The Hunger Games

Alright, I've gotten addicted to the books like everyone else (working on the third one at the moment), but the movie was beyond amazing! I went and saw it Thursday at midnight with my friend Jillian, and it turns out half of Regent was at the same theatre. They actually dedicated an entire AMC, all 20 theatres, to the midnight premier. So cool! I was glued to the screen the whole time and impressed by the risks they took as far as filmmaking goes. Afterwards, Jillian and I got an early breakfast at IHOP and talked. Great night.

Jillian!

Ya, I'm a nerd.

Regent announced last week that 8 of our most cherished professors will not be rehired next year. This is a huge blow to the undergrad program and it is causing quite a stir. The most disheartening thing is that the administration has given absolutely no reasons why these specific professors were let go. It was a poorly handled situation and the students are deeply disappointed. But I'm impressed with how everyone (for the most part) has been handling it in a Christ-like way by showing our love for these teachers that have impacted us both in and out of the classroom. Students love Regent and we are taking the stand to do what the school teaches us and act as Christian leaders to change the world...or our campus for now. Please bathe this in prayer and check out the website created by students. God is in control.
