It's official. I've finally joined the ranks of almost every single person in the world to have claimed and or have read 'The Da Vinci Code'. Unsurprisingly the book preceding this one was better than the one that followed. In movie terms, the sequel wasn't as good as the first one. I suppose reading DVC right after AND left me wanting and hungering for more of the same action and thrill that was so apparent in AND. Not that DVC wasn't good but just not as good and far less exciting. The ending just added to the letdown as the revelation wasn't as impactful as I had hoped it would be. Just hope that the movie will be a more fast-paced and adventurous ride than the book. AND would make a good '24'-esque type TV show. Just a thought.
I suppose I have myself only to blame for my jumpy mood swings and sorts due to my over-zealous all-knowingness of wanting to know about the past semester's results. My head is slowly and surely forming my "plans" for next year if I do (and I damn well pray) get into USyd, UMelb or UNSW. Experience has taught me not to be overly prepared in case something happens and all your hopes and dreams come crashing down on your crestfallen face so that the bomb won't hit as hard.
A couple of friends and I are planning on taking on French language lessons while finishing up the final semester of the year. We haven't really decided where to take them as it is a work in progress. It would be cool to learn and speak another language other than the lingua franca as we fluently converse in today. At the same time it is unorthodox that me being a Chinese should learn to speak the "mother" tongue first before going on to learning another language that will come in useful in the EU.
I was cruelly deceived by 8tv yesterday night into thinking that the channel was going to show the second season of 'Lost' which instead it was only the first season being broadcast. And 'Scrubs' wasn't on on Sunday.
It's the last week of the month long break. I need to ready myself once again for the onslaught of lectures and tutorials that will be abound come Monday.
