IT’S OVER!!!

IT’S FINALLY OVER!!!

The semester is over. It has been difficult adjusting to the school full time and a part time job. I didn’t like it at first, but it became easier with time. Since the semester is over, let’s recap some of the good, the bad, and the ugly of Fall 2005 at Webster.

The Good:


  • All of my professors were very cool in one way or another.
  • I am pretty sure that I will finish the semester with a 4.0 GPA.
  • I’m that many credit hours closer to completion.
  • Teresa showed me how to be more efficient with my writing.
  • John made 20th Century American History amazingly interesting.
  • Bill took my understanding of the Theory of Relativity to a new level.
  • Jim’s knowledge and understanding of composers of the past 1000 years was unmatched.

The Bad:


  • Astronomy didn’t have enough work to counter a bad test.
  • Going back and forth from Pearson to 4th floor Webster Hall was rough.
  • Dang web design project for the education department is eating a LOT of my time.

The Ugly:


  • PARKING IS HORRIBLE!

All and all, not a bad semester. Looking forward to the month off though. 🙂

Now that’s holiday spirit!

I was sent this video a while back via email, and I just forgot to post it. This has to be the coolest display of Christmas lights that I’ve seen in a long time. It is set to the music of TSO. I’ll admit though that the first thing to pop into my head was “wow, this guy has too much time and money.”

Please right-click and hit “save-as.” That will allow you to view it directly from your computer, and not rely on your bandwidth (or mine for that matter). 🙂

Rockin’ Christmas lights

Don’t forget to turn your sound up!

The Exorcism of Emily Rose

Well I went to go see it last night, and I couldn’t wait to get home to write about it. I didn’t think it was going to be anything spectacular, but I thought it would be creepy. Well, it actually turned out to be pretty good. I usually don’t like movies of this genre, but this one was more than just a scary movie. It actually followed the court case of Father Richard Moore instead of just focusing on Emily Rose’s demonic possession. The character development of the lawyers, Father Moore, and Emily was somewhat atypical in this type of movie. Couple that type of characterisation with some eerie moments and you’ve got yourself a better-than-average “horror” flick. Having gone into it expecting very little, I was pleasantly surprised. I give it a 7/10.
