It was the best of times... it was the worst of times.- Life is funny like that!
I was talking to Wendy last night, and well, she threatened to stop following me, if I didn't post a new blog soon. Humm isn't she the one who told me to make sure I "did my finals?" Interesting.
Anyways, here I am, trying to think of something funny or interesting to say.. and coming up short. Sounds like a bad date huh?
So, it crunch time at good old Malone University. Its the brink of finals week, and we are all so consumed by trying to finish projects and papers , and yet it seems like there are so many events going on on campus. It makes it pretty hard to prioritize.
Friday morning, I took my final real test for the semester. I never tought I would say it, but I'm kind of sad to almost be done with Abnormal Psychology. It was a tough class, but a good one at that. After the test, Corinne and I headed down to the Johnoson Center. A group called Soulforce came to Malone as the last stop on their "Equality Ride." I could probably write a whole blog entry on their presentation... but I wont. Basically, sould force is a group that rides around America stopping at Christian Universitys talking about Christianity and Justice reguarding the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, and Queer community. They, had a good message; however, my views on the morality of homesexuality haven't changed. They did force me to think, which is good. So many people try to shove the issue under the rug, but it isn't that easy.
Friday night was the Open Frame Film Festival. I had a lot of fun last year, and my friend Corinne was the director of photography for one of the 11 short films presented, so Brooke and I took our pillows down to the Memorial chapel for a night of entertainment. All, in all it was a good time. I was fully impressed by the work of my fellow Malone students, and it was better than doing homework all night!
Last night (Saturday), was pretty good too. I went with a friend to see the Malone Alumni perform "Doubt". Doubt is a drama set in the 1960's that deals with many dark themes, including, sexual abuse, the role of women in religion and civil rights. There was so much symbolism and depth to the play, it was brilliantly written. In 2008 the movie version of Doubt came out in theatres. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
I guess that leads up to today... my only goal for today is to study... real fun right? Hopefully I can keep my head above water this week, and not get too overwhelmed. This entry is pretty boring right? I guess that's my life... hopefully I will think of something interesting to write about later... blogspot.com is a great excuse to procrastinate.
