class last year, and had no real desire to see the latter). So with those movies in the movie watching pipeline, and with another local theater showing a number of other classic films, I've got the next 3 months all planned out.

Not a bad list huh? Now I've seen some of these, and a few will be brand new to me, and I absolutely love that.
Also, take note the lack of major modern Hollywood motion pictures in that list. Other than Wonder Woman, Justice League, and Star Wars, there's really nothing else I'm SUPER pumped for. There are a few movies later this winter that I may brave the cold for (hey, this Miami girl is still cold, even now during summer). But until they are actually in theaters, I'm not going to make much of a fuss over them (or write my magnum opus).
In the meantime, I'll try to continue posting on a daily basis, with classes and work, I may need to use this as a means to unload some things going on in my head. I'll probably try to keep things vague and hold news close to the vest, but for now, this is what will work.
I really want to see Wonder Woman again. I'm concerned that my views of the film are falling in line with what happened with Rogue One. Hmm.. it's an interesting notion. But seeing that between school and work, my only day off in the next 3 weeks is this Friday, I don't see myself finding the time to see it again. I know, sad pandas. But I really need to get my oil changed on Friday.
Ok, on that note I'm going to call it a night, get ready for bed, and sleep until my marathon of a day tomorrow.
I'll leave you with No Doubt's 1996 hit Don't Speak. Only because iTunes thought it was a great song to follow the Wonder Woman score, Gotta love shuffle/genius play. I don't get these algorithms.
