Haven't Written in a While, So...

This semester is going pretty well so far. I feel like I don't have as much work as I had last semester, and I hope that doesn't change.


I don't have a least favorite class yet. My favorite class is probably either Intro to Literary Studies or Elements of Film.

Elements of Film is probably the most demanding class I have, simply because of the time it takes up. We meet twice a week for two hours, and then on Thursdays we have the film screening after class, so it's like having class for 4 hours that day. The assignments aren't too hard, though. In fact, they're kind of fun--we do blog entries about the film we watched. They have to be more serious than a film review, though--these are more for film analysis purposes. If you're ever bored and feel like checking out my Elements of Film blog, here's the link:

I took my name from the title of an Elijah Wyman song.

Outside of classes, I feel like I'm going to be pretty active this semester. I joined radio with my friend Kat, and soon we will have a radio show on our college station, which will be internet-wide for the first time this year! So, I'm pretty excited. We plan to have our show from 12pm to 1pm on Thursdays (if that time changes, I'll let you know). We haven't started yet, but I reckon we might start Thursday October 7th. To listen live, go to:

It's going to be mostly rock music, with a focus on non-mainstream bands. Mostly catchy stuff. There will probably be the occasional hip hop or pop tune. No Nickelback. Since most of my music is Christian, there will be some Christian bands played. We call our segment "The Mixtape Hour" because it's just a mix of various bands and songs. We will be playing music from bands such as Weezer, Muse, Jimmy Eat World, The Dark Romantics, FM Static, and Children 18:3.

I'm also the productions manager (AKA head of layout staff) for Manhattan Magazine. The real meat of my work, though, won't be until next semester...and that will be pretty strenuous. In the meantime, I can go to submissions meetings and rate submissions. Our first deadline is October something...like the 22nd or something. If you're a Manhattan College student and would like to submit a photo, artwork, poem, or short story, shoot an email to manhattan.magazine@gmail.com .
There's no limit to how much you can submit.

Sadly, I cannot attend Christ in Your Life meetings this semester because of my Thursday film screenings. I can only stop by for like 10 to 15 minutes. So I haven't been going. =[

I haven't been too lonely this semester, as Kat often has the same breaks in her schedule that I have. So we play frisbee and listen to music and stuff. My friend Rich also has some breaks that are simultaneous to mine.

All in all, things are going well.

Almost too well, which makes me worried that something bad is coming.

Maybe a bad grade on a paper, or a fight with a friend, or....

I can't live in the what-ifs.

The most important thing I can do is not lose sight of God. I have to work on my relationship with Him. I am grateful that things are going so well, but when things go bad, and when people turn on me, or when trying times come, the only thing that doesn't change is who God is, and how much He loves me.

I miss Mike, and I keep saying I may not see him until Christmas. It does seem a long way off. Hopefully we'll see each other sooner.

I had the strangest dream last night, and it involved technological gadgets. It's too complicated to describe, though. lol

Ok. This was just an update, because there's nothing huge to write about right now.

I just wonder why our newspaper, The Quadrangle, didn't come out last week.
