One Point Five Out Of Five

The worship team meeting this past Sunday went very well. Four of the seven people interested showed up, and I’ve since been able to talk to the other three. I’m excited about the talents that they all have and I can’t wait to hear us all together. Only a few short months away!

So I’ve taken 1.5 out of 5 final exams as of right now. What? Well my Organizational behavior exam is split up over two days. I take the other half tomorrow (open notes, cakewalk). This morning I took my Spanish oral exam. I conjugated a couple of verbs incorrectly and I completely forgot the verb tomar (the guy needed to take some aspirin, what can I say). Friday I have an exam in Christian Tradition which technically is optional. If I choose not to take it my grade overall will be a B. But I think I can pull up my grade by taking it so I’m going for it. Next week, the real exam week, I’ll have tests on Wednesday (3 PM - 5 PM, Spanish written) and Thursday (7:30 AM - 9:30 AM, Religion & Science). I usually get pretty nervous about this time of year. So much is riding on a single test of each class. But this semester a combination of confidence, cockiness, and good grades has taken all the pain out of the process.

As for last night’s 24, I’m finally starting to see why this season isn’t measuring up. All the drama, and I mean all the drama, is about the characters. Sure all of these disasters are happening (and there’s only six hours left to stop them), but what do viewers really want to know? They want to know if Tony and Michelle are going to get back together. They want to know if Audrey is going to leave Jack. They want to know if Paul is going to die as a result of
his wound (okay, maybe people don’t really care about this one, but it develops the Jack/Audrey storyline). They want to know if this new president is really going to suck as much as he has so far, and if the former president from seasons 1-3 (David Palmer) will fix him. It’s all about characters. The action of the day’s events is secondary and has been all season. The first three seasons did a much better job of balancing this two elements.

Speaking of TV, tonight I am giving in to the dark side of the tube. I have accepted an invitation to watch Gilmore Girls with the ladies of McCollum 519. I’m afraid.
