Outlet Mall

The outlet mall here is really nice. Most of the places are rather expensive but you can find nice deals on things there. I went to Aero and bought a nice jacket for only 30 dollars when at Hollister it would of cost around 100. I also bought a long sleeve shirt for 10 dollars which is sooooo cheap. Many of the shoe places there besides Nike are expensive since they sell the best made fancy shoes. I like the Nike store there since their selection is huge and it offers more than just shoes.

I can see why this girl I know has come down to San Marcos on a 4 hour drive just to go to the outlet mall. If you go to this college it would be crazy not to go there at least once. It is massive and sopposively the biggest outlet mall in the nation from what I hear or at least in Texas. There are also some nice restaurants surrounding the outlet that are a nice addition since you can go eat there after you shop or before. I also got a nice deal on shoes at Nike for only 30 dollars. The outlet is not too far away so it has a nice location from our campus. You just need a car to get there.

Taking the English Final Early

I am happy I am taking the English final early since I get to leave 4 days early for Christmas Break. Its not a lot of time but it still feels like a lot. Hopefully the prompt we get is easy since I want to get done with it and be out of there. I need to bring my laptop to the class that day so that I can type it. Dang its late right now and I have one more blog to go by tomorrow.

I like prompts that you dont know the topic of until you get it. Usually they are graded less harsh and involve more thought than research. The SAT had a lot of that on their essay part of the test in High School. They graded the essay part quite hard though. By doing good on this final hopefully I will get an A in the class.

San Marcos Dorms

So I really want to get into the San Marcos dorms next year. I am currently in Falls and when my best friend transfers here I am going to request a room there with him. For all you who dont know what a San Marcos room looks like it is pretty much a small apartment. There are two separate bedrooms with twin size beds. A sitting room with couches and a lot of room for a TV and other things. There is a kitchen with a sink and microwave and a somewhat spacious refrigerator.

I spent the night there a week or so ago and I have to say I was impressed. It all has its own bathroom so if I get the dorm next year, no more community bathrooms for me. Obviously the room costs a lot more than my current one but it is so much better and I would really enjoy the room for the money it costs. The location of it sucks since you are far away from most classes. The nice part about its location is the fact that it is so near the Rec. Center.

Ink

So yeah my essay is due tomorrow and my printer is out of ink. I need to find my flash drive so I can take it to someone else's laptop and print it on their printer. It ran out on the last page of a paper so it truly sucked. Hah I just found it and since i need about 3 more blogs after this I am going to talk about this boring little flash drive. I bought it at Walmart this year for who knows how much. It is about 2 and a half inches long and just like other flash drives is able to plug into a usb port drive and withdraw information for storage.

Its quite nifty since it is very portable. It is black with a flip on it to let the drive insertion part come out. When it is plugged in it shines orange on the front to let you know it is working. It is a "cruzer" brand flash drive which I have never heard of. It is also 4 GB so it will easily last me this whole year without deleting anything on it. Im pretty sure it was cheap so I am happy I made that purchase since I am certainly in need of it right now.

Grandma's Boy

I watched the movie Grandma's Boy this weekend. It was a funny movie that had a lot of actors in the Happy Madison films. The robot guy was weird and awkward. All the people did in the movie was play games, develop games, and smoke weed. There were some gross parts such as with the friend and the grandma. They turned it funny though when she told the guy that he was her about 3000th.

The guy answers with, "damn I should of worn a condom". I laughed because I had said right before, " damn he has to of gotten an STD". The guy had a really easy life since he lived in his grandma's house and all she did was cook food for him as he smoked weed and went to work at a fun job. The monkey part of the movie along with the Native Doctor was also very funny.

Cellphone

I traded in my Verizon LG T-Phone for a new model of LG a few weeks ago. I heard good things about the Voyager so I decided to try it out. Not only does it have a touch screen with scrolling capabilities but it can flip into a keyboard for easy texting and things such as the Envy. I got a silver one with a black cover so that it doesnt end up in such bad condition as my older phone.

