Yes Man or Mall Cop? Hmmmmm

Life is good :D We played dodgball last night (Go Team Charizard!) It was a close game : ) We lost, but it was some intense dodgeball action. I am proud of my team, they all played super well, and they had great sportsmanship :D

I am super excited about this week; I have an Environmental Awareness Group Meeting tonight, which I am super looking forward to! Our President just returned from a study abroad in Germany, and she has all kinds of new ideas for programs this semester :D

I had a wonderful three day weekend, my girlfriend came over, we just relaxed and watched The Office on DVD. As always, three day weekends are pleasant, make the week seem so much nicer. Martin Luther King Jr = The Epic Win! Did anyone watch the Obama Inauguration? I heard it was exciting!

This week is also wonderful in that tomorrow is the weekly THES (Theatrical Horde of Entertaining Students) meeting, as well as Free Movie Night at Flagship Cinemas. We get to go watch a free movie as long as we show our Thomas ID's. It's pretty sweet, but I'm unsure as to what movie to watch: "The Yes Man" or "Paul Blart: Mall Cop". Hmmmm. A big group of my friends are going to see The Yes Man, Jim Carey is awesome.

THES is exciting this semester, it's our school's Drama Club, so we are hoping to put on a performance of a couple short one acts that we like. One that we selected involves a woman who eats so much candy, she begins to hallucinate the candy speaking to her. I want to try out for the role of "Mr. Goodbar" in that play :D Our other plays I must remain secret.....

Have a great day everyone, and thanks for reading!

Web Support = Cookies?!

Today is the first day of my Thomas Blog : )

I named this blog "A John of All Trades" because first off, my name is John. I feel I do a lot of different activities and live a varied life: I love my girlfriend, video games, hanging out with my friends, playing D&D, and working hard to do well in my studies. I participate in several activities on campus: I enjoy THES (Theatrical Horde of Entertaning Students, the school's drama club), The Environmental Awareness Group, and my friends and I are taking part in Intramural Dodgeball this semester (Go Team Charizard!).

Today is a special day for me, I was just invited to have free cookies! I work Web Support at Thomas College, and I was helping someone out with their webpage. They were very thankful, and offered me to swing by later this week for some cookies! Epic Win :D!

It's shaping up to be a nice day ahead: Classes from 2-4:30 (Personal Financial Planning, then Environmental Economics!). I'll probably go back to my room to play some Final Fantasy VIII, then go to dinner with my roommate and friends.

After dinner, I have to help my friend move some of his room around to unearth his Business Law book, which he has gracioulsy allowed me to borrow for this semester :D The bad news is it's in a box, behind two bureaus, upon which sits their huge flat screen TV...thing. It should be a fun exposition : )

Then I will probably do some homework, some class reading, and talk to my girlfriend online. Then it's off to bed for me, gotta get those 8 hours.

Thanks for reading, and welcome to my blog :D
