Art, food and friends

SCHOOL IS STARTING IN A WEEK *hyperventilates*
I'm so unprepared I feel like booking the next flight out and hiding out the semester somewhere else like a fugitive. Just thinking about what modules to select saps my energy. Somehow I just cannot muster up any enthusiasm for the coming academic year OTL

What I've been up to since I returned from europe: for the most part I've been lying around the house like a sack of potatoes, reading and occasionally getting up to annoy my cat while she naps. The few occasions when I actually gathered up enough energy to drag my lazy arse outta the house:

Tea at TCC with Tang and Jane, and then sushi

Harry Potter and Andy Warhol's exhibitions with Ling and Kitt

We got the all-access pass and went to both exhibitions. Andy Warhol's exhibition was interesting, to say the least. He seems like a weird person, but then again I suppose all artists are weird in some way or other. There was a photobooth in the exhibition hall but it was under maintenance! I was so disappointed ): they even laid out wigs and props for you to take quirky photos.

The harry potter exhibition was okay. The Warner Brothers studio tour in London was definitely more comprehensive (we got to see more of the movie sets, props etc), but the exhibition was more interactive in a sense, 'cause you get to throw quaffles into the hoops, pull up mandrakes and hear them squeal, and sit in Hagrid's chair in his hut. The merch shop at the exhibition was definitely smaller and had less merch than the one at the WB studio, but one thing in common is that the merchandise is equally expensive!! I gave in and bought a tiny chocolate frog for $6. At least the collector's card I got was Dumbledore I suppose.

Had a spontaneous movie date with Keetee today, 'cause we were both so bored and I had a movie pass for two free tickets! Watched total recall; it's a pretty cool movie. Had dinner at food for thought, and chilled at Starbucks after the movie.

I do not want to go back to school ;___;
