I feel like every time I blog, the only thing I've got to say is how much work I have. Well, I have a lot of work, and there's a big test (exam, he calls it, but I don't think it's weighed enough to really be an exam) tomorrow in politics. This is actually a bit frustrating. Last semester, politics was the class where I breezed through with pretty much a 100%. (Okay, I lost one point, but shit, 100% sounds a lot better than 99.9%.) Now, I'm struggling for a B+. Depending on the grade I got on my most recent paper, I might be in A- range, not that I'd be there for long since this exam will surely drag me back down. Either way, I really hope I did well on that paper. I don't want to fall below a B+, and a sold A would put me comfortably into the B+ range.

Columbia app is due 3/15. Northwestern on 5/1. I need to write Barnard a cover letter with my class descriptions included over the weekend. Tomorrow, I plan on chilling at Starbucks with a good book. A real book, mind you. Reading for leisure is something I miss. I have both my favorite Discworld books with me (Night Watch and Going Postal), but I might want to re-read Watchmen in preparation for the movie. I don't have any other books with me at school, so that's pretty much it for my options.

I've been listening to the Tutanchamun OCR quite a bit lately, and I've got to admit that I really like it. I'm not sure the music's quite appropriate for the setting, but it's certainly lovely music with a good blend of different moods and composition. That's probably my biggest issue with Marie Antoinette. I know it's meant to be accurate to the era, but half the songs have the same rhythmic structure, and all the songs have the same mood, which drives me mad. Well, it drives me bored, and the boredom drives me mad. But anyway, my point is that I really want to get my hands on those two Tutanchamun DVDs circulating around.

Also, one of these days, I really need to start a friending meme over at

foreignmusicals.

I know how you feel. Every time I update, I try to talk of other things than school too. ~_~
Try to get your rest too dear, you need it. :(

Regarding Tutanchamun, I'm probably trading for a DVD of it, I'll send it to you if it works out okay? :) Jesper's apparently really cute as a drunk man and now I can't wait to see it! T_T; Apparently there are more. Didn't you mention 2 highlight ones? This person has 2 2-DVD shows.. (it's vigdiss on foreignmusicals, btw. xD perhaps you can trade for the other show lol, then we'll have both? XD)
I think MA fits pretty well. As far as I can judge. I don't know too much of MA and that period of time.

I actually contacted the same trader for both the Tutanchamun DVDs, but she hasn't responded to me yet, and I also sent an email telling her that if she's overrun with trades right now, I can totally wait. It's not like I haven't been waiting for a long time already. :P So just let me know which one you're trading for, and I'll just revise my list of what I'd like to trade for when next month rolls around.

And yes, I had only known of two Highlights collections, and they should be about an hour and a half or so each. I didn't bother comparing the dates since I pretty much wanted Tutanchamun ANYTHING, but I guess full show recordings do exist? Yay?

Okay :) She replied to me already. Lol, she still has to upload VOB files for another DVD xD So I just told her I can also do snail mails, but she hasn't responded yet. She seems to be a busy little thing, she always takes some time answering. *shrug*
Haha, but I'll let you know. :)

Yeah! I mean, if I can choose highlights or full shows.. then full shows, definitely LOL. Apparently there are more DVD's than we thought then! The musical must've been better than expected. :) I'm getting really hopeful lol ^^;
