Another Week Another Blog

Actually it's been a little over a week, but who's counting.

So what's been going on you don't ask. Well, I enjoyed my last few days of freedom before heading back to school by going to the Comic Book store Thursday to cash in my gift certificates. Didn't use all of them but I did use about eleven bucks of it. I pretty much just tried out a bunch of stuff. For some reason, at the moment I just am not interested in anything going on in the Big 2 (i.e. Marvel and DC) One More Day totally killed my interest in Spider-Man and DC seems to be just as big of a mess. Of course after that rant I did pick up an issue of the new Iron Fist series. It was surprisingly good and I'll likely be picking up the trades in the near future. Another series I finally gave a chance was the Goon. I was definitely pleasantly surprised by it, though I shouldn't have since I've heard nothing but good about it. Also I picked up the next issue of All Star Superman. Man that is such a great series. Grant Morrison just gets Supes. I had wanted to pick up the ultimate Bone collection but unfortunately the store didn't have it.

Friday I took a day hike with Michael and Chelsey at Laurel Falls. It was kinda cold but was still a nice little hike. Plus it only took us about an hour too and from.

Saturday I went to the double header Bucs basketball game. Both the men and women lost to the same school so fun times were not had at all. Afterwards me Michael and Tyler went to Backyard Burger and then they came to the apartment for a little while.

Sunday, was uneventful outside of Sunday school.

Monday classes started. My AutoCad class seems like it'll be okay. I know several people in there so that always helps. On the other hand, my Intro to Psych seems like it will be an unnecessary pain in my ass. The only nice thing about the class is that it only meets twice a week instead of 3 times as it is listed. After Psych I ran errands until 5:30.

Tuesday I went to Basketball, Public Speaking, and 3-d Model Design. Basketball is going to be ridiculously easy. Public speaking isn't going to be too bad. I've got to give a presentation on a person in my class Tuesday which kind of sucks but it does help me get to know someone in my class rather than what I usually do which is sit quietly and hate my situation. 3-D Model Design is going to be fun I hope. We already are starting on a project next week though which is understandable since this is the intermediate modeling class. Since the independent project I'm working on with Will and Chris is 3-d we are going to use this class to get some progress on our project. I'm a little apprehensive about this however since I want to get a lot of good work out of this and I feel uncomfortable not doing something I came up with to use my strengths with. Like I said however, this is more apprehension more anything else. Things should be ok. Though if I'm not doing well in the class because of this project I'll drop working on it this semester in a heartbeat.

Anyway, Wednesday I went to the second day of these classes. More of the same. After class, I went grocery shopping and used my Wal-Mart Gift card to buy some DVD's. I got Fight Club, Desperado and Once Upon a Time in Mexico in a double pack, and a special edition Once Upon a Time in the West DVD. As I type this I'm watching Desperado and maybe I'll watch Fight Club tonight.

Well, that's about all I've got to say. I always feel like I don't have much to say but then I end up typing a ridiculous amount of stuff.

Until Next Time...
