Before I move on to other things, I want to issue a handful of reminders:
- Students should log in to the Student Portal and confirm their schedules as soon as possible. If you have any questions about how to do this, contact me.
- Students should be filling out the 2008-2009 FAFSA if they want to continue to receive Financial Aid. If you have any questions about how to complete the FAFSA, contact the Financial Aid Office.
- We are nearing the end of the quarter and we want to make sure that you are finishing strong in your classes. If you are falling behind, need a tutor, or need some encouragement for the stretch run, contact me, Gayle Johnson, or Rob Neuteboom.
And now for our featured presentation.... I have never been a big movie guy. While I certainly enjoy watching movies, they have just never been a big priority for me. I don't go out to many of them, I rarely rent, and I believe I own 7 or less movies total. Last weekend, however, I saw two movies that I had not seen before. I went and saw I Am Legend in the theatre and I rented Knocked Up to watch at home. I'm no movie critic, so I won't even attempt to make an intelligent assesment of the two movies. But I will say this: I enjoyed them both. Neither would qualify as family entertainment that's for sure. But for a single adult like myself, they raised the status of my weekend from fairly low key (which generally means boring), to mildly entertaining (which means I had some fun inspite of the general boredom).
I bring this up in part because this week is also the Fargo Film Festival. I have not been able to attend this event every year, but when I have gone, I enjoyed it. Were it not for an extended visit from my son this week, I would have tried to attended at least a portion of it. Like I said, I'm no movie critic, nor did I study film at all in college, so I can't give you a very educated explaination of why I would want to go. I do consider myself to be an appreciator of art in a variety of forms and this would be just another opportunity to sample some fine arts here in Fargo. If you happen to be in the Fargo/Moorhead area at all this weekend, I would highly recommend checking it out.
