Spring Break

It's going to be nice having a week off. I probably wont do to much, or at least not to much exciting stuff. I plan to spend most of my time hanging out with my dad. Other than that I might go back and play a little Grand Theft Auto 4. I hope everyone has a good spring break as well.

Watchmen

I have never heard of the Watchmen. It was about two weeks ago when I first heard their name. It was from a couple of friends talking about the new moving about them coming out. They showed me the trailer for it and I thought it looked pretty cool so I decided to go see the movie with them. I have to say it was really good. I wasn't sure what to expect from the movie. I was also a little worried because it being a comic book based movie and I had never heard of them I thought I would be lost the whole movie. It did a very good job giving background and explaining who all these characters were. If you have time over the break and you like sci-fi comic based movies defiantly go see this movie.

Ball State in Australia?

Today in History a representative of the school in Australia was promoting for us to take our Ball State courses in Australia. It seemed really cool. Everything that applies here would transfer to there. While I would like to someday visit Australia I don't think I would want to live there and take classes. The classes sounded like a lot of fun though and more hands on. To bad they don't offer my major or else I might have considered it more.

Transformers 2

Was really happy to find out they were making a sequal to the first movie. The first movie was a surprise to me. I have always loved transformers and was worried that the movie would be a cheap rip off to make some quick cash, but I was wrong. The first movie was great. I know this movie will be just as good if not better. Really looking forward to it. The trailer has got me really excited. Probably going to be 2 or 3 months before it is out though.

Font Conference

My roomate showed this video to me. It reminded me of how Professor McArdle always reminds us to use Times New Roman. I don't want to spoil anything but it's a good laugh about font types. It has some cheesy points but overall it's pretty funny.

Thesis

Problem Paper

It destroys someone's life and future, the person that committed the crime is no longer pursued, and creates a feeling that our courts do not work.

Solution Paper

For the most part the system does an amazing job balancing all the people going through the system, but in some cases it can call an innocent person guilty.

-defiantly need to work on my thesis statement for my solution paper because right now it doesn't exactly fit the rest of my paper.
