So, the new season of The Sopranos started tonight and I am pumped. It aired tonight at 9..and it was amazing. Well actually, it was kind of slow for awhile but it got good. Im actually suprised I watch this show. I never thought I'd be really into a show that is based around mobs and such, but its actually a lot more than that. Its pretty good. I got into about a year ago when a bunch of my friends started watching it. I still havent seen every episode of the previous seasons but I'm working on it. I strongly suggest everyone give this show a shot. This is the final season. Theres been talk of making a movie out of it but I kind of doubt it'll happen.

Thesis and such
So heres my thesis:
Although the addition of the Michigan Merit core curriculum classes will present some positive results, both students and teachers will be ultimately effected for the worst.
I've actually learned alot about this topic since I've started researching it. When talk of the change first started last year, I thought it was only effecting the downriver area but now I found out that it's all of Michigan. Even though I can see why the State School Board would want to require more core classes, Im actually against it. I mean, I understand that the more math and science classes that kids are exposed to, the more likely they are to really get into those subjects and possibly start a career in one of those fields. But if someone has a passion for something else then that probably wont change. In my opinion, all the school board is doing is limiting kids from more career choices by cutting other classes. Here's a pretty good article about the change if anyone is interested. I actually found a really great book about the topic in our U of M library. If anyone feels up to it, let me know what you think of my thesis..or the whole topic.

Final Paper Progress
The progress for my final paper isnt going so well. Im having a lot of trouble finding sources. The articles I'm finding on the databases arent really related to what my paper is about. I may need to shift my focus a bit. Hmm. I dont know. Im pretty stuck. I did find a great article in Time magazine about the curriculum change so thats cool. So one down, seven to go? yeah. Thats my problem. I even checked wikipedia just for the hell of it and they didnt even have anything. You know theres a slim chance of finding information about something if it isnt even on Wikipedia. I plan on writing out interview questions tomorrow and trying to get in touch with the assistant principal of Roosevelt. Ugh. I dont know. Im frustrated.
In other news..I hear some wrestlemania guys worked out in our fieldhouse..so thats cool I guess.
Well, Im off to do homework.
