Final Preparations and Farewell

Well, we finally had our last class on Tuesday.  It's almost hard to believe.  It seems like just yesterday we started class even though it was months ago.  We discussed our final exam and Maggy reviewed many of the social theories that were discussed over the semester. We take our final exam tomorrow night and part of me will truly miss this course.  There aren't many classes that have the flare and the kind of discussions we have had.

All in all, I've learned a lot this semester, a good bit about myself, but a lot about society as a whole.  Tomorrow is my last final exam and I am poised to receive straight A's this semester if all goes well, and I am most pleased because this is a feat I haven't accomplished in many years.  I may continue to write in my blog, but I'm not sure yet.  After the trials of my past summer... well I kind of got away from writing, but that's a story and a blog for another time... Good night my friends, and good luck!

Coming to a Close and a visit from Harold and Kumar...

Well this week in class we discussed our final projects.  I already turned mine in because I wasn't sure when it was due.  I did my PowerPoint presentation on "The Producers".  It was a really enjoyable project and I had lots of fun creating it.  I only have one final to go for the semester and am working on one final project.  I'm happy about both of those things.

After we discussed our final projects and viewed final race presentations, we watched "Harold and Kumar Go to Whitecastle."  The movie is a stoner flick that has many blatantly overt messages on race, class, and gender.

The film starts out showing a very confident and aggressive Kumar who enjoys smoking marijuana in large quantities while systematically avoiding admission to medical school.  Harold works as an investment banker who doesn't display many masculine characteristics.  The movie is basically a coming of age story for Harold, who in the end, confronts his foes, gets the girl, and becomes the dominating man society says he should be!

We are preparing for the final and will watch one final film on Tuesday.  I'm really looking forward to break.  Now I'm going to finish watching "Batman and Robin" on NetFlix and then try to force myself to work on my English project.
