Midterms Suck

Mmm...that's about all I have to say.
I hate wasting my time studying when I know I won't remember any of this information in a week and probably won't need it for the rest of my life. But it's not like I'm going to allow myself to fail my midterms. Sometimes I wish I had the ability to let go like that, to let go of what doesn't really matter. But I can't. Or I won't let myself. It's just how I am.
Aside from school holding me back once again, I had a good weekend. I was able to see Marisa on Friday night. My sister and my father had a softball tournament up in Saratoga, New York, so the house was left to my mother and I. We went up to Marisa's house at 4 on Friday and had dinner. We went to Blockbuster and rented American Psycho, which was a really great movie. I went to the library the next day to get the book, but apparently it's been lost since August, so they have to file a request to borrow it from the Fairfield library. Marisa laughed at me because as soon as the words, "Based on the novel by..." came on the screen, I was like, "OOH, A BOOK!"
So Friday was a really great night. It was the hardest I've laughed in months, to be honest. Or maybe since the last time I hung out with them. We started laughing because there is one point in the movie where Patrick sprints around a corner, but he does this weird gallop thing with his legs, and we almost died. Then, when he calls his secretary, crying, to say that he won't be able to make it into the office, she starts asking if he's alright and what he needs. He yells, "STOP BEING SO FUCKING SAD!" There is a shot of the secretary, looking worried, the phone pressed to her ear, and you hear Patrick shout, "JESUS!" Except it sounds like he's yelling, "JAAAYSUS!" We fell into a fit of laughter and I ended up in a tangle of blankets on the floor, tears streaming down my cheeks because I was laughing so hard.
I'm always happier around my best friends.

I have to stop soon...I have to study some more for spanish. I really don't feel like doing that.
Sigh.
Oh and on top of all that schoolwork, I have a bunch of books to read and barely any time to read them.
This weekend I finished Keeping Faith by Jodi Picoult and now I'm reading another one of her novels, Vanishing Acts. I have American Psycho to read when my library gets it in, and I have Desperation by Stephen King, which is a considerably long book. That might take a while.
After that, I need to read The Tenth Circle (another Picoult book) and Let The Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist. It was made into a movie, and I had wanted to see the movie...before I realized it wasn't in english and not playing in my theater. So the book is sufficient for now.
Not to mention that I still want to reread the Twilight series minus Breaking Dawn because that was just horrible. I feel guilty not getting through the whole thing...so I might try...but no promises. I want to reread my Anne Rice novels too.
Oh lordy.
