Summer's End

HOLA!

Well, my summer is coming to a close and soon I will be back at Oxford's campus.

This summer has certainly been a roller coaster of sorts. I spent a few weeks traveling through Mexico as part of a medical mission trip. The weather was surprisingly mild and I was dismayed to return to Louisiana only to be greeted by the miserable, suffocating humidity.

Aside from my little voyage through Mexico, my summer has been fairly non eventful. I've certainly watched a lot of movies and--thanks to the magic of TV series on DVDs--I am now addicted to a whole new range of shows. I watched the first two seasons of "Heroes," the first season of "Battlestar Galactica," the first season of "Breaking Bad," the first season of "Mad Men," and the whole three seasons of "Friday Night Lights" (a show I cannot even begin to sing the praises of).

As for movies, I recently saw "District 9" in theatres. Though it tried to be several styles at once and was a bit too conventional at times, it was an audacious, creative, and gutsy movie that never traded preachiness for entertainment (as I had long feared when I read about it beforehand). I'd highly recommend it (though not for the squeamish).

I hope everyone is having an excellent summer and I will see you at campus!
