It has been a whirlwind week.
Wednesday I took a calc test that beat the crap out of me {80% on the multiple choice of TEN QUESTIONS but the seven or eight pages of written just ate me alive} and then immediately afterward went to a concert downtown with Julie. The doors said they'd open at 730 so we were there at 7 and didn't get in until almost 9. We also went to this club and got virgin martinis, haha. There's no alcohol there at all.. Mormons. The concert was fabulous. I didn't really like the opener, Chasing Kings, but they were still pretty good. The main band, Imagine Dragons, was so good. I had only heard three of their songs before going and I am in love now. The energy was great, the lead singer was really good, and the music was just awesome! Julie and I did get hit on by two high schoolers the entire time though. That was uncomfortable. I tried to get rid of them but miss Julie kept flirting back! Geez, the little turd. The concert went until 11 at which point we had to walk home. All two miles from downtown Provo. Alex and I were texting and he kept asking where I was. That was a little fishy and then all of the sudden I saw him and his buddies across the street from us on University. Hahha, turns out they were running around Provo and he tracked us down. So we hung out with them for a little while and I finally got home at midnight or one.
Yesterday was also a crazy day. All I remember from that morning is being really tired and taking a lot of notes in class. I skipped calculus since it was just a post-exam review session and went home and slept. I crashed on my couch, woke up two hours later completely disoriented, freaked my roommates out with how delirious it was, kept checking the date because I didn't know what day it was, and went to the Creamery only to walk back empty-handed, unsure of why I'd gone. It was kind of weird. I finally pulled myself together and got ready to go to the temple. Alex picked me up at 7 and we went to get some old friends in Heritage. Eight girls, one guy, and one car later we all did baptisms together, hahhaha. It was nice. I love the temple, those girls, and that guy, so I rather enjoyed myself. We got out around 10 {freaking Provo temple! It's always so crazy in there!!!} and Alex and I sped down to Spanish Fork. After grabbing some pizza and chatting with his folks we headed out to Payson for the midnight premiere of The Hunger Games!
I loved these books. I squealed with delight every day when the countdown was going to the movie coming out. I cannot tell you how excited I was! :D AHHH! The theater was pretty full and we ended up getting... 3rd row from the front seats. Which was fine, I could deal with that until... the movie started. Remember.. Battle LA? The cinematography for it? How the cameraman seemed like he was on crack and had really weak arms the camera was shaking so bad? That's exactly how they began The Hunger Games! Just like that! Ten minutes in and the close-up, sitting-close, shaking mess had given me complete motion sickness and a headache. I wanted to cry I was so disappointed. I couldn't even watch the movie I had BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO FOR FOREVER. It was fairly heartbreaking.
When this happened at Avatar I left the theater and sat in the lobby for an hour and a half. When it happened at Battle LA I closed my eyes, curled up in my seat and listened to the whole thing. At Hunger Games I could have left but would have been bored, and besides, listening is better than nothing! As long as I kept my eyes closed I was okay. I could see the flashes of light through my eyelids and when they slowed down, indicating a steady camera shot hopefully, I would glance up and watch, peeking back into my arms the second the shakiness began again. That way I was able to watch... maybe five scenes. It really wasn't a terrible method, and since I read the books I could imagine what was going on anyway. Alex got all flustered and was like, "if you're not feeling well then just leave!" Dude, I got this. Just let me listen to my movie in peace. And it sounded really good. Pretty spot-on to the books. I wasn't a fan of the music... or lack thereof.. in the beginning, especially at the Reaping, but it got better. It was a good movie {I think}.
We got home around three and I crashed. I set my alarm for seven thinking maybe I'd make it to classes but then I just went back to sleep. M, W, F I only have bio and calc, back-to-back, and I've never skipped. Since biology is a joke of a class anyway and I can study the textbook for today's calculus materials, I didn't feel too bad about missing. Besides, that just gives me a second Saturday today! I'll probably do calculus homework and start on my history essay but aside from that I will be chilling. I won't get to see Alex and I don't have any other plans so.. yeah.. relaxation it is I guess. Tomorrow will be a party, but we shall see. :)
