The Sun and The Moon

Well, May the Fourth be with you. But don't be afraid of Cinco de Mayo, for there is always the Revenge of the Sixth. =) Yeah I'm a nerd. Deal with it.

So I just finished reading a book called "The Sun and The Moon: The Remarkable True Account of Hoaxers, Showmen, Dueling Journalists, and Lunar Man-Bats in Nineteenth-Century New York" by Matthew Goodman.  It was really interesting of how he related all of the different aspects that he was writing about, except I was hoping that instead of just summarizing what the newspaper articles were, that he would have just inserted the actual article. The newspaper article that I am talking about was written by Richard Adam Locke and was about inhabitants living on the moon and the hoax was that New York thought it was all true.  I was hoping to read what he had actually said, but maybe there was copy-right issues. I'll just have to go out of my way to find it. It is really interesting, if you are into that sort of thing. Mind you, I'm a little weird. I read a book all about the underground system in England. And I've never been there, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I even tabbed a lot of pages. Wow. I need to get out more apparently.

This was the hardest semester of my entire University degree.  But it's official  final grades are up! I didn't write for a while because my professor accused me of plagiarism and I may have cried for a week straight.  But now it is all better, and I have a lovely GPA of a 3.43 for the semester. 7 more courses to go and then I am done my undergraduate!!

Anyways, that is all today. Hopefully this summer I will get back to writing more. But we shall see. =) I am taking 3 courses though.

  1. Egypt
  2. Music Therapy
  3. American Popular Music
Hope you all have a good rest of the weekend!
