This morning I watched Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters and it was a lot better than the first movie. Like so much better. But I fear my opinion is very much skewed by the supporting performances of Stanley Tucci and Nathon Fillion. Fillion in particular because he was easily my favorite part of the movie and he was only in it for a few minutes. I want a spin-off where he is the lead.

I made more revisions to my statement of objectives. First I fixed the few words and sentences that were bothering me. Then I got a response back from my friend with all of her revisions. Some I had already fixed, and some didn't work for me, but I did use several of her suggestions and I think it made the paper better. I just read over it again and there are two more words I want to fix so I'm going to think about those for awhile. Never have I put so much thought and work into two, double-spaced pages. I just hope it's worth it. But even if I don't get accepted, writing this paper has given me some insight into myself.

Tonight I watched the first season of The Librarians on Hulu. It is kind of like an Australian version of The Office, set in a library. I wouldn't say it was great but it was interesting. It had it's funny moments. Maybe enough to watched the next two seasons but I could easily lose interest before that happens. Next I want to watch Moone Boy which I heard about awhile ago but never got around to watching. It is also on Hulu and it stars Chris O'Dowd who plays the imaginary friend of a twelve-year-old boy. It sounds pretty funny.

Overall, today was pretty boring. As tomorrow will most likely mirror. My goal is to make the final revisions to my statement of objectives and get that sent in. The deadline is July 1^st but I am wondering if my interview will be scheduled for sometime after that or if it is based on when they get all of my application materials. I guess I will find that out soon enough. Anyway, I want to do something tomorrow. I'll probably end up watching at least one movie and other things but maybe I will start cross stitching. There is at least one more pattern I want to design so that might come first. I also want to read. I am almost officially failing at reading a book a week because I finished one last week but probably won't this week. Although last week was the last week of school so maybe I can count last week's book for this week, it being the first week of summer break. Tweaking the rules of my goal isn't the best way to start. But life goes on. Although I do have plenty of short books so maybe I'll just pick one of those and knock it out by Sunday.
