I saw Twilight tonight! I was soooo excited, I could barely stand it. I told everyone that I came across that I was going to go and I didn’t care what they thought. My friend and I bought our tickets weeks ago because we were afraid that it would sell out.
It was as good as I expected it to be. There was definitely chemistry between the two main actors (Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson — aka Bella and Edward), and it followed the book pretty closely, which is always a big plus. My biggest complaint is that it was definitely geared toward a younger audience, which isn’t always a bad thing, but some of the things that were done and said were a little cheesy. If I had only seen the movie and not read the book I would not be in love with Edward the way I was after reading the book. That Edward always did and said the right thing. This Edward was a little awkward. But he did glitter, and really, that’s all that matters.
If I was asked to see it again, I definitely would, but I don’t know when I’d find time. It’s getting to be crunch time at school, with my first final less than two weeks away. Thanksgiving is so late this year, the semester ends the week after we get back from break. I’m starting to stress a little bit.
I did find out that I still have a chance of passing my accounting class. If we score better on the multiple choice section of the final than we did on the entire second exam, that grade will be replaced. It shouldn’t be too hard for me to do that; I just need to read all the chapters a few times and ace the multiple choice. If I put my mind to it, I can do this. I have to do it.
Now I must sleep. I’m going to Chicago in the morning for the lighting of Michigan Avenue. I’m really excited. I love Chicago and don’t get to visit as much as I used to when I lived only 80 miles away.
Plus, Mickey Mouse is leading the parade. It doesn’t get much better than that!
