Hiya,

Wow, LOTS to do this weekend. I have TWO tests and a speech due all on Tuesday. One of them is a Philosophy test, and I was feeling really worried about it earlier, but thankfully I had John to help me out. He's now my study partner for that class, except he seems to know MUCH more on the subject than I do. Half the time the only things that were coming out of my mouth were, "Oh... hmm... yea, I don't get this..." or "and uh... what did YOU write down for this?" hahahah yea, I'm glad we were able to get together on it, I think I've made a good friend today, and I'm feeling much more confident for the test. Thanks John!

Ooo, another thing about school that I'm pretty excited about, I've signed up to be a tutor at a high school nearby. I've decided I'm not going to go for the Bacchus program, not this semester anyway. I don't think they are very organized to be honest. I've tried to get information on the club like three times, and their leader wouldn't be there or the meeting would be cancelled or something. I e-mailed them and gave them my name and e-mail address so they could contact me in the Fall if need be. But anyway, about the tutoring. I did a little bit in high school, and there were no problems there, except I can't help but feel a little intimidated, you know? They're having me do an interview for it, and they want me to write out a resume and everything. I understand all that and have no problem doing those things, but hello! I'm not THAT smart! I did ok freshmen year but those kids just seem to be getting smarter and smarter! Just a few months ago I was talking to a girl in EIGHTH grade and how she and her class were doing a project on the Amistad. Ummm I didn't learn about that until I was a SOPHOMORE. Jeez... so we'll see how it goes. Wish me luck I suppose. :-)

Mom and Dad are still in Palm Springs, having a splendid time I'm sure. I'm glad that they're able to get out into the sun and everything. Completely jealous, but that's ok because Tim and I always have a blast together. Since I watched all of his James Bond films (all 21 of them!) he said that he would be willing to watch 21 of MY favorite movies! Well, I thought that, most of my favorite movies are ones that he's already seen, so I've decided expose him to classic chick flicks instead! Cool huh? Well I think it's a great idea. So far, we've watched Pretty in Pink, and tonight we just finished with Pride and Prejudice. (The 1995 version with Colin Firth). Ok, did anyone else know that it was crapping 5 HOURS long?? I am NOT exaggerating. There were two discs, and both of them were two and a half hours in lenght. THAT was a shock... but guess what, he watched them with me anyway!! Name ONE guy who would be willing to do that for his sister... awwww

Alright so, if anyone else has some ideas as to what other chick flicks my brother should become aware of, I'd love to hear it! However, I will not accept any Julia Roberts movies, unless you want to see me puke... hahah ok so far, I've written down:


Love Me If You Dare
Man in the Moon
Moulin Rouge
The Notebook
Phantom of the Opera (new version)
Romeo and Juliet (the 1969 version)
Steel Magnolias
Strictly Ballroom
Terms of Endearment
Wedding Date
Working Girl
Dirty Dancing
Say Anything
The Last of the Mohicans



What do you guys think? Alrighty then, it's late and there's work tomorrow.... hmmm funny, I've got a sudden headache.... anyway, talk to you soon! Love you all!

Love,
Steph
