Hullo, its a loverly loverly Saturday morning.
It is now 11.54AM.
I set my alarm for 9.30AM so I could wake up bright and early to write my H3 (ya right).
Its amazing how many hours I’ve already invested into my paper and all I can say is that I have 500 words for it. (:
The innate perfectionist refuses to settle for anything less than coherent, which contrary to popular opinion, is not as easily attainable as it looks.
So, enough about this H3 thing which I’ve currently yet to continue since I woke up a mere hour ago, and spent the last half fighting with the modem/router/Deep Thought which refused to connect to the dear, precious, Internet.
Speaking of the Internet, I find it highly ridiculous that the one place in TJ with the worst Internet connection is the Library.
And oh, JCT grades are BBBAD, literally.
Haha.
GP – A
History – B
Literature – B
Math (H1) – B
Econs – D
Now I’ve to figure how to get my Econs grades to rise above that abysmal mark. Everything else I’m okay with. I was aiming to average Bs this exam, and I suppose my grades are satisfactory enough, even though I dipped quite a bit for History. Knowingly I didn’t study as thoroughly as I normally do for History anyway. I’m really happy with Lit, this is the first actual exam I did pretty well in. My text essays were fine but I blotched my PCs, ironic considering I used to be so much better at PC when I first came to TJ. (Hm. Causal links?) GP was quite amusing. Well I guess Mr T is a pretty good teacher after all. GP grades last year were most horrid, but seems I’ve pretty much grasped the technique of spewing out GP-esque essays now… all I need to do is streamline my thoughts and make everything tighter, and this applies to all my subjects I suppose.
Now, time to talk about POTTER. (:
SPOILER ALERT!!
Since its open I’ve already caught it twice. On Thursday with Jason and Friday with Kitz and Jaslyn. Whee whee whee.
Must say I didn’t like it all too much the first time. It felt as though they were just trying their best to get the plot across (and so much of it already being chopped out and all) and there was scarcely any character development. Everyone was fighting for screen time of course, and there were so many moments where I know my specific group of friends would be squealing away. But unless you grasp the canon/fandom concept, it’ll probably slip right past.
I like young Snape. (: (:
Umbridge: Because you know, somewhere deep inside, that you deserve to be punished.
(LAWL)
Okay anyway. Umbridge kinda reminds me of Mrs L… TJCians, comments?
But its funny anyway.
And because I’ve had the opportunity to watch it twice I had more time to note subtleties. Did anyone notice the blackboard when they were doing their Charms OWLs? It said: Use Azio Mizuri (can’t remember the spelling, actually) ink only.
Okay I can’t really remember what the name was but it looked Jap. Haha. Japs pwn even the quill ink industry.
Secondly, this movie just gave me another opportunity to detest CHO CHANG even more. Katie Leung spent the whole movie giving BLATANTLY adoring/pretending to be shy looks at Harry. It was QUITE revolting. And then they had to kiss. Well it was a first kiss. Clumsy. And whatnot. So it looked bad too, fortunately. Thank God for Ginny and her jealous glances. I’m so glad its going to be Ginny in the next movie and not Cho. I still marvel at how they managed to weed out such an unflattering looking Chinese girl with the strangest, most confused accent I have ever heard.
Umbridge: Boys and girls are not to be within eight inches of each other!
Haha. Okay the jokes were quite amusing. And the Friday crowd at The Cathay was much more receptive than the few that were in the cinema at GV Grand on Thursday.
Kit was laughing and guffawing so loudly and at some really INAPPROPRIATE times. I have no idea why.
Luna is lovely! I love Luna. She is the PERFECT Luna! Finally some GOOD casting. After they made Sirius look like a shaggy Dorian Gray and Lupin into some unhawt cardigan toting oldie. Oh, but Umbridge was perfectly annoying as well, of course. Good casting. Her pink room with the PLATES FULL OF CATS is highly disturbing. *shudders*
The Weasley twins are so cool so cool. But I know this is probably the last we’ll see of them. BOO.
They don’t play that big a role in Half-blood Prince and I know they’re probably gonna be chopped out. And they really ARE starting to look a bit too old to be in school. But they rock. XD XD
Anyway, if anyone is going to watch Harry Potter again, tell me if you notice the Gryffindor boy with the emo blond hair sitting next to Ron during one of the Great Hall scenes. WHO IS HE? WHO? WHO?!
Oh yes. And !emoHarry made his presence felt a lot, though less irritatingly than as expressed in the book. Dudley was positively amusing. I like Dudders.
Hmm. The Sirius being sent into the Veil scene was fast, no opportunity to bawl my eyes out. Lol. BELLATRIX IS LOVELY. I love Helene Bonham Carter. (: She’s the voice for Corpse Bride by the way, which was modelled after her.
And I still dislike the Dumbledore. He has ruined Dumbledore. He’s not kooky and crazy and woohoo like the first one was. He’s too edgy and pointed. Even though the plot gets darker I don’t really think Dumbledore turns into such a high strung creature.
Now I feel like re-reading Book 5 and 6 in preparation for next week’s release of Book 7. I can’t WAIT. To see how it ends and to see if JK Rowlin can redeem herself for how bad the past few books have been. Movie 6 is probably going to be really boring. The book itself was dull enough. There was scarcely any action involved and it’ll probably just be another plot vomitting session. Too much plot was unrolled in Book 6. Christian Coulson will not be playing Tom Riddle this time though, sadly. He’s too old now.
Oh well. H3. Er. Yeah. Or not.
*wobbles away*
