Thoughts on McCafé.......

Last week when my family and I were running errands, we decided to go to McDonald's for lunch in the drive-tru. Also, I wanted to buy a iced latte McCafe drink because I had seen it in commercials alot and was impressed by the McCafé store I had seen in Washington D.C. When the latte finally came to me and I got a chance to take a small delicious sip, it was slightly disappointing. McDonald's really needs to present more options in their coffee if they want to be considered a serious competitor to Starbucks. But I'm guessing that they eventually want to expand this McCafé menu eventually and are just testing the waters. And unlike the Washington store, the coffee was just okay tasting. I don't know, I'm not sure if I would order a McCafé again. But hopefully they improve because it sounds like a solid idea.

Loneliness

Why is it that when I am often at home I'm very outgoing with my family, but in public I can come across as quite shy? I mean, I am a very friendly person, its just that I often don't know what to say to people, and I don't want to make a fool out of myself. I think when I get older I will be the type of person who will only have a few close friends, rather than many friends in general. Of course like mom often says it could just be the environment that i'm in. For example, in the other neighborhood that we lived in I had a nice group of friends and was very outgoing.But ever since then, I've been so quiet. But I did surprised myself by speaking a lot in the recent college english class that I was in. A lot of the times I prefer to be alone because it helps me think clearer, but at the time I don't want to become a recluse. When I was at school even though there were a lot of people, I still felt lonely and couldn't relate to many people. But I still need some kind socialization.

The Search is over!

After days of thinking, wondering if I would ever see it again, I finally found the wonderful movie that I had seem on TCM in amazon for sale! The name of the movie is "Au Revoir Les Enfants", and the setting is around the world war 2 period in France. It tells the tale of a french boy whose mother enrolls him in a all boys boarding school. He is very lonely there until he meets another boy named Julian. At first he just teases him, but soon towards the middle-end of the movie they become friends.But he does not know Julian's biggest secret, he's a Jew!. The whole movie is really touch and sad, especially when Julian's secret is revealed. I highly recommend it.Its only twenty dollars, so maybe I should ask my parents to get it for my 17th birthday...

Summer Goals

I've decided that instead of moping around for three months, i'm going to use this time to improve myself and accomplish thing I wouldn't normally do. Here are my goals for summer 2009:

1. Get my junior's Lisense

2. lose 40 pounds

3. Aim for an A iny Science and History classes

4. Open my Amy website

5. Improve my self grooming and style

6. Master the Art of Crochet and Cello

7. Get a Job

8. Become more organized

9. Get more Sleep

10. Limit computer time

Yatta!

I am so happy that I made it through this weeks worth of biology classes.
When I first heard this class would be four hours long, I wasn't sure that I would be able to still in it all and stay awake. But I did, and i'm so proud of myself!One important thing that must be done in preparation for next week is to read ahead,and get lots of sleep. I cannot stay up all night and expect to pass this class. The teacher also seemed very and and passionate about the subject, which is a very good thing. The classroom is a full lab and not a small room like the English class (which I got a "B" in!). Lab should be my biggest struggle, as I wasn't so good at them in middle school, but i'm sure that i'll make it if I work smart!

Too much of a good thing

Star trek is a good movie. And Imax is a great exciting way to watch movies.
So it would make sense that two good things would fit together, right?.
But when me and my mom went to the Imax theater at the Franklin, it was too overwhelming. It felt like I was being squished and the screen seamed stretched.
Some movies are just not made for this type of thing.

Hallelujah!

The other day I was wishing for lipstick that would moisturize and color my lips. Before I was using only lip gloss, and today I discovered this while searching the net:

Silent movies

Movies have always been an activity that I have enjoyed for many years now.And I am a big history buff,so it would make perfect sense that I'd love silent movies as well. It's just interesting to watch one and see what the culture was like and how people experienced life in motion instead of reading it from a history book.I just wish that I could have been around during that time so I could watch the other 80% percent of the films that were destroyed and lost (I mean nitrate film, really?). It's also really cute how all the women look that human baby doll, when I was younger, I didn't notice that at all. To add to that I also found on wikipedia that the old films we see today are slow than in the 1910s and 1920s, which really gives you a different feel. I can see why most of the films that people like to watch on TCM are comedy, because you don't need words to make people laugh, just huge movement.
