I done's been ORIENTATED.

Orientation at MCC was today. I had a lot of fun.

I met some people. The first was my friend named Colleen. We met during an icebreaker game and there was a bee following her, so she came over to stand by me and then she started talking to me-- and we didn't stop! So next we're waling around with our group and guy and we're standing next to this kid named Omar-- and we start talking to him too! The three of us hit it off right away. THEN, there was this kid named Chad that we started talking to (Colleen actually was the one who initiated conversation and said "hello") 'cause we liked his purple "European style" hoodie and cool hair.

Omar is 21 and a fun guy to talk to, I didn't ever find out what his major is though. :( Colleen and Chad are both 18 and Colleen is a Cinema major (the one I wanted to do, so I'm ubber jealous) and Chad is in communications with me. I found out he works at Old Navy as well (although at a different location) and we went around trying to spot out all the ON merchandise we could! It was fun.

You know, the funny thing about this whole college business is that it really isn't scary at all-- not in the way you might think it might be scary. Like, once you get past the whole conversational thingies, you're really that much better off because then you never shut up! :)


I don't know if that was what you would call a "nugget of wisdom" or not... but I try.

Duhn duh duh duh duhn duhn... (Pomp and Circumstance)

So.
College is starting up in two weeks at the most, and I find myself feeling as excited as ever. Apprehensive? Not at all! I'm actually quite surprised at how well I've been able to adjust to it all-- I think I've had no problem! :D Well that's someting to be greatful for. SO what have I done all summer long that I've been away? MOVIES. All day, all night. (That and working at my new job at Old Navy and going out with friends) but primarily, I've been watching movies. yes, this summer I've made a few new friends and deepened some I already had had but mostly, movies have been taking over my existance.

My cousin (who I have since discovdered and become avid concersations with on FacebookIM) and I are both future filmmakers, only he actually writes//films them and I prefer to dabble around on Microsoft word. *sigh* But he's been giving me some pointers on my most recent-- "Untitled". Yep. It has no name...yet.

Maybe something interesting will come to me.

But until then, I just keep writing. I hit a stint of writer's block a little while ago but I am since over that (HURRAH) and now back to my "loverly"( a la "My Fair Lady" (I toldyou)) clacking keyboard and ready (almost) for anything!

So! What movies have I been seeing so far? "Sleuth"(from 1972, not the more recent Caine//Law//Branagh version... *heart weeping*),"All The King's Men", "Alfie"(1966), "Bullitt", "AI:Artificial Intelligence", "As You Like It"(BRANAGH), "My Blueberry Nights"(well, more accurately, this one I just borrowed from the library and will be watching soon...same with "As You Like It"), "The Holiday"(AHH!), "Kung Foo Panda", "The Dark Knight"(twice), "Hancock", and so, so, so, so many others with names I can't remember. Titles without number. I think I've seen as many movies as can fill the shevles of Cameron Diaz' character, Amanda, in "The Holiday". (Such a good movie by the way, if you couldn't tell by the "AHH!" inserted after the title.)

Babbling again. But otherwise, as it seems I suppose that some people would think this was a waste of my time but I in fact feel the exact opposite. I've had fun, and what else is summer for but to have fun?

"What's it all about?"
