New year shmew shmear

So far in the "new year" have began a semester of depressing informative classes with work loads way grander than last year. Taking Psychology then Global health issues right after that brings on a total bummer depressed morning. I start classes at 9:30 am and end with Statistics at 6:45 p.m. Talk about a long day full of information that tends to leave my brain gasping for air and simple cartoons, but when I get home I don't crash or watch cartoons I usually check my school email hoping that my school day has officially ended. Then I manage to scarf down the least bit of food before my body decides to shut down on itself. The average amount of sleep I get in the night is about 3 and if I get more than that I can't function properly during the day, but I tend to crash sometimes for 3 hours and wake up around 11 or 12 at night. It seems that most of my peers partake in such sleep schedules as well and function like I do during the day. Sometimes I have the functioning skills of a zombie, moping around, zoning in and out during lectures, yet I tend to recall things somewhat easily and manage to write down anything that sounds important in my chicken scratch of a handwriting. Which consists of a mixture of mostly cursive and some print in all sorts of font sizes which makes me think my psych. professor will try to analyze me by that very subject.
Has anyone ever had Caesar salad pizza? I know what you are thinking something so perfect as Caesar salad pizza exists? Yes it does. It's a pizza with a layer of olive oil and garlic on the bread, topped with provolone, mozzarella, and Feta cheeses and Caesar salad. Just describing it makes me want some. Splitting with the group about about 4.60 per person for a large when I went out with a group of friends Thursday night. It looked a lot like the photo below except there was a lot more of the salad on top of it, I didn't get a chance to take a photo due to the spontaneous trip for pizza.
Shows to watch

Merlin season 3
Though it has already been released in the UK later last year the show recently has been playing on the US channel Syfy. It's a very fictional take on the Arthurian legend of Prince Arthur, Lancelot, Guenevere, Morgana and other characters/people affiliated with the tale, but most importantly Merlin, a wizard with a destiny, and the city of Camelot. If you are interested in watching this fantasy/adventurous show with interesting costumes that don't seem to fully fit the time period I would recommend you to watch the first two seasons, because season 3 will not make sense with out it. It's very family friendly, with a lot of laughs and magic for everyone!
Camelot
This show will be airing on the Starz network, a premium cable channel, at the beginning of April. Unlike Merlin this looks to be a more historically correct version the Arthurian tale and this show seems to focus more on Prince Arthur than Merlin. The costumes seem to be very similar to the movie King Arthur that was released in 2004 and the budget of the mini series seems to match as well. Another difference between the show Merlin and Camelot is the budget and CGI use, though Camelot seems to lack CGI unlike Merlin the budget looks bigger. There are some major actors and actresses in this mini series include Jamie Campbell bower as Arthur, Eva Green as Morgan, Joseph Fiennes as Merlin, and Claire Forlani as Queen Igraine and many more. I'm not really sure if it is a mini series or not so if it isn't I'm sorry.


Skins US
Though it is very controversial here in the US and many fans here have already watched Skins UK before it; I recommend anyone to give this show a chance as a skins fan in general and ask to have respect for the show since there is limited content they can really show unlike Skins UK. It is suppose to be the UK version converted into American culture and well the first episode has been like the first episode of Season 1 generation 1 of Skins UK, but honestly it wasn't that bad. Unlike other American show on basic cable this show is "more" raw than others such as Gossip Girl and other teen tv shows. So many arguments have been sparked by parents because of this show accusing it to be child pornography and a bad role model for teens. Honestly parents must not know the children that well if they think they don't act like the teens in the show...there are always exceptions. I'm just saying it's not as bad as most are saying it is and this is coming from a big fan of skins who has been watching it since generation 2 was airing!

Skins UK Generation 3 season 5
Opens up this Thursday the 27th and it's a new generation with a whole new cast. The show like past seasons is about the life of teens and the raw situations they go through.

Being Human US
Another show that has been Americanized is being human. The show recently started airing on Syfy and will be on tonight at 9:00 pm. I'm sure it's just like the first season of Being Human UK. This show follows the life of two guys and a girl who live in an apartment there one thing that is different about them though, they are not human. One werewolf, a Vampire and a ghost.

Being Human season 3 UK
It's on it's season 3 and just started airing last night. I will have to wait until it is online to watch, but I am looking forward to watching it.

Who is that girl who is trying to pose, but looks funny? haha me. I tend to always look weird in my photos, but oh well. I was inspired by Eva Greene's Character Isabelle from the movie The Dreamers to wear the red Beret.
