Summer Classes

Well, it's been a while since I've posted. So much has been going on, but as it's happening it doesn't really strike me to write anything.

The spring semester is done, and I got B's in both of my classes. My sister, Amy, graduated from college and a really good friend of mine at CMU graduated also. The first six week session of summer classes have come and gone. One class I signed up for, I showed up on the first day and the prof gave me an option to read some books instead of coming to the class. Basically, because I had taken a similar class of his last summer he gave me an independent study. It was insane though because I had four books that were HUGE. Thankfully the papers I had to write were teeny. Four pages, double-spaced (so really two pages). Part of me wonders if he even read the papers because the day after I handed them in I got my grade: A! W00T!

I also took a film class where we watched some noir classics, I'm still waiting on my grade in that one. (I'm only a little worried about it, I hope I get a B.) This class was hard because I really didn't like many of the films we watched. I always feel like people read way too much into symbols and things in films. I just want a movie to be entertaining and maybe thought provoking, but not so obscure that I need to read a bunch of papers on what other people thought it meant - and especially so when the director (read David Lynch) doesn't even have a clue as to what the film is about - he just wanted to put a bunch of random stuff together and call it a movie.... okay /rant.

Wow this post is G rated I think!
