I just bought a new phone. Not as good as the other one, but still quite nice.

I've lost some of my numbers, due to that some of them didn't transfer from my Sim, darnit. I still have two more days left of my easter break, and hopefully do more shopping.

I wish I could understand finance. It would be a lot easier.

I might use my next few days reading the textbook.

After this coming week, I'll probably have the busiest two weeks before the end of semester. Tests and assignments for all of my subjects squished in.

**Periwinkles** · 03-23-2008, 07:46 AM

Happy Easter!

Are you shopping for anything in particular?

I read my textbook, but each chapter is like 45+ pages long and it's hard to understand everything with all those formulas. I'm going to work on finance problems today, I guess.

NZOCFan · 03-24-2008, 02:54 AM

Nah, nothing in particular. Actually, I shouldn't really do any shopping. I've spent way too much money this month for uni. But the easter sales are soo tempting.

I was gonna do work today, but decided to finish reading the second & third book from the Twilight series online.

Yesterday, I was curious, and wanted to see what the fuss was about.

But tomorrow! Is reserved for all things uni.

**Periwinkles** · 03-24-2008, 06:40 PM

Heh. April is only a week away, so a new billing period begins.

Do you like them?

What happened to reading the first book?

NZOCFan · 03-25-2008, 09:05 PM

True true. Although I think April is going to be a really hectic month for me, unfortunately. Thank goodness that my birthday lies in between the mid-semester break.

I did read the first one. I read it a day before the others.

To be honest I find it rather cheesy, but I like it.

It's addictive...that's the right word. Although the first book is my fave, I don't like the other two in the series as much. Too much Jacob Black for me.

I bought the first book at Borders today, because if I keep reading it online, my eyes are gonna get sore.

**Periwinkles** · 03-26-2008, 01:49 PM

That's a lot of reading on the computer.

Yeah, I mean I loved the first one and I read it before everyone was obsessed with the series. (It was strange how it was just a random book that I picked out then half a year later, everyone was talking about it). Then I figured I should read the sequels, and I liked them less than the first one. The second book had waaay too much Jacob, I agree. The third book redeemed itself, but I much prefer the first book. I'm still looking forward to the fourth one though.

NZOCFan · 03-28-2008, 04:02 AM

Yep, hence why I bought Twilight.

If I ever feel like reading bits from New Moon or Eclipse, I'll just read it online.

I'm looking forward to the fourth book too. But I'm oddly excited for the movie as well.

I hope movie!Edward Cullen will be like book!Edward Cullen

I'm kinda relieved that FF will be going under the server upgrade for a bit. I have way too much work to look at. I'm really trying hard not to procrastinate.

Three assignments and three tests coming up in the next two weeks.

There's this film festival showcase that I wanted to attend, but I know I shouldn't go! Arg!

**Periwinkles** · 03-29-2008, 02:52 PM

I'm looking forward to the movie too, but I think the books are still going to better. I'm happy that the book is coming out before the movie though, so I can keep picturing the characters how I want them to. Some of the actors who were cast are not really who I had pictured in my mind.

When is the festival starting? I have a lot of work too.

NZOCFan · 03-30-2008, 04:58 AM

There are particular things that I hope they keep in the movie, because I know with adaptations they tend to leave stuff out and add new stuff in. But yeah, I think the book will be better than the movie too, even though I'm rather excited for it. Which actors that are cast did you not have pictured? Rosalie is the only one that springs to mind for me. And probably Jacob too. I don't mind the actress that's playing Alice, although I thought her hair was supposed to be black? In the pictures I've seen, it looks rather brownish.

I think it already started.

But it's going for two or three weeks. I don't think I can attend, which is a bummer.

For one of my courses, each time I do an assignment, I have to mark four other peoples work.

I don't like the idea of other students looking at my work

and grading it! I don't like marking theirs either. I've done it and I already feel bad.

**Periwinkles** · 03-31-2008, 07:10 AM

For me it was Rosalie and Jasper. On the on-set pics, Rosalie looks better than in the promos, but still, I would have pictured her differently. And I didn't picture Jasper like that either (with his hair). Alice looks cute, but she should have had black hair. I thought I had remembered her hair color wrong, but I'm glad I wasn't delusional.

Mike Newton is perfect though!

I wouldn't really like grading others as well. I hate it when I used to have peer-review for essays in English.

**vc318** · 03-31-2008, 07:53 PM

Hey guys!

How have you been? I hope everyone had a nice Easter. I'm just here in bed not feeling so hot - I've been having this tightness in my throat with this throbbing headache. I don't know what it is. What a way to spend Spring Break.

Hi sweetie! You will just love that book! I just read Twilight and New Moon and even though they're very lengthy, it's definitely worth the read. I'm waiting for Eclipse to come it at my local library. I hope you like it.

**Periwinkles** · 04-02-2008, 02:56 PM

Aw, I hope you feel better. What else are you doing for Spring Break?

Hee! Yeah Jasper's hair is kinda funny. Although I did see a pic of the actor playing his guitar on his break, and it looked alright there. Oh yeah, Mike Newton is definitely great casting. I really like the actor who's playing him -- he was really good on JoA.

Aw, I hope you feel better Caroline.

I liked Eclipse better than New Moon, but I wish there wasn't so much Jacob. I just adore Edward too much.

I'm so busy, and I think I'm coming down with something too.

I was so sleepy I forgot to go online last night, and then I woke up this morning remembering I had to apply for an internship position that was due today (thank god I had only one left). So I'm using my break in between classes, to do what I was supposed to do yesterday.

I've got tests and assignments due this week and next, so I might take a few days off..until Tuesday I think.

**Periwinkles** · 04-02-2008, 05:13 PM

His hair doesn't seem all that natural in the pics. Maybe it'll look better on screen.

New Moon is my least favorite of the three. I liked Eclipse much better too.

I fell asleep while studying yesterday. I'm really tired too.

Hey Belle. Yeah, I went to the doctor and I'm on my way to feeling better. Except for that, Spring Break has been good. Yesterday, I went with my family to Lion Country Safari down in West Palm Beach, Florida. It was nice to go out instead of being trapped indoors.

Did you get to do anything for Spring Break?

I also felt New Moon was so-so. I haven't read the third book yet - I'm still waiting for Eclipse to come in at the library. There making a movie on the first book, which is supposed to hit theatres in December. I hope it's good.

Oh Jess, I hope you feel better. Stress can definitely drain your body. Just take it easy and take plenty of vitamins and rest.

What internship did you apply for?
I really hope you get better soon.
