The latest as of Friday, April 11, 2008.

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost three years since I posted anything on my blog. I guess it's because I didn't feel there was anything going on in my life worth posting, but most likely I don't like blogging when nobody is posting comments on them.

So much has happened during the last three years. I've worked on three feature film projects, I made my first overseas trip to London since the 9/11 terrorist attacks (both that and Iraq have made me afraid to travel overseas for a long time), I bought a new iMac last November and now have Avid, the editing system that Hollywood uses (in addition to Final Cut Pro) and I'm almost done with film school. Assuming I don't screw up with the last two courses I'm taking this semester (and no disagreements over my fulfilling the general course requirements), I should graduate next month.

Up until several months ago, I seriously considered traveling to Beijing to attend the Summer Olympics, but that was only if I was able to snag tickets for the Opening Ceremonies event. I was not able to obtain those and I also wasn't able to obtain tickets for gymnastics and swimming, so I am passing on the Olympics. I already have set my sights on visiting South Africa in the summer of 2010 to watch World Cup games. Two cities I definitely want to visit are Johannesburg and Cape Town.

After I'm done with school, I'm thinking about rewarding myself with a well-deserved vacation in late May. I'd like to visit two cities I've never visited before. They are Anchorage, Alaska and Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada.

My mother earned a free round trip ticket from JetBlue airlines for using her JetBlue credit card and she is giving it to me. I'm undecided as to whether I should visit Puerto Rico or Bermuda. I'd like to visit Mexico, but it only goes to Cancun and the only city I want to visit is Mexico City. Two summers ago, I drove with friends to Puerto Penasco (aka Rocky Point).

So that's my life in a nutshell. At least for the last three years.
