Grab an oar...
Okay, enough of looking at 'The Scream'. More happy, colourful images to follow. Thank you everyone for your supportive comments - I still have no idea what I'm doing, or if I'm doing the right thing, or how long I'll stay with it, but in the meantime just trying to go with it all. Or as best I can, at least, with the constant stream of deadlines and assignments flowing by. I've found that in talking to my classmates, pretty much everyone feels the same way right now (although I'm not sure how many are considering the possibility of dropping out) - so we're all in the same boat. I keep swinging back and forth between whether I should stick it out, and just get through the next 11 months, or if after the next 10 weeks (whose counting?) this isn't for me. So goes the daily pendulum ....
For a treat to myself after last week's ickyness, I purchases 2 things which make me happy - the newest Diana Gabaldon behemoth of a novel, "A Breath of Snow & Ashes", and the new RENT movie soundtrack. Been listening to the soundtrack all weekend and enjoying it, although, being new and slightly revised, some parts sound 'off' ....but I still can't wait to see it onscreen (and to see it again on stage, but at least there is a set date on which I will be able to see it on screen! Stage presents a bit more unknown future date....) Been trying not to read the book too much, and work on essays (been failing a bit there....but I'm trying).
I really like the look of the RENT movie poster ... The cd cover is the same, just the pictures are a bit more cropped. Such pretty colours.... :) Which are also now serving as my screensaver (alternating between this one and the 'countdown' one - yeah, yeah, complete geek/nerd/whatever).

Why Roger got the shaft and the smallest sized pic on the poster, I'm not quite sure, so in an attempt to balance the injustice, here it is, full sized.... :) I'm so happy that the majority of the Original Broadway Cast are reprising their roles for the movie - should be good stuff. I just wish it was November... for one, lots of good movies coming (RENT & Harry Potter), and two, means that this term will nearly be over!

I just got the 2 disc CD myself and that is, IMO, the best song of the lot! I'm pretty excited for November too ... for Harry Potter first and foremost but also for Rent ... although I'm sure it would be more fun to watch the movie with you around. Perhaps over Christmas ...
Hey Carolyn ... a lot of people are feeling as overwhelmed as you are ... even people who aren't in your program at Western (ahemMEahem)! It'll get better soon ... I hope. Keep on dogging it ... I'm here if you'd like to whine to someone ... =) Take care of yourself love!

hey c, glad to hear you're sounding a bit better...even if you're still at sixes and sevens in terms of school. i can't wait til harry potter either; and seeing as i've never seen rent live, i'm kind of in a quandary - see it onscreen first?? or wait until i manage to see it live (when, oh when?!). in any case these are things to be glad of. and i'm happy you're reading a breath of snow and ashes, even on the sly - i only finished it because i was outrageously ill and couldn't do anything else but lie in bed and try to breath, so it was a relieving distraction to immerse myself in jamie and claire's world. miss you girl. hope we hook up soon.
love,
