I saw Ender's Game a few days ago. (Confession: I actually have not read the books. I know. I know. Embarrassing. I hadn't even heard of the series.). I really liked it. At first, all I could think about was Hugo Cabret since the lead character was in that movie, ha! But the plot was captivating and intriguing. I hear the books delve into ethical considerations a lot more, so I think I'll read the first one over winter break. Don't know how far along I'll get in the series though - it's apparently 12+ books. That's a lot of commitment at this point. Sad. But true.
My lab group and I also went to dinner at this Mexican restaurant I've been wanting to try. But if you ever want a twist on dinner, you should do what one of our class presidents organized for us: Progressive Dinners! You go to someone's house for the Appetizer course, then the group plus the Appetizer host head over the Main Course house, and then the group and Main Course host end up at the final house for Dessert. Your group gets bigger at each point since you're bringing along the previous course's host so it's super-fun and tasty. My classmates are so talented. :)
Unfortunately, though, I am now sick. What was the point of that mandatory flu shot, again? Ugh. Luckily, it was a light weekend so I didn't have much to study. Unfortunately, it was a light weekend and I didn't have a lot to study...so I could have been doing other things. :( I even had to cancel my clinic shift.
Five days till Catching Fire comes out! Ten days till I'm home for Thanksgiving! Cannot freaking wait.
