The Princess Diaries 2

I just saw this movie and I have to say I was disappointed in the film. I was looking for a romance that felt real. This movie felt fake. The problem is the main character isn’t a child, but five years older and collage graduate. She should be an adult with grace, but instead I see childlike mishaps. It isn’t the mishaps that take away from the film, but the opportunities missed immediately following each one. The romance seemed to deliberate and too abrupt. It should have flowed more smoothly, like a chance meeting with Nicolas. Instead of, you shoo away my fiancé while I will go talk to cute pie (Nicolas). It is the little things I didn’t like. For example, the timing seemed off, the dialogue was missed placed and the mottos didn’t blend in well. These are things a child would not pick up on, but it doesn’t meet my tastes. I was expecting something more, better than this.

I think I need to see a real tear jerker or an adult romance.

Sorry about the absence.

I have been too busy to write. Four courses and extracurricular activities are keeping me away from the computer. Two of my classes are five credit classes; the classes are Calculus and physics and require me to be at the top of my game. It is necessary to use ingenuity and intellect to understand and do my classes. My extracurricular activities are another aspect to my life. I am the Physics Club president and the secretary of the Campus Activities Board. For the Physics club, I create the agenda and find activities for the physics club to do. CAB requires me to attend the all the meetings, record notes for the minuets and know everything that is going on. To be successful, I plan, organized and prioritize. With all I do, I find writing to be low on my list of priorities.

What, I am writing?

I despise writing! This is my final decision after I had two, two hour spurts on the same paper. I have a large enough word count to hand the paper in, but my paper says nothing. I see it go in five different directions and it dose not fallow the thesis statement.

I do not know if my thesis statement matches the rest of the paper. Oh hell, I do not know where the paper is going. All the parts are related in some way. How they relate I haven’t found it out. My writing is similar to Lewis Thomas, but my topics appear more closely related. I need to find the broader topic I am looking for. I guess in an exploratory essay, the search is the path to discovery. I will find the thing I never knew existed. My writing is an expression of that, since I do not know what I am looking for (in my thesis) and I write to find it. I can safely say, I am taking full advantage of this quest in my writing. I explore a wide range of topics from death to how I fit into the big picture. It is a mangled mess to find out my thesis and ultimately who I am.
