Welcome to Gaia! ::

Good morning Moonie! *hugs* How you doing? I'm slowly working my way back up to over 100k. So far I'm at 20k! At least it's a decent start instead of 7k or lower! ^_^*

It's hard to believe that it's almost the end of the term. Today is the last day of class for a couple of my classes. Gonna miss some of the folks I befriended during that time - especially the folks I won't be seeing again next year. *sighs* Live long and prosper!

Oh! surprised I remember what I wanted to write about.

When I was getting out of my Environment & Human Life class today, a couple of my male classmates were walking behind me and their conversation was about Alice in Wonderland. One of them was starting to read the actual text, and he was saying how different it is from the movie stuff. He kept saying that it was very "morbid" and "dark"... and I think he even said that it was like an "acid trip." All of those statements I can agree with, since I've read the Alice in Wonderland stories myself.

*briefly reviews what she's covering in her presentation*

Just going to type out what I'll sort of say during my presentation...

Hello, my name is Moonie. I chose J.J. Abrams' film Star Trek and covered the diversity aspects displayed. The Star Trek franchise began when Gene Roddenberry began creating an idea for a science fiction show, which later became known as Star Trek: The Original Series. This series became the first high quality science fiction TV series and featured the first diversified cast. Despite the series only lasting for 3 years - the show became famous leading to various succeeding series and currently 11 movies. Most of the movies created were sequel spin-offs to either The Original Series or the second Star Trek series - The Next Generation. J.J. Abram's film, however, does not follow this trend. Instead his film - simply called Star Trek - is a prequel spin-off. In Star Trek (2009), Abrams reintroduces audiences to the original Star Trek characters. As I introduce you to the main crew that primarily work on the bridge of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise, I will point out the diversity that appears. *goes through introducing the characters - doing further in-depth info for Uhura, Spock, and Nero with what's respected*

Blah blah blah... Okay... I'll be fine. I'm sure my teacher won't be too strict with the timing stuff. And I'm sure I'll be just fine timing wise. I tried to keep my information limited to do the shorter presentation time stuff. *sighs*

*looks at BBC Sherlock fanart on dA*

*tries to keep herself from laughing outloud at some of the pieces she looks at* I don't want to disturb the others... sweatdrop

Good morning - well, afternoon now - everyone. sweatdrop

So you know how yesterday I was preparing to do my whole slideshow presentation and what not. Well, I ended up not having to do it, because all our teacher ended up having us do was sit at our desk and just talk about what we covered. *sighs* So I ended up making that slideshow for nothing. But I'm going to show it to my parents... so... *shrugs*

Anyway, today is my last day of Y.A. Lit. It's hard to believe that it's already the end of the term. I'm happy about it... but there's also a part of me that's going to miss certain aspects of my classes.

Today is also the Ornament and Cookie decorating event. I hoping to at least be able to decorate an ornament during the event... so I'm going just as the event starts.
