OMG, I've just wasted another day away! (definition of wasting: not doing sufficient studying)
I went to school having mugged for SPA, only to find out that due to unfortunate circumstances, it has been postponed to next term.
I find that I forgot to bring my wallet, thus I have to borrow $ to go home.
Home I went to zzz and study Group VII.
To CCHMS for Drama.
To MOELC for German (where we spent the whole 2 hours discussing german day)
And then home to the oscars until now.
There...the only productive part was the studying of Group VII. (again definition of productive: effective studying)
Theres a huge difference hearing about tragic events that don't concern you and having it happen in your own backyard. Its kinda surreal...and makes you think about things.
Coming home to watch the oscars, I saw how many people having dedicated their lives to a single vocation. (no pun intended, but a material one at that) All the people in the Kodak Theatre on Sunday night have achieved success in the entertainment industry and were there to celebrate and recognise each other's success. It's amazing how film can touch lives and how celebrities can influence and inspire.
-This old non-english speaking fellow who got an oscar for (life time composing? i think) dedicated his award to the many other composers out there who slog day and night and yet their achievements never get recognised.
-Helen Mirren shared her "gold star" with all the other best actress nominees. That was really sweet of her.
-The late Robert Altman got a round of resounding applause when his tribute was played.
This industry is a powerful one. But one where sacrifices have to be made in order to succeed...
you know you love me
