“The End Is Near”
By Terrence Cain
So how was your Thanksgiving? Did you overstuff yourself with Turkey and all the other little delicacies that come with a traditional Thanksgiving feast? I know I did. Did your favorite football team win? Did they even play at all on Thanksgiving Day? Me personally, I haven’t watched a football game since that infamous Super Bowl scandal involving Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson. Football just doesn’t thrill me the way that it did in the early nineties when I was a kid growing up. I personally prefer Europe’s Rugby now over any American sport. And yes I know that the Janet Jackson debacle was in 2004, but by that time I had not watched an America football game since 1997. I only watched that Super Bowl game because of who was performing that night. The game was just boring to me.
Anyway, this is my first of three final posts for this semester. It’s a little sad for me, but it’s okay because I’ll be back full swing in January. I don’t know about you but I have already signed up for next semester and I cannot wait to return on January 17th. This week though, at least for me and maybe you as well, has been super hectic. It’s been one mad dash after another to get everything ready for next week since that will be the last for all projects before the finals after that. I just hope everything goes well and that I pass everything this semester.
And I can’t believe I am almost done with my time at Howard College. Two more semesters and I will have an associates degree. I’ve really enjoyed my time so far at Howard. All the professors are nice and helpful, and yes I am including Prof. Tommy Tune in US History and Government here in Big Spring. People tend to think he’s a real hard nose, but deep down he’s a softy and willing to help you out if you approach him in the right way.
I am so looking forward to graduation day because I will be able to move on to a university and get my bachelors in print journalism, which will make me very happy by 2014. Getting back to work is the whole point of being in college at 28, so I hope this all pays off in the end. Picking a university is not easy though. I’ve been looking at three so far. One is in Seattle, one in Boston, and the other in Austin. They’re all great universities, but what I have to look for is what they’re offering because journalism carries many facets and I don’t want to be trained for the wrong area of journalism. Well off to work on my plant and landscaping projects in my Horticulture class. Until next week, this Howard College’s blogging machine, over and out!
