I am back from Naples and that means I am back to the books and working on homework. I have just a bit of Ethics to accomplish by 13.30 tomorrow. I just finished watching Shattered Glass which I rented when I got back. Great movie based on a true story. The film tells the true story of fraudulent Washington, D.C. journalist Stephen Glass, who rose to meteoric heights as a young writer in his 20s, becoming a staff writer at “The New Republic” for three years (1995-1998), where 27 of his 41 published stories were either partially or completely made up. Looking for a short cut to fame, Glass concocted sources, quotes and even entire stories, but his deception did not go unnoticed forever, and eventually, his world came crumbling down. Great movie so check it out if you get a chance.

Happy Easter everyone!
Yes, I am still here. I have been working non-stop this week on papers and studying before the Easter Holiday. I am now in Naples with my grandparents until Sunday so updates will not come until Sunday. Happy Easter!
Well, I just just got back in to Tampa after a great weekend at Walt Disney World. Since I last posted prior to going out to the movie on Friday, I will start there. We left the hotel and headed to Down Town Disney (DTD) to meet up with most of the cast from the Home on the Range Pre-Parade from Magic Kingdom. The movie was lame. As Norm puts it, the beginning and the end were great but the middle was awful. I think what made it funny was being with all the cast that sung and knew most of the lines from the parade.
Saturday, Andrew and I slept in a bit and then headed over to Animal Kingdom (DAK). At DAK, we did a few things that I had never done before including the Legend of the Lion King, Tarzan Rocks and It’s Tough to be a Bug. The Lion King show is amazing. Go check it out if you are ever at DAK. Also checked up on the new construction of Expedition Everest set to open in 2006. WDW will finally have a Matterhorn like Disneyland just a bigger mountain 
Norm met us over at DAK and then we went back to the hotel to relax a bit before heading to Epcot for dinner and Illuminations where we met up with a friend of Norm’s, Mike. From Epcot we just went and hung out in DTD for a bit before returning to the All-Star Music.
Today, we continued the trend of sleeping in and headed to Disney Studios for the day. While at Studios, we did Who Wants to be a Millionaire Play It and yours truly made it in to the hot seat. This was great not only because it is the the hot seat but it is also my last chance to do so since I will be a cast member the next time I go up. I made it to the 32,000 point level but blew the question so I just got the 1,000 point prizes. Still not a bad dig though. Other than that, we just walked around and actually ran in to Andrew’s neighbors from PA just out of the blue. Norm met us and spent the afternoon with us after he got out of work over at MK.
Well, It is now time to get back to the real world and finish unpacking and starting homework for tomorrow. Naples on Thursday so these last 48 days of school go by and 50 days till I am a WDW cast member.
I FINALY got free of Eckerd College for the weekend. Andrew and I took off after class at 3 and arrived up here at Disney World around 5 due to the traffic. Anywho, we met up with some friends at the Magic Kingdom where we saw Wishes which is amazing by the way. Now Andrew and I are relaxing in the hotel room until we head out to meet Norm at Downtown Disney to see Home on the Range. So that’s all for now. Check out the Moblog on the left to see some pictures as I go around the park.
Well, this week is finally almost over! I have work in the morning and one class before Andrew and I head up to Disney World for the weekend. Presentation on Tuesday night went well. It could have been better had certain people **Cough** Aaron **Cough** actually helped with it. Yesterday after work I spent an extra hour at the YMCA to work out and try and get rid of the stress. Today went better with just Ecotheology which actually had an interesting reading by the way and Ethics. Well, I’m off back to work on cleaning out my computer and website folder. You may also notice that the SEARCH is now fixed complete with my personal templates. Peace for now.
