Wasting Time

On Thursday through Saturday there was a conference in Jackson that I was told to attend. It was sponsored by this group that is trying to encourage minority graduate education in Mississippi. I have so many other things I need to be working on, I wouldn’t have gone if I had a choice. Most of the stuff on the agenda was stuff that I’ve either already heard before or stuff that doesn’t do me any good to hear now since I’m almost done with graduate school.

So I went down to Jackson on Thursday and after getting something to eat and doing some shopping I went to the conference site. After a while I was starting to get bored out of my mind. I looked at the agenda and didn’t see anything interesting, so I decided to skip the rest of the night’s festivities. I went to see Ocean’s Twelve at the theater in Clinton. I even got my own Regal Crown Club card, which I remember Randall mentioning a few weeks ago. I thought it was a good movie, though I can’t compare it to the first one since I barely remember it. It’s pretty rare to see a good movie with so many big name actors.

Friday was a bit more interesting but nothing really noteworthy. On Saturday I left early in the morning and drove back to Starkville. Hopefully one day I’ll get to go to a real conference.
