Surviving Back To School

http://the3dimaxofmymind.tumblr.com

Today was my first day of year ten (yes, surprisingly my school started on a friday) and I am proud to say that I survived it. Okay, I will stop being melodramatic. Actually I'm not being melodramatic, school sucks to be blunt. But it's okay because I only have three more years and I hope that I may have a slightly smoother and more exciting life when high schools over. Well, I like to think that anyway.


The day went quite quickly though, even though I had a shift straight after school that I arrived late to. I am to be honest, disappointed that school is exactly the same as we left it. I mean no one's really that interested in what I have to say or to even get to know me better.


It's been great to see some of my friends that I haven't seen for ages though. The ones that actually take a little bit of their time to converse with me and do not seem like their being tortured when doing so.


So to recap, my day went pretty well and I'm glad it is the weekend! Woooooo!

The Fault In Our Stars Trailer Review

I just watched the trailer for the fault in our  stars and as a fan of the book am very, very impressed.




If you haven't watched it, here is a link to it.

Myself and my friends that have read the book have all been worried yet excited for this movie. Naturally a part of me wants to be able to watch the book, to see the novel in front of my eyes in roughly an hour and forty minutes, to see how close what I imagined the scenes and characters to look like is to how John Green wrote them.
Another part of me doesn't want the book to be ruined, badly depicted or have my favourite moments left out.

When I saw the trailer though, I was not disappointed! I was/ still am excited to see the movie. From the trailer it really looks like a job well done. I mean, having John Green, on the set helping with the movie, you'd expect great things. I am looking forward to seeing it and definitely do not think I will be upset with the depiction.


Funnily enough, I myself imagined the characters to look differently while reading The Fault In Our Stars. I imagined Augustus to have darker hair and look somewhat more like this:

I also imagined Hazel as having slightly lighter hair (I mean slightly), and I imagined Isaac having longish golden locks and wearing John Lennon sunglasses.


I guess I'll be changing my visions of the characters the next time I read the novel (which will hopefully be before it arrives in Australia), to the movie versions.


I hope everyone is as impressed and relieved as I am and that we all enjoy the movie, yay!

Life IS like the movies

People say that life's not like the movies.
In many ways I one hundred percent agree with that statement. Everything is glamourised in movies. Love, drugs, hapiness, sadness, broken hearts and boring everyday activities. 

A part of me though, disagrees. Although there is a lot of glamourisation in movies, the stories are real. In both there is sadness, there is perfect moments, there is laughter, there is love, there is broken hearts and there is drugs. 

The thing about movies being like real life that I don't think people pick up is that most of it is the journey. You get a few perfect moments (that's the end of the movie), but the rest is the journey. The sadness and the tears are the bulk of our lives, just like they're the bulk of the movie. 

We spend our time trying to solve/remove the problem that is causing our sadness so we can just have hapiness. The thing is, this happiness is only brief, just like it is in the movies... And then there's a new problem that needs solving and takes a large amount of our time and our reward is a moment of hapiness.

I believe our lives are based around these moments (even if few) and hopefully the more problems we solve the more moments we get.

That's just my theory, that the stories in the movies we watch aren't that far off from the stories of our own lives.

It's just something to ponder over next time you watch your favourite movie.
