I'm taking my master's exams this week and am so nervous. :eek: I feel very underprepared for them, but I really don't think one can totally prepare for them. Anyway, if you could send some good vibes this way, I'd appreciate it! :xoxo: :wavey:

Consider them sent. :xoxo: Good luck and be sure to eat a lot. You need to during such stressful times in order to retain all that information. :laugh:

Thank you. :) Thank God they're letting me bring in a page of notes. I can't imagine going in there with nothing.

Good luck, dear. Don't eat too many Carbs, it will render your mind sluggish. :laugh:
My friend did hers, last year, and was very nervous, but she was a rousing success, they offered her a position at Chico State. I'm sure yours will go just as swimmingly. Remember - you are you, and no one else has the same to offer - so don't be nervous. Think of it as just telling all you know. After all, you can't do better than that, right? No use being nervous over it, being nervous will only hinder you.
Own the moment! You get to talk about everything you have learned! :thumbsup: Think of it as your moment to act and shine.

The GRE. *Shudder*

I'm getting it in communication. I really enjoy what I study.

Here's some good news, Krista...

I just read an interview with Nicole Kidman and she said that when she's done shooting her Diane Arbus biopic later in the summer, she's going to make the third film in the Dogville trilogy. :D

Good vibes are coming your way. You are right about the "not being able to totally prepare for them" part. When I took mind, I just studied what I felt like was definitely going to be on there and hoped for the best on the rest. I know that you will do just fine. Tests like these always make you nervous though, but try to relax. You know this stuff! Anyway, I came out of it fine, and so will you. :D

I answered my first question today, and although I was a nervous wreck going in, once I got to writing I settled down some. It wasn't that bad. One down, two to go. :D

Thanks, it has been a few years at this point, but I still remember those Masters' exams. But like I told you, you will make it just like I did. You are through the first question, and you'll make it through the others. You have got this in the bag. Don't worry. :)

You're welcome! I was ecstatic. :laugh: I still can't wait to see part two in June, though. That's the one I'm really looking forward to this year, along with The Interpreter next weekend.

I was skeptical of the Interpreter at first, but I think it's going to be a good, enjoyable thriller. And with the lovely Nicole....all the better. :)

I'd watch her wash dishes. She's my fabrit. :nod: I watched To Die For again last night and that movie is hilarious. "Don't speak that way, it's offensive. And against FCC regulations to boot."

Sydney Pollack directed The Interpreter and I've gotten into him a bit quite recently, so it might be pretty darn good. I'm not a Sean Penn fan, but that's okay, I suppose. The reviews I've read say that it's quite good and I'm just hoping for a kicker of an ending...

It's kind of sad how I gush over her all the time, but I can't help it. :laugh: She's just that wondeful. :nod:

Pollack is a fine director. I <3 Three Days of the Condor, even though I detest Redford. Eh, he was tolerable in teh 1970s. :laugh:

Oh, honey, I sing that girl praises to anyone who will listen. She's phenomenal. And just think, I'm going to inflict torture upon myself in the form of Will Ferrell just so that I can see her in Bewitched. :laugh:

My favorite one from Pollack is They Shoot Horses, Don't They. The first time I saw it, I was blown out of my seat by the ending. Anyone who says they saw it coming is lying through their teeth! One of the most shocking things I've *ever* seen in a movie.

Oh, you should, it's a great film. It doesn't get the recognition that it should. Jane Fonda is fantastic in it, probably her best performance.

I was skeptical too, the accent kind of threw me off. But I'm sure she's fabulous in it. And I wish you well on your other questions this week, you will do well I am sure. :)

And Diss, you don't like Sean Penn? What the? I <3 him. I haven't seen To Die For though! I wanted to see it and never did and had forgotten about it. I gotta put it on my list.

Sean Penn bores me like Daniel Day Lewis bores me, he plays the same role in almost every movie it seems. He was laughably bad in I Am Sam, that movie and his performance should be playing at midnight on Saturdays with audience participation. I felt compelled to send him a ham after seeing it. I think he was phenomenal back in the day, but as the years wore on, he became so incredibly serious that it really ****ed up his performances. I will see his new movie All the King's Men, though, because Kate Winslet and Jude Law are in it and I <3 them. And The Interpreter, of course. :D

To Die For is a GREAT movie, you'll like it (the book is fab, too). Kidman attacks that role with such gusto that you forget it's even her. I can't believe she won a Golden Globe for it but didn't get an Oscar nomination!

Oh, like when he masterfully played Spicoli in Fast Times? Yeah, he was phenomenal. :D
