the failure

so i graduate this week. i had a final tonight in one class and my witch of a teacher in the other class wanted me to be there for her class during my final. she completely arranged it with the other teach that i could take the final early in one class and still show up for her class. she wanted me there for some chick to give her presentation and it turned out the girl didn't even show. this teacher's class is jacked. i probably don’t know anyone that i’m graduating with. a few people here and there might be at a point where a head nod would be appropriate to signify that we’ve had three classes together, but have actually talked to each other less than janice and i during the week we were together in tenth grade. there have been pretty memorable teachers that i’ve had the pleasure of taking my school. i’ll spare the one-liners i have for each professor. some were the typical mormon conservative professors you’d expect here. but i had some too, that were as liberal as you'd ever meet in a lifetime. and most of them were mormon too. i’ve grown very passionate about the majors i’ve chosen to study, but there better be a payoff to them. criminal justice and paralegal studies. they are kind of blah majors. they have been a part of me for over three years now, but i just feel like, “eh” (shrugs shoulders). i just want to get it done with so i can cut this hair.

today cu’s decision came. i didn’t get in, so i guess that’s that. sorry guys.

on a brighter note, it turns out that i'm a demomcrat.

Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005): i really think this would have been a bigger hit with the critics if none of fiddy's story was already publicly known. the story would have been more interesting had it been based on some nobody. the film is really good though. for someone who is portrayed in the movie as shy and who blushes easily, he didn't have a hard time praising himself so much in the movie. there are tons of cheesy moments where they really over dramatize events of 'young caesar's' life. take fiddy out of the picture and it's a great story. kind of like a modern day godfather 1 and 2. there are huge themes in this movie that basically say violence isn't so bad and is just part of society, also themes in the godfather movies. i haven’t seen 8 mile so i can’t compare this with that. fiddy did a decent job for his debut performance. if he had been a nobody, i bet his role would have gotten him at least a golden globe nomination. i probably enjoyed this movie more since i’m basically playing his role in grand theft auto every day. if you want to know what san andreas is like, then see the movie; and vice versa. the film is not terrible, but it's far from being amazing. and because this isn't a type of film that a good chunk of the population would want to see, i'll have to recommend not seeing it (east coast/dirty south excluded). sorry fiddy.
