Happy Thursday! This week is great because both of my classes end, (although I still have at least a couple assignments that aren't due until the 14th). The point is that I can start working more at the after school program as well as the morning one. Making more money will make me very happy, especially if I don't end up getting that summer job. At this point I still don't know where I stand, but I'm hoping to find out by tomorrow. Unfortunately I don't think I'll hold my breath on that one...I should probably start looking elsewhere. Regardless, less class time will hopefully give me more opportunity to work on the papers I have to accomplish before their due dates.
Internship news: so far nothing yet. I was supposed to meet with the same cooperating teacher I met with before vacation today, but she had a last-minute substitute. We might be meeting tomorrow, but at this point I wouldn't mind working with her next year. I can't really afford to be picky in my situation anyway, but I can't see a downside so far, besides the obvious age gap between what I envisioned for myself and what she teaches. I think I'll be able to make high school work, but we'll see what she thinks. I can't make the decision by myself. If that were the case, I would've had a teacher by now.
As for reviews, I am actually a little behind. With everything going on this week and my husband working late almost every night, we haven't watched any shows this week yet. So, all I have for you is Sunday programs. Sorry! Luckily, that's the most exciting day for television anyway. SPOILERS:
Amazing Race was a bit disappointing this week, being a non-elimination round. The Blondies escape elimination yet again, by sheer luck. I would have much rather seen them or Brenchel go home, but at this point I don't even care. The girls keep pulling this "helpless" act in front of everyone and I can't tell if they really are that useless or if it's a ruse. I would think that if you didn't know how to navigate, read road signs or directions or understand any foreign language, you wouldn't even bother signing up for the race, unless you wanted the TV publicity. We'll see how next week goes, but right now my vote is for either the Cowboys or Dave and Connor, who both definitely deserve the win.
Once Upon a Time was great this week, solely because Henry got his memory back. In fact, everyone did, which should make everything a lot easier. I feel bad for Hook because Zelena put him in a bad spot with Emma because of her mini cursed lips scenario. He was only trying to protect her by staying away from her and not making himself a distraction. Needless to say I was heartbroken when she told him she couldn't trust him anymore, which I think is ridiculous. Hopefully this all gets reconciled so they can FINALLY be together, (I'm desperate now, but it'll probably never happen at this rate). As for the brief appearance of Neil, that created a lot more controversy than the curses. I don't understand why, because what happened at the end of the episode happened in the past when everyone was back in the Enchanted Forest before the curse that sent them back to Storybrooke, so he's still very much dead, but is there a chance that he could be brought back with another sacrifice? Only time will tell, but I'm excited about this weekend's episode with Dorothy. Maybe she can give us some insight into the "light magic" phenomenon that seems to be able to beat Zelena.
Game of Thrones was awesome as well this week. I was glad to find out who actually killed Joffrey, but I had a feeling Baelish was behind it somehow. As for his creepy infatuation with Sansa, I bet she caves and ends up being with him out of pure loneliness. She seems like one of the perfect candidates to train to become his right-hand lady: emotionally drained/crippled, no family and a will for vengeance with little to no physical attributes to speak of. I think she would make a great manipulator, but we'll see. I cringed when Hodor gets stabbed and taunted by those douche bags at Krastor's Keep. Also, hitting Bran and keeping him hostage will probably be the worst idea Karl will ever have, seeing as Jon is on his way to them right now. I can't wait for that reunion! It seems like it's been forever since we've seen more than one Stark on screen together. I'm also looking forward to seeing how Daenerys handles the situation with all her newly-freed slaves. I believe that eventually it'll become too much for her to handle, especially with her dragons getting bigger every day. I know that the biggest upset over this week's episode was the very end, with the White Walkers. I'm glad we finally found out what happened to all those poor bastard babies, but what exactly are they doing to them? Are they growing their army? What's happening? Apparently it's not in the books, so everyone is at a loss. We'll see where this goes, but I'm sure it'll be explained eventually.
That's it for reviews. Some very big news from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie happened yesterday when a new, longer TMNT trailer was released. It is the second official trailer for the movie and includes a better, (although still really brief), look at all the turtles and their turtle faces. It's basically the first trailer with an extended middle section, by like ten seconds. It's nothing incredibly different, but it still got me even more excited for August. I'm going to be a wreck the closer we get to the release, but I'm betting there will be more trailers to come in the next few months. Getting excited!
Now that that's finished, I can get back to work. This weekend I may be going to see Spider Man 2, so I might talk about that next week. I love getting to sleep in and spend time with family over the weekends. It really makes you cherish and enjoy those moments you have to stay in bed and relax with the people you care about. Until next time, I remain your faithful correspondent.
