Dead Day

At my university we have this thing called Dead Day. It's the day before finals are meant to official start. There are no classes and you simply have a free day to ideally study, or in my case rest and relax and study a bit before beginning hell.

I hate finals with a passion. Always have and always will. And I took my first one on Monday and turned in a  crap load of stuff due. And on Tuesday I rushed through an extra credit assignment to turn it in to get my grade up to a 90%. Picture it: me speed writing an essay, finding sources, and going down to the first floor of the library to print it out. Only there was a huge line, and people were taking forever and then running to the other side of campus and having to go up to the fifth floor of the building and going through some literally dark and shady hallways in order to find my professor's office. I was sweating and huffin' and puffin' but I turned it in and this all happened in 25 mins.

But it was turned in.

So my dead day was pretty dead. It was a day where I was able to take a step back and think about the things coming up.

Hmm. That's all for now I suppose.

I chose this picture because one it looks badass and sets my imagination running. And two I wish I could stay in bed and catch up on the sleep I've been missing the past few weeks. Oh well summer is around the corner.

Five Things I Hate

Ahh! I'm caught up for now! This is for May the Seventh!

These are five things I hate.

1. I hate when I feel like my friendship with someone is one sided and I end up being the friend yet they aren't a friend back to me. In recent years I've done a good job of cutting out the idiots that don't matter. But sometimes. Just sometimes I get those feelings again.

2. I hate essays. I've come to the conclusion that I hate them. Maybe it's because of the amount of time I've spent on them the last couple of days. In retrospect I should  NOT have taken two English classes.

3. I hate bitches who be actin' like they know your best friends more than you do. Ok this one is sorta silly. But I do. I'm like no you don't, step away.

4. I hate when people try to say I'm not Mexican because I don't look like a gangster. This has gotten old reaaal fast.

5. I hate when guys act like sex is the most important thing in a relationship or they act perfect just to get what they want. I've had so many female friends fall for this and as soon as they give it up lo and behold the guy moves on. If anyone tries this with my little sister I will destroy them. But seriously it's so stupid. Sex doesn't make a relationship. Sure it'll make a bond stronger but only if the bond is strong to begin with.

Five Things I Dislike

This is for May the 6th.

These are five things I dislike but don't hate.

1. Running. The only reason I don't hate it is because I know it's a good way to work out and it is good for you. But I hate being out of breath. Which is why I dislike it. Maybe if I was better at it eh?

2. I dislike the way once something becomes popular everything has to relate to it. After Twilight it seemed the only thing to be found under teen fiction in bookstores were vampire books. What the hell!? What the hell do teens know about vampires and how are we supposed to relate?? I am fine with a couple of them but really why does everything have to be related to what made it popular. Same thing after Hunger Games. What the hell do we know about the end of the world seeing as how our world has been ending probably a week after it was created! This is very close to being on the hated list.

3. I dislike how sick I feel when I smell bacon. I love bacon and I love eating it and whatnot. But in 8th grade for the Leadership class I was in we had to make breakfast for all the teachers. So we got there at like 5 in the morning and made huge amounts of eggs, bacon and sausages, and it was a pain and for the rest of that day a whole hallway smelled disgustingly like bacon. I don't like the smell ever since.

4. I dislike hats. I think it's cause my head is shaped weird and I look stupid with a hat on. So I just don't wear them. I guess beanies fall under this category as well.

5. I don't like black licorice. Sometimes I eat it just because but I'm always like why the hell did I just eat it? I know I don't like it but I still eat it sometimes.

Iron Man 3

This is for May 5th.

I watched Iron Man 3! I watched Iron Man 3! *commence geekin' out.*  As you know I own all the Marvel films leading up to The Avengers including that one. So this film was the first of phase two.

I won't reveal any spoilers.

I loved it! I watched it in 3D! And I admit you don't have to watch it in 3D to get the great experience but it was still cool. I loved the plot and how it really does continue after Avengers. It doesn't just ignore what happened.Tony Stark is suffering from PTSD. And I thought it was a good portrayal of that.

I think Gwyneth Paltrow is gorgeous and near the end she's in a sports bra. My life is made. *wipes drool*

Anyways back to the stuff. The Mandarin is the villain in the film and if anyone knows anything about Iron Man then they'll know that he is Iron Man's Joker. His arch nemesis. There was a twist in the film. While I wasn't exactly thrilled with the twist I have to say I think they handled it really really well and still made it great. Because I still loved it.

The whole storyline was nicely done and there was a ton of humor. It was something really great.

