Stuff

My brain is lacking in vocabulary or creativity (one or the other or both) so you get a boring title. :)

I finished my final yesterday. I'm 50% confident on the material I answered. The other 50% is up in the air. I'm particularly worried about the last question's first two parts. I had NO clue so I more or less took an educated guess. Hopefully I was right or I'm screwed. I already turned my paper in. I couldn't take having the final and knowing I still had my paper to turn in so I edited it one last time (I think I could have edited it forever...) and turned it on Wednesday night. I have to tell you, having the final over and no more paper to worry about is a nice feeling. I'm glad I turned it in early.

I still have some GP work to do this next week, but it's a little more leisurely so I feel better having the final complete and my classes finished. I'm more-or-less taking the weekend off and will work next week on GP. If I work diligently, I should have it finished in 1-2 days.

Tomorrow is Zenyatta's appreciation/farewell day at Hollywood Park. Chris isn't looking forward to being stuck at Hollywood Park almost all day (it opens at 10:15pm, but she's not parading till around 3pm). I'd like to get there later, but don't want to miss anything earlier in the day too...So...We'll get there around 10-11am. Apparently someone from the Dodgers will be giving Zenyatta her own Dodgers jersey too. I'm intrigued to know if she'll actually be able to wear it or not. LoL I suspect a couple thousand people (easily) will be there tomorrow (another reason I'd rather get there early). Camera will be in hand! Now if I only could steal a kid for 10 minutes so I can get one of the Zenyatta coloring books they're giving away to kids... :P Mike Smith will be autographing again so I'm *cough* printing photos to have him sign, but may just have him sign my Blooodhorse commemorative issue for her instead. We'll see. In the midst of looking for photos, I stumbled across the photo finish of Zenyatta's Breeders' Cup Classic loss. It's painful to look at. She really did lose by a head. She was SOOO close. Ugh. Painful. Anyway, tomorrow should be fun and interesting. The energy of Hollywood Park should be incredible too.

Next Friday The Tourist and Narnia comes out! I'm still not 100% sold on The Tourist, but I'll probably go see it at some point and Narnia (of course) I will see. :) I think this year (or next) I will do what my friend does and try to see all the movies nominated for Best Picture for the Academy Awards. I'm intrigued by the one Colin Firth is in (The King's Speech), which has him as King George VI and Helena Bonham Carter as Queen Elizabeth. It's already getting comments that Colin Firth may be nominated for Best Actor award. There are some other small pictures I'm interested in too, but tend to watch on DVD instead. We'll see, though. I think last year I ended up seeing most of the Best Picture awards, but not all of them.

Well...with that...I'm off to watch my Criminal Minds DVD and continue to relax. :)
