My last week of midterms

Even though midterms aren't my favorite part of the semester it at least marks that I am half way through my last semester here at Marist. I have already completed 2 of my midterms this week, both went well. The only midterm I have left is a presentation for US military history. My portion of our project is complete, but the rest of my group seems to be slacking.

Gaming for Hope planning has been going very well. Prizes this year will include a PS3, iPod touch and a 19" LCD monitor. If you live in or around the Poughkeepsie area it will be held on April 19th from 1pm - 1am. We will have numerous console and PC tournaments. Table top games will also be a much bigger attraction this year! Yay for Munchkin and Carcassonne.

Matt and I just finished watching every episode of Battlestar Galactica. I was a little disappointed in the last few episodes of season 3, since the trial of
Gaius Baltar wasn't very thrilling. However, the ending was amazing! We also watched Razor, which wasn't as bad as others have made it out to be, but it did answer a few questions. To fill the void in my life created by a lack of science fiction, I decided to start watching Stargate Atlantis. I find it entertaining, but it doesn't quite compare to Battlestar Galactica and Dr. Who. Luckily, in April I will have plenty of sci-fi to keep me satisfied.

Yesterday, Matt and I decided to have a movie night. Now as many of you may know I am extremely indecisive and Matt made me pick the movie. I found an amazing movie that is definitely worth seeing if you haven't yet done so. "The Man From Earth" is a science fiction movie that relies more on plot and the imagination of the viewer than CG to captivate their audience.

I just found your post and found it quite interesting. I saw the movie "The Man From Earth" and it gave me goosebumps. The reason was it had many similarities to the real story I have been researching for many years.

If you are serious about this subject of immortality, then you will be quite interested in my research and findings on this very topic.

I have summarized what I have found on my main blog:

Glad you enjoyed the movie.