And I suggest if anyone watches it to stay after the credits for a little extra scene.

All in all I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars because it really was a great film. It had romance, suspense, some shocks, lots of thrills, lots of humor, it was a superhero film that was different from all superhero films, and it had amazing special effects.

Silver Linings

This is for May 4th. 

I'm getting to that point in the semester where I just want it to end. I need it to end. I'm stressed and tired and not exactly happy. And while I'm at it I want a job. Anyways. 

On Saturday I watched the Silver Linings Playbook.

What did I think? Jennifer Lawrence is in it I'd be watching it regardless. Her and Emma Stone are my wives. Just sayin'. Mr. Bradley Cooper is in it as well and I enjoy his acting. So I was ready for it. Upon trying to explain to my parents what it was about I found I wasn't exactly sure. So I told them to just sit down and watch. 

I won't go into the plot so as not to spoil it. But there were a few moments where the tears almost came. And there were plenty of funny moments. I just loved how sassy and brutally honest Jennifer and Bradley's characters were! They complete me.

I really recommend the film. I loved every moment of it and I thought the plot was well done and their portrayals were really realistic. 

Seriously. Watch it. 

Isn't she gorgeous in this poster!?

"I volunteer! I volunteer to marry Jennifer!" 

Five Things I like

This is meant for May the Third.

Five Things I like..

These are things I do like but aren't things I would think of when thinking of what I do love.

1. I like video games. I'm not a gamer but when I do play I enjoy it. I enjoy it because I only play what interests me. However, the reason I probably don't love video games is because I lose my patience after wasting over an hour trying to beat a level. I simply give up and turn it off and go pick up a book.

2. I like school. Although this really should be I USED to like school. But nahh. I do. I like learning I find it intriguing. I just wish the teachers and professors and the overall school system actually cared about having students learn rather than regurgitating information.

3. I like going on walks. I'm not athletic. But I do like being able to go on long walks and having time to slow down and just think about everything and anything.

4. I like Walmart. Sue me. (Not literally). Walmart was the first place I realized I could buy some of the books I wanted (assuming they had it) at a lower price than at a normal bookstore! It blew my mind that I could do this. Walmart is actually the place I got Half-Blood Prince. And it has also become the place I buy all my movies from. It's cheaper and I can get the DVD-BluRay-3DBluRay combo for like 30 bucks or less sometimes. Whereas other places I'd be paying almost 40 or more. Meh. I dig it.

5. I like people watching. I hate people but boy do I love/like people watching. People are so fascinating when they're not talking to you and you can just observe. Wait that sounds creepy...Never mind. 

Five Things I Love

This is for May the Second. I know I'm behind!

Five Things I love:

*Disclaimer: we all know I love my family and friends. Enough of that mushy gushy stuff so I won't talk about them. And there's the Mother's Day entry coming up so that'll have all that junk.

1. I love food. Seriously. I'm a fat ass. I can't get enough of it. Except for several vegetables and liver/heart/any sort of guts. Ew. My mom tries to feed me chicken guts. Disgusting. But back on track. Being Mexican I looovee our Mexican dishes. I love Chinese food and any other Asian food. And a good ole cheeseburger sounds delicious from time to time. Also I've always wanted to try escargot. That's snail for you people that don't know what it is. Maybe it's cause of the five years of French I've been taking, but seriously. I want to try it.

2. I love Harry Potter. The book series. Duh. The films. I own all the movies and all the books. Two copies of the second and third books. I'm not even sure how I got those second copies  but whatever. I own them. I have a Harry Potter blanket. A Harry Potter towel. I have 1-4 of the games. I have magazines that talked about the third and fourth film when they came out. They're old magazines. I have a calendar of Chamber of Secrets. That's a really old calendar. Don't sue me. Along with a page of shiny stickers. I have Harry Potter pillow cases. I got a sweatshirt once because it had the Ravenclaw colors. I still own it. I have pictures of when I went to the midnight release of the DH books. I still plan to buy and own more HP stuff.

3. I love my dogs. I love dogs in general. But seriously my dogs are always happy to see me and there's just something special about that pure love they have for you. It's irreplaceable. And makes my cold heart melt. And this may be weird but I don't just consider them my dogs. To me they are my family as well.

4. I love music. I love it when I'm feeling happy and want to dance around and sing along. I love it when I'm sad and my heart is yearning for those words that only a song can truly say.

5. I love reading and writing. This is self explanatory. I have a blog. Duh.
