Lazy mornings

Saturday morning. I don't have any money invested in any of the movies this weekend because I could not guess which one was going to make any money. The three movies opening in the theaters this weekend are Bewitched, Herbie, and Land of the Dead. Movies are the quickest way to make Hollywood Dollars in HSX because they adjust Sunday morning to 2.8 times the opening weekend box office sales. So if Herbie makes $20 million in sales this weekend, on Sunday morning it will adjust to H$56. Well, since I couldn't make a good guess as to which of the opening three movies would do well, I didn't take the risk. My big weekend is next wekeend, when War of the Worlds comes out. Everyone go see that movie!!!

You're in for a rare treat, cuase I actually feel like taking about my life right now. I'm trying really hard to finish my Master's Degree in Engineering Management within two years. I'm not really happy with my job and my degree is the only thing keeping me tied to it. I just have this feeling that there is something out there I'd rather be doing, but I just don't know what (or where) it is. Anyway, my efforts to accelerate this degree means that outside of my 40 hours of work in the office, I'm in the classroom listening to lectures for another 12 hours a week. This really restricts the amount of time I spend with my friends, and when I do hang out with them I am usually exhausted. Should I slow down my degree and get back into my social life? Is that worth being tied to work I am not enjoying?
