Back to school...again
Well all I can say is "here we go again." School starts this Tuesday. Oh joy...NOT!!! Getting up at 6:00AM. is going to be hell. I would say to look on the bright side but there isn't really a bright side to look at. sure school has it's pros and cons, but there are more cons than pros. I mean who in there right mind wants to get up when it is still dark out! Oh well I guess all we students can do is try to get through the day and the disorganized mobs that stampede through the halls trying to get from place to place and class to class before there passing time runs out. Just as a side note near the end of this post there will be a few lines of text from a book I read. And I find what is said in the text from the book to be very accurate. Well like I said before, "Here we go again."

The Phantom Of The Opera
I went to see The Phantom Of The opera today at the Marcus Center with my aunt and a good friend. My God it was just amazing and the word amazing is in truth a understatement. The special effects are outstanding. I would recommend seeing this to anyone who loves music and the story of The Phantom Of The Opera. It is truly something to see.
(Based on the novel by Gaston Leroux, "The Phantom of the Opera" presents the story of the hideously deformed Phantom who lurks beneath the stage of the Paris Opera, exercising a reign of terror over its occupants. The Phantom falls in love with the young singer Christine, devoting himself to creating a new opera star by nurturing her extraordinary talents and employing all the skills at his disposal. "Judging by sheer invention, emotional punch and onstage talent, the venerable blockbuster still beats out almost all of the whippersnappers currently on Broadway." -- The New York Times)

The last night in NC.
Well my family and I are going home tomorrow from NC. I can't say I'm unhappy to be going home. My aunt has friends over for dinner right now. I hate this I really do. All they have been doing is talking. Moreover it's pointless to even try to understand what they are talking about. I can't wait to get home, when I do get home I'll try to remember to write another post. My family and I have to get up at 3:00am. tomarow to go to the airport but I will not be tired at all. Truth be told getting out the front door will be the only thing on my mind. This trip has been hell on Earth. In short the time that we head out the front door won't be a moment to soon. Have a happy 4th of July eveyone. :)

Can't sleep
well I can't sleep and well I'm mad because of it. I'm down in NC. With my family and lets just say nothing is going right. We fly home this Sunday thank God! Well not that I think it will do me any good but I might as well just close my eyes and hope that I will go to sleep and get a few hours rest. Everyone have a happy 4th of July. :)
