Well, busy me studied a lot for the GRE's and took them on Thursday morning. I improved my score by 50 points giving me a 640. The school I'm applying to (and incidentally currently attending as well) asks a minimum of 600, so I can check that off the list of qualifying traits to have. Hopefully my writing score also improves.
I am skipping church tonight because 1. I have a lot to do in the next couple of days and 2. it's freezing outside. Or rather, below freezing. Very cold. I figured I could finish what I need to read in Blue Like Jazz and that would spiritual. I'm probably evaluating my relationship with God just as much, if not more, while reading that book than I do at the average church service. Of course, in reality, I'm blogging, reading other people's blogs, and cleaning up my mailbox, not reading right now. But I will at some point tonight. I just joined a small group that is going through Blue Like Jazz, and I need to be through chapter 14 by tomorrow night.
On Friday, I saw three movies in the theater: Closer (amazing, my favorite of the evening, I want to make babies with Clive Owen), Million Dollar Baby (not as predictable as I thought it would be, so thumbs up, my friend cried for a third of it, generally a good sign in movies because as Henry James said "In the arts, feeling is always meaning"), and House of Flying Daggers (the story line seemed tailored for American audiences, not like Hero or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but it was very pretty, visually sumptuous in an un-American way, and I appreciate that). The push to see all the movies that are going to be nominated for Oscars has begun.
