Bah to the world

ceitfiannaToday went far too long and its going to take me a while to recover. It was full of good and bad but the tiring parts outweighed the good ones. Class ended around four o'clock and I was aware of every minute of it, I like this class but its not terribly organized so sometimes it drags. Parts went fast but not all of them and I didn't get much to eat beforehand and never felt quite awake. The good part was I got back a paper I did about the Lewes library and I got an A on it which made me happy.
Then the next dragging part was group work for this presentation thing about an article, these presentations are so much more laid back than what I'm used to at SI. Basically we have an international article and just need to get the info across. The first group did a game show thing and my group thought, oh that will make it more interesting. So after grabbing a highly disappointing sandwich at Jimmy John's, I hate their food, its like they give you the utter minimum and the bread always seems stale, we went to work. We headed to the computers in the bottom of the social work building and the seats were odd. It took forever as the woman in the group who's made herself the organizer found a powerpoint that's Who Wants to be a Millionaire where you fill in the questions and it took ages. My thought was keep questions simple and open for discussion, easier on us and much more interactive, but she wanted to play with this powerpoint thing. I mean it looks really cool with all the animation but its not going to make the presentation that much more interactive. Nope, we created fifteen interesting but slightly mind numbing questions about fundraising in Japan.
At least while we were there, I emailed the guy from the book festival about going for coffee, which I think is also making me tense. Finally we finished and the humidity went up a lot and I felt sore and awful, that part hasn't passed, but tomorrow I have off and there will be grocery shopping.
Wonderful other thing that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ashen_key found, go read this, it speaks truth.
Now as this meme has been floating around and I love the idea of it and need to get my creative juices flowing.
Give me 2-9 actors. I'll put my music on shuffle, and create a movie synopsis based on those actors and the first song that comes up.
Bonus: I will even try to create a movie poster. No guarantees, though.
