My Weekend Started at 10:20AM This Morning

It hasn't stopped raining here since Monday. It's kinda annoying, but not a big deal...

I finished my (one) class today at the above-mentioned time, and that began my weekend. It was a pretty light week, as my heaviest day is (easily) Thursday, which was cancelled because of the afore-mentioned National Day.

Last night I got back up on the horse and went out with a couple of my friends, Dominic and Wolfgang (another couple of Germans), into the city. It was a fun night, but I was a little tired this morning. No pictures, as there really wasn't a good picture opportunity.

After class today, I came back to my room and finished up a newsletter for the BC Accounting Academy, of which I am an officer. After doing this and sending it out to the greater BC community, I went to meet with a group for my film class to watch West Side Story. My group consists of myself, Simone (from BC), and Susanne (also from BC). We are preparing a presentation which compares West Side Story with Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, its source material. I had never seen West Side Story before, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Sure, it was far too melodramatic at parts, a little long, and the acting was a bit stiff, but the movie is very good. The dancing was pretty cool, and some of the songs weren't bad.

After the movie, I went to work out. That went well.

I then came back to my hall, only to find a letter from the bank stating my replacement debit card was ready to be picked up. So I showered and then hustled up there, as I received the letter at 4pm, and the bank would be closed for the weekend at 5pm. But I got there, and the wallet is starting to grow again to its proper size.

I came back to my room, checked some emails, then I decided to watch Barbarians at the Gate, which was quite a good adaptation. Obviously the book is better, but the movie does a pretty good job of sticking to the story and not getting entirely off track. It left out a few details, nothing too big, but my major problem with it was the movie's Henry Kravis had a slight British accent. He's from Oklahoma. It didn't quite fit. But a good movie nonetheless, and worthwhile if you've read the book.

I got some dinner afterwards, talked to the birthday girl on skype, and now I'm rather tired. I think I will read (finish, actually) my book. Have a good day.
