Groups, Groups, Groups.

Its the end of Tuesday and I feel OK. The day before my group and I had successfully rendered and turned in our mini movie. We would have gotten it done earlier, but my partner Gunner, wasnt there and the movie was on his account. Minor setback, no big deal. After 15 minutes and a phone call to our sick partner, Austin and I were wrapping up the final movie. That was Monday. Now is Tuesday. Gunner is over his cold now but for some strange reason, Austin is out for some strange reason. I'm starting to feel like they both are switching off on being absent or something. Not really, I just chose the two most frequently absent people in the entire class. Oh well. They do get stuff done nonetheless. If I could complain a little bit more, Austin is NEVER on time for class and he is ALWAYS late. Yes, even on late start wednesdays.

That aside I just had gotten settled into my literature group. I chose to read the book "They poured fire on us from the sky". For some reason, every time I take the time to think about that title and possibly reach into the depth and meaning of it, I imagine a bunch of rich european people in a helicopter with the side panel slid open. They all are wearing giddy faces, filled with thrill and excitement, thier watchfull eyes carefully rest on the mass of children below. They squeel to themselves in excitement as a group of young boys start to fall under the massive shadow of their flying machine. A large vat of magma quietly gurgles alongside the Europeans huddled around it. The Europeans can no longer contain their excitement they all silently agree that there is no better time than now. They tip the vat over in absolute bliss, as if they were spilling out the joy in their hearts, to share with the young boys below. Then, suddenly you realize the screams renting the harsh african plains. Thats what I think of the title, aaannyywways. The people I am partnered with are Ed and and Gunner. Pretty cool, pretty cool. Now I have to read ten pages each day of this book so I have another thing on my shedule.
