Well, I'm off today! I'm going to New Jersey this afternoon for a few weeks and I'm hoping to have a great time! Yes, I'm packed (mostly...90% I think), and yes, I am aware that yesterday it was 66 degrees *grumble*. It should be awesome!

Oh, by the way, remember the summer courses I was so freaked about? Well, I just got my grades...I HAVE A'S IN BOTH OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD *happy dance* Oh my god, you have NO idea how excited I was last night when I found out, I was whistling and dancing for a good long while. THIS TOTALLY ROCKS!!! XDDDDDDD I am happy ^^.

In honor of my departure, and of my good grades, here's a little meme that I stole from shinigamisparda. Seeing as this is about animated movies, I'll probably have seen them all, or at least 95%.

***EDIT*** There was a bunch of stuff that I overlooked and left unchanged by accident. These are now fixed and fit my actual movie experience.
Thank you to shinigamisparda (whose name I actually spelled right the first time, lol) for teaching me how to bold and strike! Be prepared for a lot of bolded movies, and a few striked ones as well.

- X what you saw
- O what you haven't finished or saw sizable portions
- Bold what you loved
- Strike what you disliked/hated
- Leave unchanged if neutral

*Julie Andrews was the original Eliza Doolittle in the Broadway production of "My Fair Lady," but they didn't want her for the movie version because she was little-known in Hollywood. At the 1965 Oscars, "My Fair Lady" won 8 Oscars, including Best Picture, but Julie Andrews won Best Actress for "Mary Poppins." How's that for irony?

Well, bye all! Have a great summer!
