With all this hype about the Mel Gibson film, The Passion of The Christ or something like that, I was thinking that the actor who plays Jesus in the movie can't really get another role. It's like, "Hey man, I just got the part of Stiffler in American Pie 4." "Oh yeah, well I was Jesus." I mean once you're Jesus, you can't really get a bigger role, so I guess his acting days are over. Anyway, did anyone actually see the movie? I'm curious about it, but am afraid I may not get the full effect of it since I'm not really religious...

Today's my brother's birthday. Happy birthday, even though I don't think you read this. I got my first paper back from my theories class. He gave me an A and wrote many compliments on it. I was happy because I don't think I did A work, and even if I did, it was largely due to the fact that everyone shared their ideas with the class and was given feedback before we worked on the paper alone. So I handed in my second paper today, and am glad I have that A, because this will surely even out the grade to a solid B. I honestly had no idea what I was talking about, but only time will tell what el profesor feels. I'm relieved that school is over for the week, unfortunately, I have to be at work at 8 tomorrow. Zoinks! I'm contemplating my future at grad school because I feel like I'm struggling with the material, and feel as if I'm not really ready to commit myself to it at this time. I'm hoping things get a bit easier as I get further into different classes, but right now I'm completely overwhelmed and pressed because whether I go back or not, I don't want to do poorly.

As for Kim's previous post, I think it would be nice to spend a week at my brother's house alone. We care for their fish and maintain their pool, etc, but we get to lounge around, stay away from work, hit the beach, hit the pool, and possibly have a get-together (hint). Nothing outrageous, but a little fun nonetheless. So I look forward to that, and the possibility of finding a teaching job. Yes, I'm gonna try again after taking a reprieve, since I need a real job first, and then I can always go back to grad school. It should be another interesting few months ahead.
