religious preachers just dont learn

Monday morning after trying to respond to the ton of email I receive daily, I was quickly thrown into a story that was quite interesting and let me just say I saw a bit of a free show.

That morning on the famous "hill" was a preacher. Carrying his giant picket sign about how we are all sinners and that Satan is going to come get us all, was a pathetic sight to watch.

This wasn't the first time, the infamous preachers have come to Cerritos to come and try to "save" us the students. They don't know how to approach the students correctly. All they do is throw their big words out to us, saying that we are all sinners and that we are going to hell if we don't repent.

Heck, if they really think students are goign to listen to that, they have another thing coming.

There was no trace of respect given from their part, so how do they expect for students not to fight back?

One line the preacher made clear was that "all gays and lesbians were going to hell"

I was busy interviewing a person when I was distracted by the "OOOOooooooHH's and "ahhhhhs". I turned to my left , and to my shock there was two girls kissing, their way of rebuttal.

How do you like that preacher guy? Left his jaw hanging wide open.

New semester and upcoming events

This fall semester I was privileged to be the Arts editor for the newspaper, and whew!!! it has been quite challenging. 
The long nights into producing the paper are hard. People don't realize that the hard work that it takes to put a simple 8 page paper together. It might seem easy, but in reality it takes cooperation and team work to get the pages done.
Being the Art's editor has its advantages also, it lets me in all those free screening passes, and I have a head ups on all the upcoming arts and entertainment happening at Cerritos College.
Fall semester has been heading in a good direction. So far I have covered arts stories that have been of great interest to me like going to the movie screening of Burn After Reading, that star two of my most favorite actors: Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Total studs.
It is by far one of my favorite movies that Pitt has come out in. He acts like a complete moron, but somehow it works for him. It had me laughing out hard, that certain people shushed me after my continuous 10 minutes of laughing. 
I also attended my first Board of Trustees meeting, which was quite interesting. I learned that the Cerritos College Assistant coach for the women's water polo team, was the head coach for the United States Women's Water Polo team in these past summer olympics. That was quite remarkable. Something else that Cerritos College could be proud of.
