Happy (belated) Thanksgiving

Was home for the break, so didn't have a chance to update. Highlights/Events-

  • Barnes and Noble on Black Saturday, wandering through and getting books on a gift card I had forgotten about.

  • Having my aunt and grandmother, completely by surprise, come down for Thanksgiving.

  • CHC lost the Turkey Bowl, 14-7. Bah...stupid endzone fumble. Cheers, however, to the game being televised.

  • No traffic coming back to school on Sunday

  • "a.m. Sunday" was interesting...a little vague in the ending, but still pretty good acting wise and everything. I got the meat of the review done at home on Saturday night after 2am.

  • Seeing Brendan and Tiffany and hanging out on Saturday night. They got this really nice apartment off of Greenside Ave in Cockeysville. I'm still participating in his Lord of the Rings marathon in December - showing up at like 10am, watching Fellowship... and Two Towers extended versions on DVD, and then hitting the theater to see Return of the King that evening.

  • Cheers to getting my old job back...I think. I'm happy now, but whether or not I'm going to enjoy it remains to be seen. You can't go home again, and you can't recapture the joy you once had for a job that you've worked at for like 3 years.

  • I'm going to Ireland for spring break, and I'm incredibly excited. The trip completely fixes my second semester schedule by getting me out of the writing SEMINAR that I was going to take as an ELECTIVE. Yeah, I have weird preferences for classes, I know. But now I escape with 12 credits, and will graduate with minimal effort next semester

    • Right now I have a paper I should be writing for Drama class...it's only 4 paragraphs, but I hate having to conform to that. I'm not sure exactly where its going - I wound up doing a page of prewriting and staring at a blank Microsoft Word document on Wednesday night.

    I end with my semester countdown:




    • 13 days
    • 3 Nights of Duty
    • 1 tech interview
    • 1 set of hsm's
    • 1 supervisor evaluation
    • 1 final art project
    • 10 pages for film
    • 4 pages for Ethics
    • 4 paragraphs for Drama
    • 4 pages for 60's
  • 1 drama exam
  • 1 film exam

    • Kind of interesting really, being able to distill the entire semester into 12 items. Surreal...and a strong reminder of how close I am to being done...both semesterly and

Hey, I took a writing seminar as an elective in my final semester of senior year, and look where it got me. Shit. Wait, don't look where it got me.

Brian, you are annoying! Stop complaining; instead, marvel in the wonder of a "Communication" degree.
