The end of summer.

First of all, as Amy says, Stardust was really surprisingly good. And funny! The costumes and special effects were fun, but I fell in love with the story and all the actors. Claire Danes was luminous, and Charlie Cox with the hair and the coat...mmhmm. It had its little flaws, and it's over 2 hours long, but it all went by pretty quickly. I almost wish the falling-in-love part went on longer.

Amy and I made up 2/5 of the audience. Dan and I have discussed this idea of movie theaters adjusting their ticket prices based on anticipated or proven success, much like airlines adjusting flight prices depending on the flight's popularity. I mean, they're running the movie anyway, so they might as well try to fill up more of the seats. There are so many movies that I might be tempted to see if they were half the current price, but $7.50 min for a movie I'm only vaguely interested in? You're not going to get me that way.

So, my internship ended last Friday, and my last art class was on Monday night (although I have to go back to Batik twice, once to iron stuff I did on Monday night, once to pick up everything once it comes back from the dry cleaners--to remove all the wax--and then I have to go back to pottery twice, once to do glazing on my last few pieces, once to pick up the fired things), before I came home at my mother's urging. Moving over to BC with Em's help and a zipcar went surprisingly well, although I'm not unpacked from that.

I may continue working at MGP on Thursdays through the fall, depending on how my class schedule ends up, but either way they're going to pay me a bit to make samples for them from home, which will be a nice little side source of income. I've been scheduled to work 13 hours a week at the computer lab! I've never worked that much there! We'll see how it goes...I would prefer it to be a bit more spread out, I think, but again, class schedule still unsettled.

Med school apps are coming along. Thesis work is not as much, but I have to wrassle it into shape soon, so I will. I did do some reading that I've been meaning to get done, so that was good, and I'm having a good time at home thus far. It's just that the prospect of going back to school and taking classes and dealing with senior year and what happens next, all that makes for this constant panicky, stressing out feeling in the back of my mind. I would like for there to be a time when I could stop, for two minutes, with no present or future obligations to be worrying about.
