  Yea, I’m added psych 380 just so I appear as a full time student. 
  Hopefully I can get into Racquetball; I’m should be able to get into
  PHIL 321 (ancient phil history) and Phil 346 (deductive systems) and
  I’m also gonna be doing research. 

  So yea, I may end up taking either 19 credits or 17.5 credits next semester, if all works out…*Cross fingers*
  ————————————————————————————–

  Time for another edition of Chan’s Movie Review:

  Hard Candy

  
  
  
  First off, this is one of the most psychologically thrilling
  movies I have ever seen.  You really don’t see too much, but the way
  that they imply certain actions and internal struggles was just too
  good. 

  Note to the girls:  you
  will probably really like the girl because she does some things that
  you may sometimes wish you can do to an awful guy.  Note to the guys:  be prepared to feel some pain in your balls (AIYA!)

  I’m not gonna spoil too much, but it’s basically about a girl who
  psychologically/physically punishes a pediphile.  However there is much
  more to it…

  Great job acting for the two stars.  Seriously, even though it was
  mainly them talking the entire movie, I never really felt bored because
  you just hold onto every single word, feeling every pain that the guy
  feels, feeling all the internal emotions…yea, pretty fun stuff.

  This movie will make you think about your morals and will offer a lot of tense moments, just to add a final warning

  Pros:  Acting, atmosphere, camera work, yea quite a lot
  Cons:  Sandra Oh’s
  character wasn’t really that necessary (she’s only in the movie for 2
  minutes or so), could have had a little more back story on the guy

  Chan’s Final rating:  A
  —————————————————————————————

  AHHH I’ve been so sick the past few days, but what can you do? 

  Guess what, I”m gonna be living in Susquehanna 183 next year with Jeff, Marvin, and Kevin!  Too bad we didnt get Erikson but o well, Sus is still good.  I can’t wait…

  So yea, that means im gonna need to pay some more money for next year . 
  I got tuition covered with the grants I got from FASFA, but That still
  leaves another 8,000 dollars or so for housing.  Hopefully I can
  win one or both of the UMBC scholarships i applied for and hopefully I
  can get that insurance job over the summer to help pay for some. 
  I don’t wanna burden my parent’s funds too badly…we’ll see what
  happens.  If I decided to live on campus my senior year I’m gonna
  try to be an RA so I can get some free housing

  Tonight at 8:30pm I’m gonna register for classes.  I’ll get into
  most of the classes I want (maybe).  We’ll just have to find out
  tonight…
