Day off from studies

Well well... mid semester break is finally coming. I have been waiting impatiently for it. I am so glad that after tomorrow it will be officially 2 weeks of break.
Anyhow, nothing much happen over the past one week. But, this particular day, studies was not in my agenda to a rather large extent.
When over to EFS this morning to play around with a new statistical/ mathematical program which i was introduced just a day ago known as "Scientific Notebook". It is a rather interesting program in the aspect of my mathematics & statistic world. As much as i will like to own a copy of it so that i can use it anytime but it is too costly for its even very basic licences. Oh well, since EFS labs have it, i will make do with it until, i have decided to establish my career in it that i will go deep consideration on having one. It had all the mathematical symbol as well as statistical technical icons all at hand- really handy, that means i will not need to hunt the entire Microsoft to get what i want and at times there is not sure available features.
Oh ok, so much of not having a study day---- after playing around with it, i when over to mac centre to do a couple of my "to do list for the day". Getting adjusted this day felt so good. I was totally stiffed over the last couple of days but Dan was great in reliving it.
After which, i met up with Johnny... had lunch and then we kinda off decided that we will just shop around for a bit. It was like after few minutes, he thought that a movie will be good as we were both free for the afternoon; which i must say is pretty rare in my calender of events. In addition, it came to me as a surprise that he is wanting to watch a show. Anyhow, i was all up for it. Head over to Greater Union and started to decide what to watch. We both had our 1st choice as Step Up 2- main plot: Romantic sparks occur between two dance students from different backgrounds at the Maryland School of the Arts.; so that was the movie we watched. But, prior to that as the movie only starts in about 1.5 hours time we will basically going round and round the shops and just window shopping most of the time and chatting about random stuff; that was a great way of catching up and just doing what most girls favour, shopping.
I was not too sure if the movie was going to be my type as i have not got a glimpse of the preview before. But, i did enjoy it- i thought there was 2 parts of it which did really hit me hard. One of which was where Andie made the decision not to join the rest of the group mates to dance out in the street but her foster carer believe in her and encourage her to go for it, believing in her potential did make me a little emotional as i have also like other to believe in my capability and give me the support as a motivation force. The other was when Andie made the statement of what street dancing is all about; having people from different creed and walks of life coming together and doing what they are passionate about. I totally is in support of it, i believe that it is only when you pursue in something that you like that you will not only success but is going to give you a life time of happiness doing it no matter how difficult things are.
Thus, a little conclusion for the movie, The movie was Good! However, it made me wonder why Chaz's jacket was dry after having danced in the rain for the last part whereas everybody else was soaked. Moose's moves was awesome especially the part where he broke down on the steps of an all so classical artistic school!

heya...it was great time spending time with you :)

For people who haven't seen it, i suggest you to watch it. This is a very passonate film in my opinion. Where you have to trust yourself and to push yourself to the limit and to achieve you full potential no matter what you are doing in life :)

Cheers,
Johnny
