I had to read this play for my literature class and I really enjoyed it. It is a Greek play by Sophocles called OEDIPUS THE KING. It's a fun read, believe it or not, and has a really twisted but interesting plot.
I didn't realize that it had been so long since I posted. Just so you know, I have homework that I should be doing right now. But I felt that I should probably post something to catch "everyone" up. So, work is busy, very busy. Still enjoying it though and learning a lot. School is great. Almost done - just two more weeks! I have spring break next week and then just two weeks of classes after that. Then I'll be off all summer long. I can't wait! That reminds me...I received my acceptance yesterday for University of North Carolina - Asheville. I am so excited! I'll be attending a real university this fall!
I should have lots of time to post over the next week. It may even be interesting...you never know.

Crazy...Crazy...Crazy...
I wish I had something to really talk about, something of substance at least. Life has been in fast-forward as of late. If it's not one thing it is another. From tests to reports to more tests to meetings to deadlines to more meetings, it's all just kind of making my head spin at the moment. I'm sure it will all slow down soon, but meanwhile time is just flyin' by!
I've started on my third and final speech for my public speaking class. I am going to attempt to persuade my young, uninterested audience to consider investing, despite their age or circumstance. I'm excited - just not sure that they're going to be too excited. I've also started on my term paper for my intro. to politics class - I think I have settled on the general topic of globalization, I'm just not sure what angle I am going to use. More to come on that, I am sure I'll post most of what I end up writing for that paper anyways.
Joe and I started watching this new show a couple of weeks ago, its called "Black. White." It has been very enlightening as it deals with society, race, and perceptions. The premise of the show is that two families, one black, one white, are put in a house together. While living together, the white family is put in black makeup (believe me it looks real) and white makeup for the black family. In their new skin they go out and get to experience life from the perspective of another ethnicity. This show is definitely worth anybody's time, no matter what your opinion or lack thereof.
Oh yeah - I have been dreaming a lot too. Weird stuff. The weirder part is that I am remembering them. In one dream I killed my brother and I am running around my hometown wondering what to do with his body (was definitely glad to wake up from that one - I really like the whole "once you wake up the dream doesn't continue" rule.) Others have been someone at work telling me that I only need to whiten my "uppers", as if we were talking about dentures. Another odd one was in this weird summer camp for young adults - the youngest daughter from the TV show 7th Heaven, Ruthie, was walking behind me in line and she called up her brother (who for some reason was my high school best friend) to ask him to fix her car. I turned around and said, "So how is Kevin? We go way back you know?" Then we just stood there and talked casually about how wonderful he was, yada yada yada. Believe me, that is all you want to hear from me about him. I could write a book, and probably should. Anyways, she went on to tell me that he was living up in Tennessee (<--? awfully close to NC, but pursuing a dream would just be creepy, right?), had a really good job - and then I woke up. If this keeps up, my blog could become very entertaining - at least I think so.
