Things are going alright here as school winds down and graduation nears. I finished my Middle East Politics exam on Friday, and I thought it went well. I knew pretty much every thing the teacher asked, so I should be looking at a decent grade for it. Problem is, Dr. Piazza uses a seven point scale, so pulling out that "A" will be tricky. I only got a B on a book report in that class for some reason, so I'm looking at an uphill battle to get all A's this semester.
I had dinner with a bunch of Japanese students Friday at Chen's Bistro. It was fun, but a little sad too as a lot of them will be leaving to go home shortly. I know how that feels. Still, it was good to see everyone one more then even if I ate too much at the buffet. After that, some people got together for a party me and Sammy had at our apartment. It was for sort of an unofficial premier of our friend Carlos' movie, "Death of a Paddleboat Lover". Don't ask. Those guys have a seriously cracked sense of humor is all I gotta say.
Sunday, I stopped by Tom and Lib Philips baseball field one last time to watch the Niners play and say goodbye to some people. It's a bit sad to go, I had a good time overall covering baseball for the school paper and I would definitely consider doing it again. Unfortunately, I don't think the Niners are going to have enough gas in the tank to make it to the CUSA tournament this year. But they've got a good group of players who should be able to step it up next season and really make an impact in the Atlantic 10.
It was also Mother's Day, so I got to meet up with the parents and go out to dinner. We went to Logan's Steakhouse on Harris, it was the first time I'd been there and I'd have to say overall that I liked it. It was nice to chat with the parents and of course getting a steak is a rare treat for me. After that we went to Target, and I told my mom I'd buy her a DVD. So which one does she choose? Con Air, starring Nicholas Cage. An interesting choice from a mom to say the least, but whatever she wants. Then we went back to the apartment and talked a little bit more, then they went home. I spent the evening cleaning up and making a powerpoint presentation about Hidetoshi Nakata. Fun Times. Well, I'll talk to you all again later.
