CU Denver and the best movie ever.

I had to wake up around five that morning because I lived 64 miles away from the city of Denver.  After a nice tasty pancake made by the madre for breakfast, we met up with Victor to go to the University of Colorado Denver for my freshman orientation.  We sorta got lost, I don't really know how that was possible considering that college could be seen driving through I-25.  But we ended up going there and arriving on time.  I didn't really know what to expect when I got there.  Right when I walked in, I was greeted with souvenirs and an informational packet with stuff I needed to get taken care of.  The first event of the day, we were greeted by a full rack of muffin and other tasty pastries.  That was pretty sweet.  Before we got something to eat for lunch, we went to the Campus Village to check out the housing.  I must say, this is what surprised me the most the whole visit.  The dorms there were basically apartments.  Everything you would ever need to keep yourself entertained was there pretty much.  Wifi internet, pool tables, a mini gym, basketball courts, a laundromat, big screen TV's, video games and movies for check out, X-Box 360 and Wii's for use.  It was just amazing.  It didn't surprise me though how expensive that place was.  I almost back myself out of the college until I found out a risky, but beneficial solution.  And for that, I am now officially registered and ready to go to University of Colorado Denver.

Once I got back to the Springs, I had a little over 30 minutes to get myself ready for The Dark Knight premiere.  I can't really describe how excited I was for this movie.  I went about an hour and a half early to Tinseltown to drop off my car.  I then left to go to Target to meet some of the peeps up.  The first one that was there with me was Dennis.  We got some snacks and then met up with the others: Mav and his siblings, Mitch and Monica, Joy, Jon, Christine, Amanda, Bri, and Anthony.  About an hour before the showing, we quickly went to the theaters to get in line.  Not to my surprise, there was a line building up at the auditorium we were going to watch the movie at.  It was about ten minutes before they actually let us in to get seated.  Luckily, we sat at some decent seats.  Bri and Amanda sat closer to the bottom.  Mav, Monica, Mitch, Joy, and Christine sat all the way in the back of the theater.  The rest of us, including Steven, who surprised me by meeting us at the theater, sat in between the two crowds.  Though we had to wait like 45 minutes before even just the previews to start, the wait was worth it.  I mean granted, I fell asleep through one or two of the movie trailers in the previews.  From the get go, even just the first five minutes of the movie did not disappoint.  I'm not going to spoil anything about the movie, but let me just say that all the hype about this movie lived up to it.  Heath Ledger's performance was simply amazing.  For those who haven't even seen the movie and assumed that Ledger's performance couldn't possibly top Jack Nicholson's performance in Tim Burton's Batman couldn't be any more wrong.  Throughout the film, the movie kept me up and wanting more and more.  I got to admit though, the movie was a bit long ... too long maybe.  But regardless, this is the film to see for this year so far, PERIOD.

Anyways after the film, the bunch of us stood outside waiting for everyone else that went to the bathroom.  Amanda, Anthony, and Bri ended up leaving right after that.  Once the rest of us met up, we found ourselves stuck in a problem.  We didn't know what to do after that.  We stood there, I guess, for a good 30 minutes maybe deciding if we were going to do anything else.  After a good time just standing in the parking lot, we all ended up eventually just calling it a night.  What a surprise haha.
