The subject of my film analysis paper for this term has been approved: It will be about German director Tom Tykwer and his lovely and highly entertaining action flick art film, Lola rennt -- or Run Lola, Run in English. And I'll be writing in collaboration with one of the coolest and smartest people in my year because she approached me about it.

Looking forward to that! Especially since this particular project requires me to watch Tykwer films, which is always a plus; and because the ones relevant to the analysis all have Franka Potente in them. Now, ever since chicafrom3 taught me that there is such a thing as being a biaesthetic heterosexual, I have considered myself just that; meaning that, while romantically and sexually, I go for men, I aesthetically appreciate both sexes. And Franka is appreciable. The coolness of this woman. And what's with the name?!? Potent? I guess that kind of covers it.

Meanwhile, the university has decided -- erroneously -- that I have finished my degree. (?) A little baffling to me, since by my calculations, I still have a little over a year to go. Same thing happened to another of my group members, and she had the error corrected, so I believe there's hope still. But really, the bureaucracy in these places is so complex that it becomes rocket science just to stay registered as a student. Much more difficult than doing the actual degree. Ridiculous. And how can it be, if I'm not registered as a student, that I can be on the list for the classes I'm taking and have my film analysis subject approved... ?
