I'm ALIVE!

My anticipated week from hell has ended. It actually wasn't that bad, and I realized how much I missed working under pressure. The website is being presented to Senior Management today in anticipation of a soft launch. It makes me slightly sad that only ACOA staff will be able to view it, but that's 750 people, so it's a big step for me!!

I've read the entire Twilight series this week too... well... I actually read all four books in 2 days. I could NOT put them down! Stephanie Meyer is a GENIUS. Her writing isn't grandeous, it's not convoluted, it's just enough to make a lay person enjoy reading it. My friend told me that it read like fan fiction, and in a way it does. But you see, that's the appeal! I've thought about this, really. Her first person POV of an 18 year old girl who is so in love really does give the atmosphere of the novel that extra electricity that you need. Adding to that, she's included her draft of Midnight Sun, Twilight told in Edward's perspective. If you read Twilight, I highly recommend going to her website and reading the draft - it puts a whole new perspective on the story. I almost (note the key word, almost) wish I was still doing my English degree... I would LOVE to have a discussion about the series. In fact, I'm almost tempted to write a freaking paper on it. Yes, the dork really shines through on that one, I know.

My Weight watchers is going... okay. Not really strict on it, due to my current limitations, but I do have all my meals planned out for January, and I'm working on February! Woo hoo. Living so close to Campus really makes a difference, so I can go home for lunch. I think (*reminder to check my schedule!*)

I've seen Twilight in the theatres... and the book and movie are two completely different entities. I enjoy the movie for what it is, a movie. But nothing compares to the books - it will be interesting if they option the other 2 movies (eclipse and breaking dawn) to see how they'll make it work.

I've only got 24 more days left in Prince Edward Island, which is typical since I'm starting to get used to it. It was the same last summer. Apparetly my transition period is three months.

Figures.
