Pirates of the Caribbean: At Stranger Tides

After months of waiting, it has finally arrived....Pirates of the Caribbean: At Stranger Tides!

I saw it last weekend and here is my review on it:

I thought it was pretty good. Not my favorite one of the franchise. I must say that it has a new feeling about it. It was different than the others, in a good way. (I'm trying not to give anything away.)

Let's just say that I'm willing to see it again (and I am seeing it again this weekend).

The 2011 Summer Movie Season has officially begun....next movie: X-Men: First Class.

Spring Semester

In about 2 hours I will be done with Spring semester!

It has been one CRAZY semester! I'm getting closer and closer to graduation and you would think that as you get closer to graduation, the less busy you get.....nope. Anyways, back to this semester...

As with any semester, it has had its highs and lows. I wouldn't say this has been the best semester in my college career but it is also not my worse. Here are a few highlights of the semester:
  • Leaving (sort of) the Bookstore. I started to work only athletic events and not in store. This didn't last long as I am returning to the store in June.
  • Mardi Gras --> Never been a fan of mardi gras lol
  • Washington, DC Mission Trip: One of the most interesting and most rewarding mission trips I have been on.
  • Oozeball: It was pretty fun.
  • BCM Year-End Video: Colin, Braden, Craig, and me all worked on this video together and had a blast doing it! The video turned out great and was very well received.
  • Tornado Outbreak: In case you haven't heard, one of the most deadliest tornado outbreaks occurred in central and northern Alabama in April. It was very devastating but interesting at the same time, from a meteorological view.
  • Hanging Out: Just hanging out in general with friends (too many to name)
  • Summer Movie: The start of the summer movie season with Thor (saw it twice)
  • Disney World: Went to Disney World with the family. Had a great time!
  • SeCAPS 2011: Rachael and me did a great job if I say so myself.
Yep, overall pretty good semester. Didn't realize how much happened until I listed it. Can't wait for Summer and the memories that are going to be created!

Summer is (Almost) Here!

My summer will officially begin at 3:00 PM on Thursday afternoon!

I saw Thor this past weekend. Not the best super-hero movie but it was a good start for the summer movie season. This week is graduation for South and there quite a few graduation parties planned. I have one Wednesday [sort of birthday and graduation] and one Saturday night. Also I have a crawfish boil this Thursday.

Aw yes, the tastes, smells, and thrills of the summer are in full bloom!

Past Couple Weeks...

If you are observant then you will realize that I haven't blogged since end of April.....it is the beginning of May now.....tisk tisk.


Well the reason why I haven't blogged in a while is because I have been CRAZY busy with school work and life issues.


Let's begin with school work...


Today was my last day of classes for Spring 2011 semester! WOOHOO!!! All that stands between me and freedom is 3 finals, a paper, and a verification briefing. Piece of cake.....not really. This week alone I have had to do 2 presentations, which I made both A's on! Take that society! Also I have been working on the year-end video for the BCM. It has taken a lot of work and now I am in the DVD production step which takes FOREVER! It takes at least 1 1/2 hours to burn one DVD and I already have about 20 DVD pre-orders.....its going to be a long 24 hours!


So that's the end of school work, now onto life issues....


Well the biggest thing taking up my time in the past week or so has been my stupid, annoying, tiring, broken down car! It has been in the shop for the past 2 weeks [putting it back in tomorrow]. It has had over $900 of repairs and it is still not fixed! I don't think the mechanics know what is wrong with it. This causes several problems as I have to rely on people, I am stranded on campus, and I leave for CHS in one week!!! Yea big problem!


Come 3:00 PM next Thursday I will be free and on my Summer break! Can. Not. Wait.

Also I started to date an amazing girl....taylor hamm! She is so funny and so cool! We have been dating for about 3 weeks now. It's been pretty fun!


So yeah thats my life right now. I must say life is good (minus the car problems).

Also I finished case studies today.....my last installment of case studies EVER! Oh happy day! Oh and my car is da broke! I ain't no what is wrong wit it but somebody need ta fix it! That's all I got to say about that. (I have no idea why I just went all gansta....must be channeling some Madea!)

Anyways.....later!