Ever since I got to college I seemed to drop it on the ground when im not paying attention in my dorm room. Its a lot more convenient since my old phone could only hold 50 texts in the inbox at a time while this one holds around 150. Since all good things do have a downside it seems I would have to say the touch screen lock gets annoying sometimes or when its not on I accidently hit a button in my pocket to make the phone do something annoying.

Tuesdays With Morrie

I read a book named Tuesdays with Morrie for extra credit. It was a good book. I havent read any books in quite a long time so it was hard to just jump right into the book. It was basically about a teachers bond with his now older student. The teacher is diagnosed with a life altering disease that gradually weakens him over time limiting his physical abilities as it develops. The teacher is a lot older than the student and gives him advice at their meetings on life.

They meet every Tuesday and the student shows so much love and compassion for his teacher by how he acts and cares for him. The teacher shows the same things back towards the student. Many of the things the teacher said such as when two people who love each other die. The love doesnt die. It is still there spiritually existing just not visable to the human eye. I thought about that and truly agreed with what he said. The book ended with Morries death and a more positive outlook and future for the narrators life.

Haircut

So I definently got my head shaved this past week. Since I cant really see the back I had my two friends do it since they were doing the same thing. They thought it would be funny to leave a whole portion on the back unshaved. Luckily for me I had the brains to feel the back of my head so I yelled at them to finish it. After I had a even cut and all that I had to get all the hair off of me. It took around thirty minutes since the cutter was pretty dull. Now that I have no hair I dont need to wear a hat anymore.

I usually cut my hair this short though when it gets long. The only bad thing about it is that it is Winter and I dont have any hair to keep my head warm. I dont have to brush my hair anymore luckily. Another thing my friends did was pretend they cut part of my hair bald by accident which pissed me off a lot. Thats about it for my haircut.

The Dark Knight

Comes out on dvd in three days. One of the best movies Ive ever seen and im excited for it to come out. Being a sequel its suprising that it is even better than the first one. Unlike most movies the villian was intriguing and smart. The Joker was the main villian of this movie and he wasnt an antagonist because of shere strength but of his ability to be a step ahead all of the time.

When you think the movie is about to end. The Joker has another plan in store and he amazes people by escaping from jail amongst dozens of guards. He is an the perfect counterpart to Batman since they both use intellect in their struggles and during the movie the two intellects clash constantly. Heath Ledger played the Joker role and left a memorable closing to his career with this movie since he died soon after.

Last week of classes

Starting this Monday it will be the last week of my Fall classes. I have three exams between Wednesday and Thursday. After that I am going to drive straight home and just see what my friends here are up to. The drive is about 4 hours long so sometimes I get a headache from driving (I hope that doesnt happen). There is still some food left over from Thanksgiving so that will be great.

The nice thing about this break is that it lasts for about a month and I dont have to worry about any homework during that time. Tuesday we dont even have classes for a study day which is perfect. I need to work on my essay in English tomorrow so I can pull off an A in the class. Thats pretty much it on the week besides the fact that I need to get all my stuff together that I am going to take back home with me.

Call of Duty

So yeah my friend bought an xbox 360 game to play on my console named Call of Duty 4. The graphics and all that are good. Not only that but its very realistic. The only boring part about it is the fact that online is nothing but people hiding. Halo definently beats this game no argue. The campaign like halos is probably the smaller feature of the game since online play is the rave nowadays.

My friend said I could keep the game even though it cost him sixty dollars. All in all it is a good game it just doesnt go by the same element halo does that I like. As im typing this I am playing Call of Duty though. Its pretty late so I think I will go to bed now since I am going back home tomorrow and I have a class at 11.

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving I went back to Beaumont on a Tuesday. I had a headache when i got home so I went straight to sleep. I woke up the next day and went to play basketball for awhile until I went to the movies to see Transporter 3. My best friend had just flown in from Ohio for the Break so I went with him and his family along with mine.

Most of the nights that week were filled with beer pong so I enjoyed them a lot. One of the games we played the other team didnt even shoot once which was quite funny. The next day I ate Thanksgiving dinner not only at my friends house in the morning but at my house in the afternoon. The food was great and I loved the dressing and turkey more than anything.
