" My first week of classes of the spring quarter is already over! I love all of my classes but there is just so much reading to do! My favorite class is Topics in Digital Cinema: The Coen Brothers. What we do is every week we split up a Coen brothers movie into the two classes and use the extra time to talk about the films. This past week we watched Blood Simple the very first movie made by them. I was so impressed! It&amp;#039;s a thriller, but at the same time had some comedic aspects to it which made it more enjoyable. After the second class of the week, our assignment is to do the readings from the books we have for class. One has a bunch of interviews with the filmmakers, and another has deeper analyzations of the different films. The only negative thing about the class is that it&amp;#039;s in the morning, and I have never watched a movie so early and it kind of makes me tired easily. Also, this is a bit random but instead of buying my books from the bookstore this quarter, I got them off of Amazon. They are like half the price of what you would pay at your campus bookstore! It&amp;#039;s amazing. I&amp;#039;m so happy I decided to do that. As you may have read my comment in the magazine about using coupons all the time while shopping, you know I love to save money! If you didn&amp;#039;t see it, I basically said that I have a separate email account where I sign up for newsletters and e-mails from my favorite stores and I get coupons and the latest sale event information sent to me. It&amp;#039;s very handy. After a busy week of classes I finally got to go out with my friends. I haven&amp;#039;t had much fun since before finals week of last quarter. We went to my friends birthday party. It was really fun but around 11:30 there were so many people at the house that you could barely move so we just left and got food at the student center, and went home and watched a movie. That&amp;#039;s about it for now! Talk to you guys soon. -Lauren "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
