The lights are blinding...

Longest week ever, man. To go from not doing anything from 3 months to waking up every day at 6 (thanks Isa for the training otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do it...), then classes from 8 until around 12, and then work until 4:30... it's just taking it out on me.
Not to mention that I have to walk around campus, and I'm so completely out of shape. My back, my neck and my knees are all killing me.
Thankfully, work was pretty light this week so I had some time to get back on my feet. I know it'll probably start to get more demanding as the semester goes on, but I think I'll be able to handle it by then.

I saw the new Futurama movie a couple of days ago. It was funny and kinda gross at the same time. It wasn't as good as the first, but I liked it. I specially thought the whole Murderball sequence was brilliant.
I hated Atonement, though. What a horrible ending, it was very frustrating. I get why it was nominated for so many awards. It's incredibly well made and all, it's just the ending that pissed me off.
I also saw Rush Hour 3. I knew it wasn't going to be that great of a movie, but man... I got bored with it. Not nearly as good as 1 and 2, but then that's true for most sequels these days.
Except for the Dark Knight. Now that is an amazing movie. I went to see it with Lexi and it was great because since it had been out for so long, there were only a couple of people in the theater. But what an amazing film. There wasn't one dull moment, and it wasn't one of those movies where they just blow up stuff for free. The cinematography was brilliant, and the actors were unbelievable. Heath Ledger in particular, was absolutely great. I'll always love Michael Caine and Gary Oldman to death, so nothing else can be said about them. It was good enough that you didn't pay attention to the obviously impossible structure that they gave to Harvey Dent's face.

I finally got my residency! So the only paperwork I have left is getting my resident license and I'm good to go! No more paperwork, no need for job permit, and more importantly, a lot cheaper tuition. I'm extremely happy about it. It'll also mean entrance in the US is a lot more simple if I choose to travel. So it's very, very good.

Ah, yeah. I changed the layout to red again. I don't really know why, I just felt like it. I was sick of the green and this is what I came up with last night. The next one will probably be blue.
