There really is not all that much new on my mind. I went through a day-long orientation for my new job as an usher at the Frank Erwin Center this past Saturday. It was so tiring. I am beginning to wonder how I will stay as busy as I am and still do well in school. I signed up for four events already. This coming Saturday I get to watch the Rice game and get paid $10.50 an hour for doing so. It is a pretty good job then I guess, it will just take up a lot of time when I do it. On the plus side though, it is an entirely flexible schedule, so I only work or sign up for events when I want to.
A funny thing happened last Thursday after I had your class. My AFROTC group met up outside for drill instruction. My flight commander, essentially a bossy, fifth-year senior drill instructor, had to yell at one of the girls in the group. She was chewing gum. He exclaimed, "SWEET JESUS!!! Are you chewing gum in MY uniform?" I had to practically bite my tongue to keep from laughing or getting any kind of smirk on my face. At that point, he reminded me so much of the man in Full Metal Jacket that it was nearly impossible to keep from cracking up.
That is about all I have got. I find the reading on films to be very informative, and its examples will prove useful as we write our own critiques on movie rhetoric. I have my first physics exam this coming Thursday, so for the next several days, that will be the dominant thought on my mind.
