Update: I got the classes I wanted for next quarter. The statistics class, the art history class, and the freshman "cluster" in which I'm currently enrolled (it's a year long class). I'm going home in four days and turning eighteen in four days as well. I already feel eighteen, in a way. I've always felt older than my age, particularly in school and my friendships. I suppose maturity is just a natural thing; I don't think outright seeking it will work. I've always been told I'm mature but I believe it more as time goes on.
I attended a really good play tonight. It was a musical titled "I Love You Because." I have to confess it was my only outing today; I spent most of my Saturday sleeping. I'm glad there are events like plays and fun things I can attend. the play was super funny, kind of raunchy, and just very well rehearsed and performed. Good job, UCLA students.
Currently I've been obsessed with an outdated Kate Nash song (it's not any of her more current work) titled "Birds." It's really metaphorical. It gets stuck in my head easily. It's a very pretty song about a young couple (who I like to think are in a long distance relationship) who have a visit together though they don't have a lot of money. The boy tries to explain his feelings to his girlfriend and it's cute and funny. I hope that this has made you curious at least. Go look it up and listen!
While I'm on the subject of recommendations, I have to say that the midnight premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was totally worth the loss of sleep I incurred for it. I actually had a very long discussion about the movie with another volunteer in the Amigos program in which we totally dissected the themes and imagery and acting. I instantly have a connection to other Harry Potter fans.
