Sunday Night Blabber

Here I am, the night before I return to classes. Or at least that's what I think. Because, listen to this, apparently we were supposed to put our names to the group lists for our Language Practice class. Did someone tell me? No. Did someone put my name on it when that someone was putting everyone else's name on it? No. It seems like at this point I am no longer the part of my study group. It took 4 days last week to be forgotten. Thanks a lot. Anja's name is not there either. Don't you just love "friends"? So tomorrow morning I might find myself in a group with people I've never seen before even though the sole reason I decided to listen to some classes from the 2nd year was to not lose touch with the people from my study group. Why, I wonder now. Anyway, back to classes tomorrow it is. I'm thinking I'll be posting more regularly once my routine is back to... well, routine.
I just saw "Grosse Pointe Blank" again. First of all, a great fucking movie. Second of all, John Cusack in it? H.O.T. Unlike "1408". He should lose some weight nowadays. Not that I don't like him anymore. He's still awesome, don't get me wrong, just not hot. 'Tis all I'm saying.
Tomorrow morning it'll be below zero. That's in Celsiuses, not Fahrenheits. I have nothing to wear. No, really. I have a jacket that is what? 3 years old? Or something and I fucking hate it. Cuz I might have liked it the moment I bought it but that liking is long gone. And it feels kinda silly to wear a coat. Not that it is much better, it's like 5 years old, I think. Am I jealous of my sister being able to buy herself clothes any time she feels like it? Sure. Can I ask my parents for expensive items such as jackets and shoes every year? No. So yeah, I often look like someone with no taste whatsoever but a lot of times it's that way just because my clothes is outdated. What can you do, right?
I'm sort of dreading and looking forward to going back to Uni. I'm taking another class by my last year's lit professor. The one with weird accent coming from the time he spent living in Texas, I think. Seriously, a Croatian with that accent... Just... no. Not to mention his tendency to act out what we read about. Oh yeah. Last year we watched him act out the fight of Tarzan and an ape. Trust me, you do not want to see that man acting like an ape. Now that I think about it, I'd like to know what are we going to read this year. Just to prepare myself. I fear it will not be pretty.
Finally, I have to say my thank you's to Darth Sardonic and Blogget Jones for awarding me with a "Blogs That Make me Smile" award. Yes, both of them. I'm incredibly touched and honoured. Especially since it came from the two people who, unlike me, really can write. Not to mention that I've never ever been awarded for my writing before. For my boobs yes, for my writing no. *snicker* So THANK YOU, Darth and BJ, you have both made my day.
Now I should pass that award along so here goes: to Lindy - because her confessions make me laugh out loud and often feel like I'm not that weird after all, to WFW - because hers is the first blog I got hooked on and it keeps making me smile for almost a year now, to Darth - because the first post I ever read on his blog made me laugh out loud and I simply had to e-mail it to my friends, to Sgt - because he makes me smile and to BJ - because she lets me know we're all neurotic in the same way.
So, wish me luck tomorrow, my virtual friends, since I get no help from my "real" ones.

Heroes & Cowards

I'm getting quite irregular with this blogging thing, aren't I? Do you miss me? lol Well, just in case anyone was wondering where I was, I've been watching Heroes. Frankly, I think I got addicted to it. That's one hell of a show and why I've waited this long to see it, I'll never know. Yesterday I saw 9 episodes. Yes, nine. I simply had to catch up with the season two. Don't you just love the shows that keep you on your toes? I wasn't going to watch 9 episodes yesterday, really. But as I would get to the end of the each one I saw, the cliffhangers were just to tempting and I simply had to carry on. That, and I obviously had nothing better to do yesterday. Anyway, can't wait for the new episode. (Like I really needed another show to watch.)

I'm scared. Of going back to classes on Monday. Even if it is only two classes I'm gonna be taking. I dreamt of being back last night (my mind is troubled by it, obviously) and I dreamt of Maja telling me I was supposed to read "Banket u Blitvi" (it's a novel by one of our great writers, Miroslav Krleža that I've never read nor are we going to be reading it this year - it's a really weird choice, brain!) for the next class and that I shouldn't worry cuz it's only 6pgs long. Anyway, I wonder what it's going to be like and I wonder if I'll be able to do better this year. I hope I will.

Selfish

What I am about to say is horrible. Awfully selfish. Human.
Anja told me she's gonna have to redo the year too. I'm sorry she didn't pass the exam but my God, am I relieved I'm not gonna be alone! OK, be appalled now. I'm way to busy being relieved and just a tiny bit happy with the fact that when I get to the 2nd year I'll have at least one good friend with me and not just the idiots *coughNikolinacough* to care about what you think anyway.
Sorry, Anja. I know you'll read this. *ashamed*

Lost In Translation

I haven't posted in a while. No, I didn't get me a life or anything. I got me more computer toys. lol You know how I have flat rate Internet, right? So naturally, I've been busy watching lots of movies I've been wanting to see forever. But that's not all. I don't need subtitles, obviously, but people around me do, so I was looking for them but often the timing is off or they're full of nonsense. For instance, how does someone translate "Your feet..." with "You're trembling" is beyond me. It bugs me, of course. Then I asked a friend if there was a way to fix the timing and I ended up with all these programs for creating subtitles, fixing subtitles, translating subtitles... So for the last two days I've been fixing the subtitles for "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" because Sonja hasn't seen it and the subtitles simply suck. Who ever translated it, has translated "Frank and Alice Longbottom" as "including his daughter too". ???????????!!! Not to mention the translation of spells and names. It was funny at first, but that movie is 2h16min long. I still have 25 minutes of subtitles to fix. Nothing is funny anymore.
Honestly, I watched "Live Free or Die Hard" today subtitlesless and I loved it. lol Btw, isn't it sad that I watched "Sin City", "Little Children" and "Die hard 4" and liked "Die Hard 4" the most? lol Why yes, I am that shallow. Or simply in touch with my inner man.
Uni situation is still quite unclear. I do not know whether I'll be allowed to take some classes from the 2nd year or not and I will not know till the end of the month. In the mean time I'm expected to attend said classes just in case. Luckily, the ones I picked out are held on Mondays. So it would be one day a week only.

Making Memories Of Us

... because it's simply beautiful. That's all.

Late

As I was on my way to the store this morning, somewhere around 9, I heard a rooster crowing. And I'm thinking: Dude, if I'm already up, you're way late for work.

Here We Go Again

Well, I went to the Uni today. I met a girl who is in the same situation as I am and she told me she was told we're supposed to go to the first lectures from the second year and then ask the professors if we could listen to them. But then I was told i only had to fill out form to ask to be allowed to listen to the lectures I chose, without having to ask the professors anything. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this girl gave me th wrong information. Oh no. It's just an example of how four people in the same office will tell four students four different things. It's like they make up rules and regulations as they go along. And each of them make up their own. It's never boring at my Uni, I can tell you that.
I'm gonna be missing my friends though. Not so much this year, cuz if all goes well, I'll be with them in almost all of the English classes, but then when I finally get to the 2nd year, they'll all be in the 3rd and that is going to suck big time. Not to mention meeting a bunch of 18yr olds all over again... lol I highly doubt I'll find a group as cool as this one was once again.
So yeah, I'm a bit down with the whole situation now but I guess it's just something I'll have to learn how to deal with.
