Moonie's Ramblings

[Prof. Moonie]

Good morning everyone.

Looks like Z is up to her NickxEllis post creating business again. xd  

[Prof. Moonie]

I'm currently collecting various info for an essay I'll have to write towards the end of the term for my Movies class. I know it's sort of funny that I'm starting with the last essay I have to do rather than the first one... but it'll be good to get a head start with it.

I'm writing my essay on the Star Trek (2009) film. Mostly going to focus on the diversity of the crew members of Enterprise and the diversity among the cast members for the show/film. 3nodding

I think it's going to turn out to be a good essay.  

[Prof. Moonie]

It's sort of cool getting to read more about the history behind the Star Trek series after growing up watching the series when I was a little girl. biggrin  

[Prof. Moonie]

Well, I'm heading off for lunch/school. Talk to you tomorrow.  

[Prof. Moonie]

Good evening everyone. smile  

[Prof. Moonie]

Read "To A Louse" by Robert Burns aloud today in my 19th Century Literature class - a poem written in Scottish-English dialect. Guess I did such an excellent job reading it, since my teacher and classmates were extremely impressed. Got a big applause from everyone, got comments continuously throughout the day, and even some of my classmates wishing I could have read some of Burns' other poems. ^.^

*finishes reading the latest of Ame's now-locked thread where she revealed the almost-certain gender of her baby* Holy smokes... I'm glad I actually missed all of that business that went down. surprised eek Sure, there's a part of me that feels a bit bad that a lot of people ganged up and bashed on one person. But then the more dominant side of me (in this situation) is understanding of why the whole debate took place.

*shakes head* But that's their business, not mine. Just... intriguing.  

[Prof. Moonie]

It's always interesting reading arguments between two people. Sometimes I wonder if those involved in the issue take a step back during the argument and realize how unnecessary it is. Especially when it's over a small little thing. *shrugs* Who knows...  

[Prof. Moonie]

Anyway, back to more happier things...

This afternoon, the English Department had a reception party. Originally it was described as being a gathering of English Department teachers, staff, and English majors to meet each other and learn about the resources in the area, while enjoying some finger food.

It ended up being just a couple of hours where teachers, staff, and students of the English department gathering and talking about various English related topics, while enjoying food, cake, and waiting for the raffle drawing to win a book.  

[Prof. Moonie]

Not that I'm saying the gathering party whatever was bad. I actually enjoyed my time chatting more with some fellow classmates and teachers I have. Though at times I felt like I was teaching my teachers things, than them teaching me about stuff. sweatdrop

Anyway, originally when I was e-mailed about the event. I was all like - "Oh... I don't know if I want to go." Then when one of my classmates asked me on whether I was going or not, I said I wasn't sure but might just swing by for a few minutes to see what it is about. In the end, I ended up spending the full time there. xd

*takes sip of her Blackberry milkshake*

It's from when my parents and I went out for dinner yesterday, after being at my Grandma's putting primer on the carport and going to the dump to take care of the junk that's been laying around my Grandma's place from both our remodeling project(s) and just stuff they've been collecting over the years that obviously they're not going to use again. xd

I got so full from the burger, sweet potato fries, and caramel sundae, that I couldn't drink more of my milkshake. So I saved it and have slowly been working on drinking it throughout today. Probably won't finish it today either.  

[Prof. Moonie]

*watches various preview clips for the new HP movie* Oh my goodness! surprised This movie looks like it's going to be totally awesome! biggrin

Still trying to think of what I'll do for the second part of the 7th movie. A reprise of a previous costume? A new costume of the foreign students (Beauxbatons or Durmstrang)? Or a cosplay of adult, professor, etc.? *shrugs* I really have no idea right now.  

[Prof. Moonie]

Going to finish watching the last two Sneak Peek features of HP 7.1... then I'm going to bed.

So I'll go ahead and say nighty night to y'all. 3nodding  

[Prof. Moonie]

Good morning. biggrin  

[Prof. Moonie]

Going to go take a shower. And then start working on my homework. 3nodding

Got some reading to do for my 19th century literature, Shakespeare, and Movies class. And a CR to do for both 19th c. ((if there's something I feel like writing about on the pieces we're assigned)) and Movies. 3nodding

And then if I'm finished with those before it's time for me to leave for class, I'll probably finish collecting notes from the one Star Trek oriented resource I was looking at yesterday. Then start looking for articles/resources for my Environment and Human Life project, since we'll have to do some stuff for that pretty soon. 3nodding
