my first Movie Festival

Well, this past wednesday, I headed out to Auburn to visit Chris and go to this Student Film Festival that they were holding there. It was pretty cool to see (some of) the films, especially the one where the kid smacked a guy in the face with a snowball (end film) and the "horror" movie with the dead trapper who haunts random people. But, the best part of the night (aside from watching all the awesome Homestar Runner dvd stuff) was the free stuff that they gave us, including a shirt, frisbee, pen, pad, and candy! Woohoo! Aside from that, we had a really great time at BSU on Thursday, discussing the use of music in worship (go to www.christianitytoday.com and read the article on the 9.5 theses on worship), it was really good, especially since it didn't explode like I thought it might.
Also, I have been helping to conduct RA interviews with Dean Slay and Ms. Wilson (the RD of Henry) in order to make a wise decision about who to pick for my group next year. It will be pretty rough to make the final decision because I have friends going through the process, but I have to do it. Also, I found out this week that Jump, Little Children will be in ATL on April 30th, so I'm definitely headed out to that concert.
Clone Wars season 2/3 (depending on your opinion) started tonight, and boy does that freaking rock! If Episode 3 is anywhere as good as these cartoon shorts, we can have hope! Well, I've got to get back to playing Morrowind and thinking about the papers that I have to get started on for next week! Until then, I remain..... Nate
Godspeed

On the way home

Well, I am sitting at a computer desk in a hotel on my dad's laptop (woohoo for Wi-Fi access). For those of you who read and didn't know, my grandmother passed away on thursday and I have spent this weekend with my family going up to Ohio. It was a 16 hour drive all friday, followed by lots of activities throughout the weekend. The funeral itself was very beautiful and both of the pastors who officiated did a wonderful job, it was very emotional, but very good. It was a rough time, but it was good to be back with all of my family (whom I don't see very often at all).
I found out last week that I officially got the RD position for Boatwright hall next year (meaning that I will be the boss and Katie and I get free room and utilities for our first year of marriage). Also last week, the brand new Episode 3 Trailer previewed, and if you missed it, I truly advise that you head to www.starwars.com and check it out right now.
Ok, so right now we are watching Super Nanny, and do you realize how bad kids need to be spanked? I mean seriously, if your child is yelling at you, pop him/her in the bottom. Well, I've got to get to bed soon because we are heading out early tomorrow so I can get on back to school.
Godspeed.

Arrested Development

Well, I think I've raved enough about LOST, and if you haven't seen it, then I guess you will never be fulfilled and will remain an empty shell for the rest of your life, but if you need something that is as good as LOST and is funny, Arrested Development is for you. Not only does it come on after The Simpsons (which is still a great show after 16 years), but Arrested is consistently hilarious, with little quirks within each show to get me rolling. For instance, the youngest son, Buster has grown to hate his mother, Lucille, and come to love her friend Lucille 2, and just tonight against his mother's wishes, he ran into the ocean despite warnings of a "loose seal" (say it out loud to yourself) and had his hand bitten off. Anyways, if you can make the time (or have TiVo- mom and dad), watch this show!
As for life, everything is going well. Spent the past weekend relaxing and playing Legend of Zelda for GameCube, which I got back from Jeff finally. Oh, yesterday was awesome! Katie and I were on our way back from the library and who should be sitting on a front porch, but the one and only Andrew Johnson! He was visiting Jared (a new professor here at the school) and we wound up hanging out with them for the rest of the afternoon and even going over to Alvin's house and helping him with some yard work and he in turn gave us free Brewster's ice cream!! Woohoo! It was a super afternoon.
School is going well, I have my first test of the semester on Wed. in (wait for it) Intro to Christianity. It looks like it will be soooo hard (much sarcasm). I had a presentation in my History class on Fri, and I think it went well, but Dr. Shirley said he still had more questions to grill me with tomorrow, so hopefully I can hold up. Anywho, Chuck is on his way over to get his butt kicked in Kirby's Avalanche, so I'm out!
Godspeed.
