What's up

Well, it's been a while since I wrote a post about what is going on with me, so here's a quick update.

School
Last week was finals week, so this semester is finally over. I took my last final on Thursday and I think it went pretty well. I have basically the same schedule next semester, so it doesn't really feel like the end of a semester...just a break in the middle. I really enjoyed my Physics class, but I didn't like my Chemisty class at all. I also took Technical Writing online, and that class was pretty much cake. I have the second half of both Chemisty and Physics next semester (different Chem teacher though), and I haven't decided what other class I will be taking. I need to figure it out soon!

New roommate
My little sister, Katie moved in with me the end of October. It's been pretty fun having a roommate that I can hang out with and that I get along with. I don't think I mentioned that on my blog before, but everyone who reads this probably already knows that Katie lives with me.

Work
I'm still not working at any steady employment, but I think I will be getting a job soon. I need to start saving money before I run out of financial assistance money. I have been doing some digital scrapbooking stuff. I occasionally help out the owner of Digital Scrapbook Memories by teaching at her free classes, doing private tutoring, or sitting at her booth at a convention. It's been a lot of fun, and it pays well. It's definitely a nice way to make a little extra money whenever she needs some help.

Weekend
This weekend, Cassie came up to have a baking day. Really, she baked and I didn't. :) I'm not sure my little kitchen would have been able to handle two people baking. Cassie, Katie, and I went to see I Am Legend yesterday at the new megaplex in Ogden. That theater is wonderful!! You can reserve your seats and buy the tickets online, so there is zero waiting in line on opening weekend. Plus, it's stadium seating (so no trying to see over the person in front of you), the seats are very comfortable, and the theater is digital (not that I could really tell the difference between digital and regular, but it's the same price).

I Am Legend was an excellent movie!! It was one of those "on the edge of your seats" type of movies. Will Smith did an excellent job portraying the lone survivor of a plague that wipes out the human race. I found it interesting that he watched videos of the Today show in the morning while eating his breakfast, and it was hilarious when he quoted the entire scene in Shrek right after Donkey and Shrek meet. It was sad, scary, jumpy, creepy, and funny...a great overall movie. You can check out the opening scene of the movie here.


Well, I guess that's about all that's going on with me right now. I'll try to be a little more diligent about updating my post in the future.

Payback

Hehehe! This is payback for the video my dad made with me in it earlier this year. I used all the guys in the family for two reasons...it was fun to use only the guys, and in the family photo of us making funny faces, they had the best ones to use. So here it is. I hope you enjoy it!

Neat Photo

I clicked on a link today that took me to an awesome photo (link below).

Light Speed Escalator

The photographer also has a video describing how he achieved this look. You should all check it out. I'm going to try it someday...hopefully soon.
