Famous Last Words Week 7

Well, it's been another one of those weeks where I didn't get as much writing done for this class as I wanted to. But I got tons done for another class! This week was spent working on a rather large paper for one of my major lab classes. Unfortunately, I spent so much time focusing on that paper alone that I didn't get much reading done for this class (or assignments for any class, for that matter).
The paper was due Friday, so after that was turned in I treated myself to the extended edition of the Lord of the Rings! I had never seen the extended edition before, and it was wonderful. Really long, but what else is to be expected from a film of one of the most epic trilogies of all time?
I think my favorite scene in the Fellowship is when our travelers venture into Lothlorien and Frodo meets Galadriel. When I saw the movie for the first time in theaters, I was transfixed by her ethereal beauty. Watching the movie now, that same wonder and awe still holds true (but some of the effects are really outdated and it takes away from the magic).  I remember wanting to be her for Halloween once, but I think I changed my mind at the last moment to be a zombie instead. Oh, the fickle mind of a child.

Who wouldn't want to be an Elven queen for Halloween?

Looking ahead, some thing I'm really excited for (as I'm guessing most everyone is), is spring break! My friends and I plan on going to Miami and I'm super excited because I've never been before! Of course, I think everyone will still be studying while we're down there. Maybe that way I can get some actual writing done! 

There's still a lot of work to do before I can hit the beach, however. The week before the break I have an exam, a group project, and yet another big paper due. Yikes. Thankfully, we're coming up on week 8 in our unit and have time to take a little bit of break so I can prepare for the upcoming hell week. Maybe I can squeeze in a few episodes of Lost Girl too, while I'm at it. 

Now that I think about it, I haven't commented about all the snow we've had this weekend. Honestly, the roads here are so much worse compared to Colorado, but that's probably because Oklahoma doesn't prepare for the Snowpocalypse. I went out and walked around for a while, enjoying all the white, but I couldn't sled or ski in it. I'm ready for the warm rejuvenating breath of Spring.
