I started answering the quiz when I got home last night from work, that is of course after cooking for my family of 9...yes 9 + 2 guests. It was my niece's 18th birthday yesterday and I was prompted to make this Tortellini dish for dinner. After dinner, I worked on the quiz but I had a promise to keep with one of my nieces. At 11pm we were lined up for a special screening of Transformers. I just figured I'll look at it like I am taking a break from the quiz.
Transformers was highly entertaining. I have never been that much entertained with a movie so far this year (I've been waiting to see if HP and the Order of the Phoenix will get that distinction). Anyway, if you're not familiar with the animated version of Transformers you will think that the movie lacked a storyline but for most people like us who see movies like this, we want the fire power, the action and the special effects and this movie delivered in that respect. The funny lines and scenes were just an added bonus. I just loved it when the cars transformed to robots and vice versa. The transformations were fluid and all I could mumble after the first gasps of delight was, "Wicked!"
Anyway, when we got back after the movie, I finished all but two questions of the quiz and decided to call it a night. I figured I can finish the quiz at work before the time it is due. I managed to get one of the remaining two questions done before 9am California time but between calls from attorneys and their secretaries I began to run out of time. I was on my last question at 1pm when my computer started doing funny things. I had to restart and then logged back into Courseweb only to find Dr. T's announcement about extending the time till 10pm EST because of some glitches. Whoopeee! Even still, I tried submitting around 2:30 pm and it was accepted. I
I know there is a reason why I don't usually do assignments when I'm at work. I get distracted with work LOL! I also know that I had no business watching Transformers last night and I could have broken that promise. However, my 13 year old niece (in love with Shia La Beouf) would have been devastated if we did not see the special screening and I would turn into the evil Aunt. No regrets, I'm exhausted but I fulfilled my duties to the family re: food and entertainment, I watched a very entertaining movie, and I finished my quiz although I almost failed to meet the deadline... but you know what, at the end of the day, because family always comes first... it was all worth it!
