Starting Friday we will be reading the epic poem Beowulf. I have seen the movie and liked it alot, however, I have never read a book that wasn't better than the movie version. I'll like this book I already know. Also, from what I've heard, the book is actually way different in certain main points of the plot than the movie... which I can't elaborate on without spoiling it.

I'm not good with writing just whatever is on my mind. It is much easier for me if I am given a topic. At least then I have a clear subject to think and elaborate on. I've never liked creative writing, which is why I took Tech 4 instead of english. Once i get going though, it seems to all flow out fairly quickly.

It is now the end of January... which means there's only three and a half months... fifteen weeks left of school for me. I am looking forward so much to graduating and moving on from this place. Going into the Marines and actually doing something that interests me and i find FUN for a living. May 18th we graduate... the 31st I ship. All I have to do is coast through the few easy classes I have and try to stay out of trouble.

Never created a site or blog before... I think blogging is lame. Never been one to write about my day or how I'm feeling, so I'm not gonna. Obama got sworn in the other day. Hurray! People are already complaining about him. Need to shut their mouths. Let the man work. Good things gonna come soon.
