Undergraduate Admissions

I haven’t posted in a while. I guess I got out of the habit when school ended. Oh, I got my grades and did well in all of my classes (hooray), and Christmas was alright.

It isn’t too snowy out now, although I took some pictures when there was a storm a few weeks ago.

I watched Escape From New York last night. I think that movie is overrated. It was like I was waiting for the movie to get exciting the whole time, and then it never did. I have seen some cool movies lately though; I saw Charlie Wilson’s War with my family because it was written by Aaron Sorkin, and my mom and my brother are big West Wing fans (which he also wrote) and my brother and I enjoyed Sports Night (which, you guessed it, he also wrote). I’m not crazy about Tom Hanks and even less crazy about Julia Roberts, but I thought it was a really good movie. It was more realistic and less idealistic than West Wing always was; for that reason alone, I liked it a lot and my mom found it a bit disappointing. The same night, I came home and my friends were watching Gangs of New York, so I got in on that too. It’s not a movie I’d buy on DVD, but I thought it was pretty cool. It’s one of those movies, like Training Day, where there’s a character that exudes coolness but is also a horrible person.

 

My girlfriend and I have been playing Soul Calibur II for the GameCube lately… and she’s better than I am at it (wtf?). I mean, seriously, I don’t know what to think about the fact that my girlfriend is beating me consistently in a fighting game. I’m supposed to be good at fighting games!

 

Anyway, happy new year!
