Tomorrow, hopefully, will be the day I first begin working on my two term papers for religious studies and film class (those are two separate classes, not a class about religious films or anything). I didn’t even realize until recently how soon both of them are due - the film one has to be finished in a little over two weeks, while the religious ( Read more... )

I got absolutely nothing tonight. Not a damn thing. So I’m thinking of trying my hand at some poetry. Might be an awful idea, but I guess it’s evitable that I would have hit this level of desperation eventually. Enjoy ( Read more... )

So Penn State absolutely slaughtered Northwestern University today; if I remember correctly, the final score was 49-0. I actually left the game after the third quarter since by then PSU was up 42 to nothing and so there wasn’t exactly a lot of tension left. My thanks to Petrone for getting me the ticket, even if the game took place during the ( Read more... )

Sweet juicy relief! The two weeks of hell have finally come to a close, and while I won’t know for sure how well I fared on my papers and exams until later, I’m confident that I did alright and that I’m not going to be on the verge of flunking out or anything. I already got back my religious studies paper (I got a “B”), so the only big question ( Read more... )

You know, as of late I keep forgetting all about these journal entries until the last minute with all the work I have to get done. Yes, the week of hell has indeed spawned a hideous sequel, but rest assured that if I make it to thisweekend I’m finally in the clear. Might have a few long-term assignments to start working on so that I’m not ( Read more... )

It’s been a little while since the last time I’ve updated this journal. The main reason - indeed, the only reason - is that I’m on fall break and I have no motivation whatsoever to get any work done. That said, I’d like to know what geniuses at Penn State decided that they should assign me the largest amount of work they possibly could to ( Read more... )

A funny thing happened to me today while I was withdrawing money from the ATM machine. I took my receipt, checked the amount on it and thought, “isn’t this figure missing fifty dollars?” My first thought: the bank is screwing me over. Eventually a new theory started to form in my mind: how the hell did Butler get my PIN number? The man’s almost ( Read more... )

I was surprised to find that yesterday’s journal entry yielded two feedbacks, both pretty interesting. One of my commentators, who chose to remain anonymous since “your parents probably already think I’m the worst influence ever,” told me that I’m not qualified enough to use a phrase like “drug-induced whoa.” The second guy basically criticized ( Read more... )

Well, I survived the trip to New York, so I figured that my exploits (or lack thereof) would make for interesting fodder for a journal entry. To sum up how I got to New York - for those of you whom I didn’t tell - Penn State’s film society, of which I am a member, holds an annual trip to a part of New York City that apparently has a lot of good ( Read more... )

It seems strange to think that my last journal entry was only two days ago - it feels like an eternity. The poem I wrote drew a fair amount of praise from the three people I know for a fact actually read this webpage. (Although considering the fact that two of those three critics were my parents, I’d say the odds were in my favor.) Is there ( Read more... )
