rachel et moi... movies.

my friend rachel doesn't watch a lot of movies. and honestly, neither do i. however, there is a long list of movies i've seen that she hasn't that i would consider great movies.

this is where i just keep that list [as i discover and remember them] to be updated as they arise. this is in no particular order.

eurotrip.
under the tuscan sun.
sex and the city movie.
ps. i love you.
swing kids.
newsies.
molière.
le dîner de cons.
im juli.

cette fille arrive à se remettre sur les rails...

^fr je joue encore le foot... après un très longtemps!! achso, le titre veut dire que je vais changer ma vie pour le meilleur. je suis bien motivée... je courais et j'ai acheté un journal pour courir et un autre pour bien-être. je vais surveiller tout ce que je mange. je vais exercer plus regulièrement et dormir plus et mieux.

ce changement va transférer aussi à ma vie scolaire. j'ai décidé (seulement un an trop tard) ce que je veux vraiment faire comme étude et carrière. je vais changer ma spécialisation de français et allemand aux études internationales avec un accent sur l'economie politique appliquée, c'est-à-dire les relations internationales. j'ai seulement 3 ou 4 cours plus pour une spécialisation française, donc je pense qu'il sera les deux. les mauvaises nouvelles sont que je doit peut-être lâcher mes études allemandes. j'en peux pas! et à cause de cela, je vais rester ici à l'université d'arizona pour un trimestre plus. :( yay... class of fall 2011! [insérer le sarcasme ici] mais en ce cas-là, je vais pas gaspiller mon temps avec quelque chose que je regrette plus tard comme une erreur.



^en i'm playing football again... after a very long time!! anyways, the title means that i'm going to change up my life for the better. i'm well-motivated... i have been running and i bought a workout journal and a well-being journal. i'm going to watch all that i eat. i'm going to exercise more regularly and sleep more and better.

this change is also going to transfer to my school life. i decided (only a year too late) what i really want to do in school and as a career. i'm going to change my major from french and german to international studies with an emphasis in applied political economics, that is to say international relations. i only have 3 or 4 more courses for my french major, so i think that it'll end up being those two. the bad news is that i might have to drop my studies in german. i really don't want to! and because of that, i'm going to be here at the u of a for another for another semester longer. :( yay... class of fall 2011 [insert sarcasm here] but at least in this case, i'm not wasting my time on something i'll regret as a mistake later.

qu'est-ce que vous collectionnez?

^fr rachel et moi faisons un projet finale pour français. ce projet remplace notre examen finale. le critère de ce projet est simplement pour creer quelque chose, soit un essai, soit un projet comme un vidéo, qui mélange au moins de deux concepts des textes et des films que nous avons étudiés dans ce cours. j'aime notre idée et j'espère qu'il marche bien aussi. nous allons collectionner les collections, c'est-à-dire que nous avons demandé des collections de nos amis. nous allons creer un collage de sortes pour montrer l'idée de « les glaneurs et la glaneuse » par agnès varda, mais il va être comme le photo-roman « la jetée » réalisé par chris marker.

pourriez-vous nous aider? envoyez un photo de toi en t'engageant dans ou avec ta collection. mon email est klocko@email.arizona.edu

merci en avance!!


^en rachel and i are making a final project for french. this project replaces our final exam. the criteria for this project is simply to create something, be it an essay, be it a project like a video, that combines at least two concepts from the texts and films that we have studied in this course. i like our idea and i hope that it goes well too. we're going to collect collections, that is to say that we've asked our friends for their collections. we're going to create a collage of sorts to show the idea presented in "the gleaners and i" by agnès varda, but it's also going to be set as a photomontage "the jetty" (or "the pier") directed by chris marker.

would you all please help us? send a photo of yourself engaged in or engaging with your collection or a part of your collection. my email is klocko@email.arizona.edu

thank you sososo much!

impatient.

ok, david horvitz.

ask and you shall receive!

now that it's getting down to the last 5 weeks before my winter trip to europe, i'm trying to work through my checklist. at the top of this list is: a winter coat.

so i asked my mom "so, can i have a coat and winter clothes for my birthday?"
"actually, wanna try one that i've had in my closet for a year?"

so now i can cross off an insulated jacket!


but then i remembered, i also have a peacoat too!

YUM!

i think my body is trying to kill me...
i've had this weird craving for a chili dog for about a week...

this was dinner:

two home-made chili-con-carne-cheese-dogs and tots... aka the clogged-arteries-and-heart-stopper plate!

and of course... dessert was my 6th cup of hot chocolate in the last week.

mm mm good. campbell's soup ain't got nothin' on me n' my cocoa!
