Again, I am blogging on the school's computer. This is sad actually, because I can only check mail etc etc on mondays?

My first ever tourism lesson went by like a breeze. Thank goodness I had Christine and Denise help me pull through those tormenting hours.. And as for The Women's Voice, it was extremely mind-boggling. Just piecing together the movie The Hours (Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Meryl Streep) took quite a bit of concentration because of the movie's fragmentation and sort of stream of consciousness. And I had actually watched it before, so Richard's suicide wasn't all that shocking. The movie is really simply marvellous cos it's not those chick flicks you watch and then forget as soon as the credits roll. This one got me pondering on the tragedy in life, and surprisingly, on the celebration of death. I mean, Ms Chow made a comment on how death might not always be a tragedy, and sometimes we have to make life-changing decisions- it's a choice to live, or death. Women's lives in the 50s weren't exactly all strawberries and cream... Then again, women now don't have it all either. I mean, it was obvious that a conflict in sexual identity could really tear a person apart, that said not from experience but by Mrs Dalloway's excellent portrayal of a tormented soul.

I had a fantastic time on saturday. It was the first time I ever did such a fun thing. I went to library on impulse. As in, serious grabbing of wallet and hp and dashing out of the house impulse. Congratulate me. Of course, some other really really cool stuff happened.

Counting the days until the next episode of Lost comes.. That show is the best I've seen on channel5 trust me.
