February Break!

So we have one more week of class until our February break; I am really excited. Our break only lasts a week but that's alright since we get another one week break at the end of March. Most colleges just get one extended vacation after Christmas. It's nice we do not because it makes time this semester go by quick! Before we know it it will be May and our Summer break will have begun!

On Monday it was free movie night, so Thomas students were able to go to the movies at Flagship Cinemas in town. This is the first time I've went this year to free movie night; I really enjoyed it. I went and saw The Book of Eli it was a really great movie and I definitely recommend it. I still want to go to The Edge of Darkness which is out in theaters; It looks like a excellent movie, so my plan is to go see it during vacation.

Yesterday I attended the boys basketball game. It was a big match since we were playing our cross town rival Colby College. It was a good game as Thomas went up to begin with, leading by double digits going into half. However, Colby was able to slow the game down in the second half and come back. At the end the teams were swapping leads, and the game ended with a missed three pointer by Thomas in the last few seconds which would have put them ahead by one. We were all disappointed by the outcome but we'll get 'em next year.

Public Speaking

Public speaking is a class I am currently taking this semester; it is a very interesting class, especially with Professor Dog Wallace. We have currently been working really hard to practice monologues and skits. Yesterday we had our performance in the auditorium; I wasn't to nervous until I got on stage and saw that there was a decent amount of people; however, it went really well, and I was glad it was over with.

I did the skit with my roommate Zack, it is about how my character's wife leaves me because I am obsessed with the Beatles. Zack and I both had our lines down and we did a superb job on our acting and movements. Our skit was pretty funny, especially when I tell Walter-aka Zack-to get out of my house because he twisted the words when quoting a Beatles song. It was also really great to watch everyones performance and see that they all greatly improved. I am eager to see what we are going to do next.

It was Deep Freeze Week at Thomas, so there was many events. On Wednesday I attended the Mr. TC competition, it was a close battle but Colby Averill ended up winning. He did a great job during his talent portion by doing the "Evolution of Dance" it was really good, and he deserved to win. Tonight is Winter Carnival so all sorts of stuff is going on: FREE pizza! free t-shirts for first 200 students, airbrush tattoos, carnival games, live band, inflatable obstacle course and surf machine, and chance to win free Wii system and Carrie Underwood tickets and more! It's gonna be magnificent night!
