Today I finally finished all my Christmas shopping. Man does that feel nice to be done. MCES holiday party tonight so I’m just relaxing until then. Catch ya around.

So I met up with some friends last night after a day at Hopkins High and shopping with mom to see the Lord of the Rings, Return of the King. It was a decent movie but by the 3 hour mark, I was ready to head out. Lots of fighting scenes which make it long. Go see it if your a fan of the other films. Tonight is the family Christmas Party that Grandpa hosts every year so I just got my haircut and will be getting ready shortly. Not much else to report other than the cold temperatures in MN compared to FL.

I’m all done with first semester of my Senior year! YAY! Just had to say something

I finished up my Quest for Meaning final paper today and got that handed in. All I have left this week is a debate on Wednesday evening. Tomorrow I am heading to Disney World for a nice breather and then on Wednesday, I will be packing so I can head home on Thursday. Wow, I’m going home in a few days. Talk about scary.

Well, today I joined my friend Andrew and some of his dormmates up at Disney again for another fun filled day in the parks. I started the morning off at Magic Kingdom where I met up with Andrew and his friends and we rode the rides and they even made it for the taping of the Christmas Day Parade and saw Regis and Kelly at the park. I missed that part but it was cool anyways. Later on in the day on our way out of the park, we were even part of the parade for a little dance number which was kinda lame but fun none the less. Pretty cool if you ask me. Next on the list, EPCOT. At EPOCT, we did a round of Mission: SPACE and then saw the tree lighting ceremony at the World Show Case before securing a spot for the Candlelight Processional. Candlelight was amazing and has me singing Christmas songs now. Andrew’s friend Norm joined us after he got off work at DAK (Disney’s Animal Kingdom). after Candlelight, Illuminations to round up the night. What a great day. I think I am for sure applying to work at Disney next year. Can’t wait to head back in a week for another round. Bed time now though.

Well, I’m back on campus today and it is a ghost town. No one is back yet. I’ve been working on my paper for film class all day on the political satire and dark comedy of M*A*S*H the movie. I’m off the airport in about 45 minutes to meet a friend and pick him up. Internship in the morning and only 17 days left for the semester until I go home. Wow that’s a shocker.

Hey folks. I am in Naples, Florida on vacation with my family. They came down to visit me at school thsi weekend and then drove to Naples to visit my grandparents. I arrived yesterday afternoon and am just relaxing by the beach and pool for a few days before I return back to Eckerd on Saturday. Until then, you most likely will not see any new updates. I am also in the process of booking my flights to London in January for my internship with North American Sports Network. I’ll p[ost more news aboutthat at a later date. Have good holiday!

Well folks, I just got back in from the Mouse House (aka Disney World). My parents are in town for the weekend to visit me at school before driving down to Naples to see the Grandparents. Yesterday I showed them around Eckerd and today was a morning at the beach and then a last minute decision to go to Walt Disney World. It was a blast! two weekends in a row for me but it was still fun. got to do the rides, see a parade, and the new fireworks show. Yea I like Illuminations the most at EPCOT but this new fireworks show is worth a look. Well, I’m off to bed so I’ll post again later this week.

Off to work today. Not much new going on lately. Looking forward to the break next week.
