Instant Convert - Just Add

Okay, so, I was standing around talking to one of my best friends in the whole 'verse, and I asked if he'd seen [i]Firefly[/i]. When he said "no," I was shocked and amazed - He and I have much the same taste in shows and the like, and I was SURE he must've seen the show while it was on the air. :blink: But, alas, although he and his wife had (miraculously!) seen one of the few promos on FOX, they'd missed its pitifully short run. :disappointed: So I brought Disc 1 of the DVD box set to band practice last night, and lent it to him. He was supposed to be writing a paper for class this morning, so I didn't expect to hear from him until this afternoon. (Now, understand, I have IM capability at work, so he CAN get in touch with me during the day...) I received a quick note from him at about 10am. He was only about 15 minutes into "Serenity," and had to pause the DVD to tell me how much he liked the show already, then said he'd contact me when it was over. Less than an hour later, he was messaging me again - he had to stop the DVD to laugh his tail off at Jayne's comment: "Saw that comin'..." (Before I was able to lend him the DVD, he'd already stopped by FFFn and taken Saint Jayne's Personality Test - he was Jayne by a large margin.) :biggrin: As you can well imagine, his paper didn't get truly worked on until he'd watched all the way through "Serenity", "The Train Job", AND "Bushwacked"... :tongue: When we last spoke today, he said he was going to spend some quality time with his lovely lady-wife. I imagine he's making a convert of his own at this very moment... :wink:

More pressure sucks...

So how about I just found out that the last two girls in my area of curriculum are leaving after this year?! That's means more pressure and stress. :vomit: They weren't kidding when they rated my school as second in the country for most stressful. But dude, I'm so tired of just dreading the going to one particular class because it just feels like no matter how hard I try and bust my ass or how much time I put into it, I just suck at it. :crap: Man I freaking hate being in a class with Grad students. I feel like I don't belong and that's my major, not theirs. :blast: You would think it would help having people that are so far along, but apparently not for me. :disappointed: I just feel so terribly intimidated. :stupid: Fine. I admit I procratinate really bad for that class, but just the meer thought of how much all my time and effort is going to be for naught but a hell of a lot more work ahead, as well as thinking I got it, and learning I don't really hurts. :banghead: I should have gone into Drama. I miss that and just performing in general. But I need the degree. And I really do like my major, I just hate being broken down seemingly all the time... :hanged: Goddess, I need a trip to the beach! Because this really sucks. PS: for anyone who just read this. don't mind me. I only REALLY needed to vent or spend the rest of the day in tears. THanks for listening. School is a thorn in my side at the moment. :blush: :smile: so :finger: school.
