Just cause

I've always liked Star Wars. Until I was in high school, I took it a bit too seriously and I used to get really upset when people mocked it. Then I kind of figured it out. Mocking it is half the fun. It's very mock-able. The new ones are maybe not as fun as the old ones because they are not as mock-able in a fun way. The script was still dumb, as it should be. The acting was terrible, with a few exceptions, as always. The monsters and villains were still pretty awesome (except that droid with a cough. That was SO dumb. I was really glad when Obi Wan finally killed him). There was some good space battles and saber fights. But it seemed like some things, the whole romance for example, was taken WAY too seriously. Anikin was just not Han Solo. We skip the Anikin and Amidala scenes and watch Obi Wan. He just more entertaining.
But there were moments of brilliants. Of course, the music is probably the most brilliant thing about Star Wars. I once tried to figure out why, exactly, I liked Star Wars and I finally concluded that it was just because the music was so cool. All those bits of music have become icons.
And all of the themes in the video too.
I love this video. I like it that there are no Star Wars themes in it. So, I'm all proud of myself for being able to identify all the themes. The only one I had to look up was the ET theme, which is the only one I've seen.

There's no point to this post, in case any of you were wondering. I've never posted a video before. I'm avoiding homework.

Crazy.

So, this could be God, or it could just be me avoiding my homework.

I was doing an extensive scholarship search. In filling out my profile on one web site, I also filled out the profile for the college search and I came up with a list of thirty colleges that I was not going to look at. I glanced through to see if the colleges I actually applied for turned up. (Adam's State didn't make it) but I noticed that the scholarship stats for one school were way higher than the others so I casually clicked on it.

It's a Catholic school in Grand Rapids, Michigan, called Aquinas College. It didn't come up on my college board searches because it doesn't offer a major in creative writing, or composition. On closer examination, however, I found out that the course list, for writing at least, is far more extensive than the major requirements at some of the other schools I'm looking at.

So I continued. My AA will count for all the core requirements except the theology requirement. *nods approvingly* Shows signs of actually being a decent school as far as Cathlicity goes. (what a concept!) Free aplication online.

Okay. At this point I started filling out the app on a whim. Every few minutes I would think of somthing else I wanted to check and I would open a new window and check it out.

The voice teacher is into opera... and musical theater...and women composers... and (wonder of wonders) chant. No kidding.

Other exciting thing abound.
So I will be exploring this more int he next few weeks. It was just so crazy to find it when I wasn't even looking. I should go to bed now. Just wanted to tell someone about this because I'm all excited. I would LOVE to go to a Catholic school! Even a nominally Catholic one.
