My head hurts from all the reading I've been doing all week.  Procrastinators FTW? ... Maybe?

Anyway, I didn't make it to Highline Park on Thursday.  Instead, I got a wonderful invitation to see some previews of the New York Film Festival with Brent.  He met me at my place and we took the subway (yes, subway) over to Lincoln Center where we watched the previews and heard commentary on them. The list of films showing this year is amazing. The festival is starting with the world premiere of The Social Network, and continues with films from all over the world (including the five hour version of Carlos) and the showing of Julie Taymor's The Tempest.  The festival closes with the premiere of Clint Eastwood's new film.

After the viewing, Brent and I went to a little French cafe where we had a dinner and caught up on everything. We also decided what movies we would be seeing at the festival, and I'm really excited about that. :)

Leaving the cafe, we passed by Zach Braff and Victor Garber, and I (being a little wine drunk) did everything I could to not get really excited. But I may have squealed just a bit - it was my first celebrity sighting, I couldn't help it.  Luckily they didn't notice and I walked a couple blocks with my hand over my mouth to remain silent.  I talked to Ashleigh and Chris on my way back home, which was just what I needed. I, seriously, cannot wait to go back and see everyone again.

Besides all of that, I have been finishing the books I have to read for school by Monday- though yesterday I found myself watching an entire K-Drama series. I consider it as a good break from the work I've been doing.

Tomorrow the tickets for the festival go on sale, and I also have my orientation. Then school starts on Monday. I'm excited and nervous about it all.  I really hope this is the right thing for me to be doing. ... We'll see, I guess. :)
