Fright or Flight???

The new movie 'The Rite' is out soon and I cant wait !!!!!! The trailer is off the hook. Its not quite Halloween, but don't we just love a good scare?


Right now I need a safe, pain free way to have an adrenaline rush like this and I would enjoy the splish splash of blood through my brain as my heart beats faster. Since I was young Ive always liked to feel the raised goosebumps on my neck and arms when im afraid. Even if I had to sleep with my mum after, I could never stop watching Nightmare on Elms street. I saw one particularly awful one with clowns in it and since then I have a fear of them and shop mannequins. Maybe I am weird, but I dont like things that imitate human life. Dolls and fake limbs can be thrown into that category as well, and many horror flicks will feature these objects as the main 'scare factors'. So if you see me walking fast past the shops, just blame it on a messed up childhood lol. Fear normally breeds curiosity, in me it breeds brisk walking or careful hiding as the case may be!

Won't give you a movie review but the Rite is about a exorcist (Sir. Anthony Hopkins) who becomes possessed....

After all this coursework, I am in desperate need of a breather and will see this film the day it comes out. I need to fill the empty boxes of my mind with some real me time.

In other news, my presentation today about Wellness Tourism in India went smoothly apart from our initial problems with a you tube clip. We all worked hard to create the A2 poster we would be using to provide visual stimulus to our class. After the initial hiccup, everything went without a hitch and I am thankful to the other members of the group who made it a success.
that the sun came out for a couple hours too. So that's one more thing to smile about today!

Uni is about to be on spring break in a few weeks and theres so much to be done. I have another presentation and a 6000 word event planning portfolio due before I go off. Its driving me up the walls because even in draft stages nothing seems perfect enough. Sometimes when you have so much course work to do, everything else like mopping up, washing my hair etc seems so much more important, but I need to stay focus and not allow my brain to wander off too far.

I have decided not to run in the student union elections this year after careful consideration that being on a sabbatical will delay my degree by a year. It made me realise how much I want to get to the gown and ceremony bit of my education, especially as a post graduate degree may be in the works... So I have opted to enter an entrepreneurial competition, and I have to draft and submit a successful business plan to be in the running for a £5000 prize. Over the years Ive had several ideas swimming round my head, modelling agency, makeup society etc. They all seem to change over time with my maturity I guess, but I have a special idea in my head with regard to international students that I think could lift off.... I am not in it for the money, I'm more focused on the connections and networking capabilities that entry into the competition would provide. Not that I wouldn't love the prize money, but some things in life are priceless, meeting successful business heads is one of them. I go to a preparation session next week sometime so I will see how that pans out and if my idea is indeed viable.

That said, its one day to the weekend we all live for. A day I get closer to do all my girly stuff, nails, hair, face mask lol. I like being pretty for my weekend and plan to light the candles and play some 80's soul music to get back in touch with my 'inner self' (thank God for wellness tourism lessons). But until I reach out to you again, its One Love from Momo!!!!
