Progress/ The Jacket

I have just returned from my first final exam of the semester, which was my Intro to Animal Science class. Animal Science is my major, so it was pretty important, and overall I think it went pretty well. It was pretty straightforward with 87 multiple choice questions. There were a few questions about breed differences and metabolism that I was kind of unsure of, but like I said, overall it was a success. However, this was my only exam that didn't take too much preparation. I've made A's all semester in that class, and when I went to study for this exam, I just flipped through my notes and went over some of the anatomy stuff that I didn't do quite as well on. My next final is on Wednesday, and I then have one on Thursday, and these will probably be quite difficult. Preparation for them has already begun, but today is the day that I go nose to the grindstone on them. My Chemistry final, which is one week from today will probably be the most difficult, but since my last final is Thursday, I'll have plenty of time to prepare for it before I actually have to take it next Monday morning. All in all, I'm pretty nervous about all of them though seeing as how these grades are really important for vet school.

Now that I'm through boring everyone, I'll move on to more important matters. Last night I finally saw The Jacket. I must say that although I was quite pleased with all of the scantily clad Adrien Brody moments, I was highly disappointed with the movie in general. Every single character should have been in the mental institution portrayed in this film. They all had issues that needed to be worked out. Keira Knightley really needs to work on her American accent. I'm a big fan of hers, but her performance overall was simply unconvincing. Although I am biased, I thought that Adrien Brody gave a lovely performace. I believe that he has a real talent for portraying unstable characters. However, I felt that the movie was poorly written and difficult to follow. I had to have it explained to me in a running commentary. I just don't understand how people can expect the public to enjoy movies that they cannot even follow. In summary, I wasn't a fan of the movie, but I really enjoyed seeing my future husband wearing not much clothing. :)
