Pausing A Moment To Reflect

Haven't had any time to blog recently. The end of the school semester is always a very busy time, and the Biology class is really turning the screws on me. I've a term paper, an activity notebook, and two exams in the next two weeks. This class really feels like two classes. But as long as I cut unnecessary activities, I will be able to pass it. Come May 16 I'm going to be in the mood to do some serious partying.

One thing I can't cut out is this weekend's Maryland Film Festival, which will take place at The Charles theater. I should be there on and off through the weekend, but specially on Saturday. Don't ask me yet what I'll be watching. I've only had a few minutes to take a cursory glance at the schedule and I won't be making picks until sometime late Wednesday. If I have some time, I'll post my picks. Also, Creative Alliance will have a tent across from The Charles and I'll be there Saturday from 5:30pm thru 7pm meeting and greeting folks. Come by and say Hi if you have a minute.

Sometime this weekend, I also gotta go and catch 'Iron Man'. It's looking really good. I'm looking forward to it, and also 'Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull'. It's going to be a great summer for popcorn movies.

I'm really acheing for some free time. I'm itching to get back to work on my short film. I also have that music video to complete, and a couple of key reviews for Horror-101 to do. But the class is key. I didn't go back to college to be a slouch and 'just barely pass classes' as some students do. I'm trying to get a high B or an A here. Plus, I'm actually interested in the genetics stuff, and I've an idea for a future film that this class has helped me to develop.

Regardless of how busy I sound, I've been doing great lately. Most of the key steps I've needed to take to graduate from UMBC this Fall have fallen into place. I'm enrolled in the appropriate classes, and my financial aid has come thru. I also had a particular personal experience which put a huge smile on my face last week... but I can't share that here. That one will go in my 'memoirs'. I don't 'kiss and tell'.

Oright, I gotta get going. Time to make the donuts! And, oh, if you're looking for a good horror flick to watch, check out 'The Ruins', a really underrated flick which most people should have gone and seen instead of that 'Prom Night' junk. It has several great cringe-inducing moments, and at its very core, the movie deals with the fascinating concept of carnivorous plants. Great scary flick.
