Fun Time

Well, this week has been kind of ending on an even note. First off, this week began with the death of my grandfather, Izydor. If you're the praying sort I wouldn't mind a few for the repose of his soul. I wasn't that close to him, true, but it's still something about having no more grandparents that's not to fun. Also, I feel bad for my dad as he's kind of bummed out about it (to say the least). I do feel glad, though, that he lived to the ripe old age of 88. He was undergoing 5 straight days of chemotherapy soon after having surgery done for stomach cancer, and then he passed on from this world to the next. I think, though, that passing on at such an advanced age probably gave him better ability to make his peace with God, at least that is my hope. Just something you feel terrible about is someone dying without making their peace with God and their fellow man.
Although the funeral is this Friday, things have kind of improved since that first strike. Since then, I have finally completed the initial work for the Madonna U Halloween Film Fest. The final info is as follows:


Tuesday 10/24: The Ghost and Mr. Chicken

Thursday 10/26: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (b&w)

Friday 10/27: PSYCHO (Alfred Hitchcock)


ALL FILMS BEGIN AT 8:30 PM, IN THE SCIENCE LECTURE HALL AT THE LIVONIA CAMPUS OF MADONNA UNIVERSITY. THERE WILL BE A FIFTEEN MINUTE INTERMISSION, AND REFRESHMENTS WILL BE THERE.

There, just thought I'd give it another plug, although creating an event on Facebook proved exciting, too, as I originally invited about 15 people, and about 50 people have been invited so far. I think this event will be a great success in bringing some LIFE to the Madonna campus. Also, I plan this to be the innagural event of the Independent Student Activities of Madonna University Society, the purpose of which is to plan fun events, not related to any major, college, or any type of ideology, etc., just good clean fun.
After that was settled, I attempted to complete my seminar paper, but couldn't get a hold of Rousseau, who is a major part of my paper, so I figured why start something if you can't finish it. I also have a lit review to work on for my Pxsychological Research class, and I also have a RIDICULOUS anatomy and physiology Lab test on Monday. This ridiculous test requires us to name all of the little indents and ridges on bones, without a word bank, multi-choice, etc., and using real bones set out by the lab instructor. Kind of difficult, and I'll try to do well, but I'm not sure.
So, yeah, basically that's what's been boringly going on in my life lately. That, and I put in my app for the St. Catherine Undergraduate Award Medal. I think I've shown my apptitude for leadership, but I guess we'll see. After all, leaders always need followers I suppose, other wise nothing would get done.
