If you plan on seeing the movie Mystic River, you might not want to read ahead. I'll do my best not to give anything critical away.

i like to think of myself is a very understanding film critic. i can understand and accept certain endings despite the fact that they may not be what i want to see happen. it's fine. happens all the time. but tonight's endng was just . . . rather unacceptable to me. one of the characters had a really messed up thing happen to him as a kid and his whole life was messed up because of it. and the whole movie he's made out to be the bad guy, but then in the end, you find out that he's definitely not. in fact, he ends up being one of the better people, but that doesnt stop him from getting his life and his family's messed of the most in the end. and the other guys just end up "fine". i was rather angered by it. and it sucks because it was a good movie. it had a great cast and they did a great job acting. but in the end it just seemed to be a movie about the sucky life of this one guy was dealt. i dont know. but as the ending was happening, i just remember knowing that this was the end and that i hated it.

we're working on grammar and sentence structure in hungarian language class. it's getting really hard. the whole prefix and suffix thing they have going on with their language upsets me.

i've been toying with the idea of being in band next year. i may not be weighed down by classes and i hear it's a good schedule. AND i'd get to play notre dame's fight song! it's my favorite. who knows. if anyone else is joining, let me know ;).
